    Gotta love manual labour. One of the things you don’t realise until you do it is just how much you end up spending on socks - this shit is incredibly hard on your feet and what you wear on them.

      Wool socks. They’re worth it. Keep your feet feeling dry (even when they are literally soaked). Fewer blisters if your feet do get wet. My feet are warmer in winter and cooler in summer with wool. They seem to last much longer and wear better too. My older wool socks have just worn to confirm better to the shape of my feet.

      I will NEVER wear cotton socks to work outside again.
