The Workforce brand of work socks is designed to withstand the pressures of physical work.
The company says that most socks either do not offer enough protection or warmth for the outdoors environment or they are uncomfortable and slip down to the ankle when wearing boots, leaving feet to rub in potentially painful places. This can then lead to decreased productivity, chronic foot pain and exhaustion.
Workforce socks have been specifically engineered to meet the demands of strenuous employment, so are particularly suited to those working in the fishing industry.
Designed to be strong, durable and comfortable, the Workforce range includes boot socks, wellie socks, walking socks and socks specifically designed to wear with steel toe cap safety shoes and boots.
Technical features to be found in the Workforce range include knitted arch support engineered for a precise fit and hold, terry cushion panels to provide comfort from shock absorption. Specially constructed ventilation panels aid moisture management, specially treated yarns and bamboo fibres provide natural antibacterial protection. Many styles include heavy gauge ribbing and fully cushioned soles for total comfort and heel and toe areas are enhanced with polypropylene for maximum durability.
A product tester for World Fishing & Aquaculture, who performs physical work in an outdoor environment, said, “These socks are very comfortable and keep my feet warm while working outdoors. They seem to be very durable. Although they are rather tight to get on and off, they do not slip down at all.”
