Timberland PRO Sorbtek Moisture-Control Crew Work Socks (6-Pack)

Timberland PRO Sorbtek moisture-control crew work socks (6-pack)

Personal protective equipment is the last line of defence, never the first. Under 29 CFR 1910.132 the employer must first eliminate or engineer out the hazard and control what is left administratively; PPE covers the residual risk. Where the residual hazard is a chemical splash hazard, an IDLH atmosphere or an energised circuit, the control is a zero-energy state or a supplied-air system, not a better consumable.

The Timberland PRO Sorbtek moisture-control crew work socks are a 6-pair pack of synthetic wicking socks with arch support and a cushioned footbed, matched to the Timberland PRO boots that anchor our range. Sorbtek yarn pulls sweat away from the skin so your feet stay drier through a full shift, which cuts the damp-sock friction that starts blisters. If you sweat in your boots or work in heat, this is the sock pack to order with a pair of safety footwear.

Six pairs is a full work-week rotation, so you are not washing socks every night. The arch-support band and cushioned footbed add underfoot padding and a snugger midfoot hold than a plain tube sock, which matters on concrete. They come in Black, Grey, White, and a Denim Combo, and fit shoe size 7-12.

These are the natural pairing for Timberland PRO boots such as the Timberland PRO Pit Boss steel-toe boot, the Timberland PRO Boondock composite-toe boot, or the Timberland PRO Morphix composite-toe boot, but they work with any steel-toe boot or composite-toe boot in the lineup.

Specifications

Who should buy them, and how to size

Buy the Sorbtek 6-pack if you sweat in your boots, work in heat, or just want a week of socks in one order. The pack fits shoe size 7-12, so order by your normal shoe size; pick the color that suits your crew. They are the matched sock for the Timberland PRO boots we cover, but pair equally well with any waterproof work boot where a dry foot matters most. Round out the fit with a supportive insole from the work boot insoles collection, guided by our best work boot insoles picks, and see everything that pairs with your boots in the footwear accessories hub.

How the Sorbtek 6-pack compares

Choose the Sorbtek pack over the budget Dickies Dri-Tech 6-pack when you want the arch-support band and Timberland PRO build; step to the Carhartt Midweight 6-pack if you prefer a heavier cushioned feel. For a soft cotton pack to pair with a fresh boot, the Wolverine cotton crew 2-pack is the alternative. See the full range in the work socks collection.
