#newsockfeel sock 3: Rio work socks
This was the real surprise packet of new sock experience. When buying the Bonds, I thought it was a good chance to stock up on some socks to wear to work. These were priced towards the very bottom of the price spectrum for work socks, but were supposedly reinforced for steel caps boots so I thought they were worth the gamble.
These socks are, basically, incredible. My old work socks are pieces of fluff in comparison. There's a decent pad of cushioning around the soul and the rest of the foot, but instead of being fluffy, it has a real firmness to it. You can feel the support that these socks are giving you. But with that firmness, there's also a softness that you can feel in your toes.
These socks made my work boots feel like higher end trainers. They remain highly comfortable and supportive throughout any shift, whether I'm behind a counter or running stock. These are what my sock dreams are made of.
Overall sock comfort: 9/10
Final thoughts: highly comfortable, highly supportive, the perfect sock for my work needs.
