Pull-on socks

Small but mighty: pull-on socks are one of the more inconspicuous items of work safety equipment. However, they can have a significant impact on the comfort of shoes and the integrity of the feet. This applies in particular to the wearing of work shoes and safety shoes as well as safety boots, which are mandatory in many companies. These are sometimes heavier than everyday shoes and made of firm, rigid materials. Wearing these safety shoes and boots over a long period of time is not always comfortable.

Socks are small helpers with a big effect. They significantly improve wearer comfort, protect the feet from the cold and also reliably absorb moisture. Thanks to the use of suitable materials and high-quality workmanship, feet are well wrapped with a wrinkle-free and barely noticeable fit.

Important properties of pull-in socks

Working on the move, especially in warm temperatures, makes feet sweat. Pull-in socks counteract sweaty feet by absorbing moisture. In the cold seasons or when working in cold areas, feet quickly become hypothermic. This is where the warming properties of pull-in socks come into play. They keep feet nice and warm in cold environments or when there is little movement.

Pull-in socks can be worn in all common shoe and boot models and also provide a soft and protective intermediate layer in wellies.

High-quality pull-in socks also protect the feet from friction and pressure points. They also offer the best possible comfort during long periods of work in safety shoes and boots.

Choosing the right socks

There are quality features and characteristics that should be taken into account when selecting socks for professional use.

An important factor for pull-in socks for work shoes and safety shoes is their material composition. High-quality pull-on socks should be made of breathable materials. This enables good air circulation and moisture regulation, which is particularly important for keeping feet dry and minimising the formation of blisters or foot odour.

The fit is another decisive factor. Good, well-fitting socks fit snugly without restricting circulation. There should be many different sizes to choose from for each model. In this way, employers can ensure that every employee wears the right size for optimum comfort and protection. This is because socks that are too large slip on the foot, causing friction and creases, which can lead to painful pressure points and blisters. Socks that are too small also cause pressure, squeeze the feet uncomfortably and cause skin injuries. The individual shoe size is a criterion when choosing a size. If in doubt, a trial run will also determine the optimum size of socks.

Retractable socks for safety shoes should also be seamless or have flat seams, as otherwise friction points and pressure points can occur. These can lead to unpleasant skin irritation, especially when worn for long periods.

The durability of the socks is another aspect to consider when making your choice. Working conditions can often be demanding and socks should be able to withstand daily wear and tear. Among other things, the quality of the material and workmanship determines the durability. Pull-on socks that wear out after a short time and have holes in them are not just an unnecessary cost factor. Wearing damaged socks also quickly leads to injuries to the sensitive skin of the foot. Therefore, socks should be checked regularly for damage and disposed of if necessary.

Once the working day is over for the socks, they feel most comfortable outside the work shoes in a dry place. This allows shoes and socks to air out and be ready for the next job in optimum condition. Our pull-on socks are designed for repeated use and can easily be washed at 30 degrees.

By ensuring high-quality, well-fitting and intact socks, their wearers can carry out their work more effectively and safely. They are the perfect complement to safety shoes, safety boots and wellington boots so that you don't have to compromise on foot comfort.
