Engineering in socks?
2025-06-07. No Show Socks by Dickies. Dri-Tech.Qty: 6-pairsColor: multiSize: Medium (shoe size: 5-9)It's funny, when I was younger, every Christmas we'd always get underwear and socks as part of our gifts; and we hated it! Which kid wants underwear and socks?! Where are the TOYS? Well I can tell you that once you done with school, on your own and paying your own way, I don't mind underwear and socks (so long as I get to pick which ones) for gifts from my parents anymore because THEY'RE EXPENSIVE!With Father's Day just around the corner, I picked these up for my Dad. He's a shoe size 9.5, but I know he prefers the medium size over the large because this is what he usually orders. These socks by Dickies are a tri-blend of materials and they consist of 68% Polyester, 31% Cotton, 1% Spandex. My Dad has always preferred tri-blends as each material adds unique characteristics. The cotton provides comfort, the polyester add an element of durability, and the spandex allow for elasticity.Compression. These socks by Dickies have a compression band that wraps around the arch of your foot, providing more support and a more comfortable fit. Growing up, my Dad made sure our athletic socks had compression and it wasn't until I tried socks without compression (starving students buy what they can afford) that I realized how significant it was. Such a small detail, yet such a big impact. The compression also helps prevent the sock from slipping and bunching up along other parts of your foot. Going with the slightly smaller size also helps to increase the amount of compression.Full cushion soles. These socks have extra padding on the soles of the feet adding comfort. The tops are thinner to allow for better breathability.Reinforced heel and toe. The heels and toes are usually the first to go on socks. This is because they're usually poorly fit. Toe nails can cause tears to socks, but for the heel, it's usually due to friction from a poor fitting shoe. To compensate, many manufacturers reinforce the heel and toe. But that's like putting lipstick on a pig; it's an interim solution to accommodate a problem, but doesn't address the problem itself. With a properly fitting shoe, socks will be done when you get holes on the soles. Still the reinforced toe and heel adds more padding which people usually translate to more comfort.Note: Like shoes, size is important. While the primary concern with shoes is the width, with socks, many have issue with the length. Size medium is recommended for shoe sizes 6-9, if you're larger than a 10-shoe, you'll probably want to go with the large. If you find that the sock bunches up, or the heel rides up, then go down a size for better fit.Dri-tech. This is Dickies proprietary name for moisture wicking control. Cotton and polyester do provide insulation in addition to their physical properties noted above. And with insulation, feet can warm up or even sweat. My guess is that the Dri-Tech technology is with how the polyester and cotton fibers are woven. Polyester is essentially plastic, so it's naturally waterproof. Cotton is absorbent, so can naturally transfer moisture. Combined, the polyester can help channel any moisture into the cotton fibers, and based on how they're woven, the cotton will transfer the moisture to the surface where it can evaporate. Evaporation is what gives you that cooling feeling (that's why we sweat, to cool off through evaporation!) This is the basis of all moisture-wicking items of clothing (textiles), and the reason for the higher polyester content than cotton.Note: If you don't want the Dri-Tech moisture wicking technology, the cotton, polyester, spandex blend will be different, and will be more like 70/25/5 (cotton, polyester, spandex.) Don't ever buy socks with high polyester blend without moisture wicking technology. These socks will just thin and way less comfortable.Overall, I can see why my Dad prefers these socks to others out there. I Didn't realize just how much Engineering was put into socks, but now have a better appreciation for such a product. If you're gifting them like I am, then you should note that these do not come in a box. They're your standard retail packaging where they're affixed to a piece of cardboard at the top only, so they're be flimsy and you may want to get a box for them for easier wrapping. These socks are primarily a dark heather grey in color and the tips and trims come in multi-color, but there are other color combination or solids to choose from. Best of all, these are nicely priced at about $2.50/pair. Currently (at the time of this posting), they're on sale for 39% off making them about $1.63/pair and a fantastic value!

So far so good
I was looking for some socks that will help with moisture to keep my feet dry so it doesn't stink XD. Saw these and one other brand. I bought both to try. So far, I think I like these more than the other brand, not going to lie. The other one, moisture control isn't as good as this one. If I had to give it a rating out of 10 for moisture control (from my experience of using it so far), the other brand get's a 7.5/10 and this one get about an 8.5/10. I could feel that my feet isn't as moist and stinky as when I wear the Saucony socks. May have to buy some for my siblings, as their feet stinks up to high heaven xD. I wear shoes size 9 - 9.5 (US), so I bought Large. It feet pretty comfortably. The cut on these aren't as high but not too low either. Almost perfect, at least for my liking.

Great Product
My boyfriend has extremely sweaty and gross feet and got these. THey're a great thickness and have held up really well with minimal staining. He says they're super comfortable and not too hot in the summer heat. They don't shrink the wash at all either
