Trekker - Advantage Gear Boot Socks- New Run

Coziest socks

These were my first ever buffalo socks and they were super warm and cozy. This is coming from a girl who's feet are always freezing!

Uneven Quality - Roll the Dice?

The 2 pr received in July 2026 fell far short of those being replaced. The older ones were amazingly comfortable right away. The new ones, not-so-much, even after a couple inside-out washings on delicate cycle. They are still just OK and a touch scratchy, and not as good as my merino socks. (So way overpriced) Disappointing - especially the non-reply to my concerns. Note: These socks were delivered in early July so may have been the so-called old run. I realize that BWC is at the mercy of the mills used to actually make the socks. Still, BWC appears to have known about the problem & didn't warn. Here’s a quote from the BWC 29 July newsletter which was my first clue about a problem. “Do have a couple of production notes on products, the new Pro-gear boot socks are in, and feel much better than the last run …” Again, BWC gear is normally great but I expected better given prior purchases. Buyer beware.

Thick and Warm

These socks are very thick, and the warmest I have ever worn.
