I went to the Army-Navy store to buy all of my gear. One thing I bought was a pair of Fox River Rag Wool socks. I think I wore those for about a decade. Jump forward a few decades and I am still wearing Fox River socks. They are made in America and incredibly reasonably priced. Dare I say, even cheap compared to the likes of Smart Wool and ThorLo.<\/p>\n<p>Fox River Wick Dry Explorer socks are a heavy weight wicking sock with tons of padding. They are not joking when they list it as heavy weight, it makes one of my pairs of boots a bit snug. The socks are the usual hiking sock height of about the bottom of your calf.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-mUVB1fdiECo\/UrpTuTweP0I\/AAAAAAAAPJ4\/rpY6Y-73Wl4\/s1600\/PC220065.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-mUVB1fdiECo\/UrpTuTweP0I\/AAAAAAAAPJ4\/rpY6Y-73Wl4\/s640\/PC220065.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The heal is reinforced and super cushiony.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-ZAg9CCvC7FE\/UrpUkF5hPSI\/AAAAAAAAPKA\/nh2n1NZeJD8\/s1600\/PC220067.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-ZAg9CCvC7FE\/UrpUkF5hPSI\/AAAAAAAAPKA\/nh2n1NZeJD8\/s640\/PC220067.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>And most importantly they are &nbsp;black dog approved.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-8cwCPeNrJVk\/UrpVQ3OTeSI\/AAAAAAAAPKI\/qzxZJgypWLc\/s1600\/PC220069.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-8cwCPeNrJVk\/UrpVQ3OTeSI\/AAAAAAAAPKI\/qzxZJgypWLc\/s640\/PC220069.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>These incredibly well priced American made socks from Fox River should be your next pair of hiking socks.
