Product Insights
The Le 31 Wool Work Socks are a Canadian-made, $22 work sock with 50% wool providing natural odor resistance and warmth, reinforced with nylon and spandex for durability and a ribbed cuff for stay-up performance, offering better wool per dollar than Duray/Perri's and 35% cheaper than Fox River, though they run snug on larger feet and require cold wash and air-dry flat to maintain shape.
