IHG-29 - Iron Heart Engineer Socks

[Guest]

@BULLITT:

…you know what they say about men with big calves... 

..they don't skip leg day? 

[Dion]

Never ;D!

@Axel:

No.  We're big boned.

@BULLITT BEE I just tried them on and found them a bit snug around my 17" calves. I personally would go with the shorter work boot version. I have pretty wide feet and wear size US11 in boots but liked the rest of the fit (which is usually not the case for me with 'one size only' socks). 
@Winchy finds them just right on his 15" calves!

Thanks for looking into this Axel!  I would go for the 20cm socks myself, but some instances I need something taller and wanted to get Iron Heart if possible.

Hm, decision time…

@BULLITT BEE Chup Socks in L are perfect for me, but not sure if that will be high enough for you..

[David K.K. Hansen]

Thanks for the tip Axel, but thinking I might give it a go with the IHG-29 socks.  Will know soon enough if I made the right choice

Q:

W inside or outside?

[Giles]

They'll either be on one side or both sides.  Paula and I can't remember.  If they are just on one side then you can choose whether the W points inwards or outwards, depending upon which leg you put each sock on….

[David K.K. Hansen]

Mine's got the W on both sides.

EDIT: I have the black socks, but would presume the W is the same for the grey version.

By the way Giles, are the socks supposed to be called "Engineering Socks" and not "EngineeSocks" in the thread title?

[Giles]

Thanks - Fixed….

[georgeel]

If you believe that socks are all more less the same, buy these: you'll be surprized!

[DougNg]

I hate socks. I've always hated socks. They slide down my calf and it makes me crazy.

Except these socks.

Giles and Haraki deserve a humanitarian award for these socks.

Bought five or six pairs last year and have been beating on them senselessly.

Can't wait for a restock.

[Giles]

Grey restocked….

@Appfaff you ever wear darn tough socks?

Curious as to how these compare.

[Appfaff]

Never worn those before - I usually wear Stance or Smartwool sockS

What's the percentage of fabric for those? They look so comfy

I like the IH better @Dstauffer The darn tough aren't bad though. Just not IH grade
