Probably these

[Max Power]

Thank you!

[Hemi]

That's them!

We made this soft toe version as well.

Check out the link to see one of the vintage machines that knits THE SOCK. Nylon thread joins the ends of each sock so a continuous tube can be knitted. When they're finished the nylon thread is melted to separate each sock.

How is the sizing on these? I'm a 10 to 10.5UK so don't know whether to go for medium or large.

[Giles]

Go medium.

[khaki8]

Got mine today..they look and feel great. Anyone done the wash test on these to see how much they shrink?
I have size 12 UK feet and worried they may not fit after machine washing and drying.

[Giles]

Mine did not shrink.  Remember, these are batch dyed after knitting, that is likely to take out all the shrinkage….

[khaki8]

G….hope so..they are beautiful socks....want to keep them..perfect boots socks...wearing a pair now..comfy.

[Hemi]

khaki8, the socks shouldn't shrink… Giles is right the dying takes care of that.

[khaki8]

They passed the shrink test…..and I just ordered 7 more pair to the 3 that I already have. I have been wearing Smartwool socks but these are better. Wool socks are the bomb...and hard to find.

[Seul]

Thanks G and Hemi!.. Will be wearing them at work tomorrow!..

[Arlo]

Awesome socks, wearing them today, thanks G!

[Seul]

Unbelievably thick socks… I considered taking out the extra insoles in my boots...
