Bates Cotton Comfort Crew Socks - 3 Pair Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

For the last few years I've only worn 5.11 crew socks, but at $15 a pair, and in desperate need of new socks, I decided to give these a try. Many EMS and LEO buddies speak highly of Bates, so I was expecting good things. So far they have been fantastic, only marginally a step down from my others, but considering their cost and that it's 3 to a pack, well worth it.
I did have one that seems to have had a hole at the heel upon my first wearing of it. Little disappointed about that and the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars.
But since I got two packs (6 pairs), I'm not concerned to much about it, and I still think they are definitely worth it.
Will most likely buy again.

Very disappointed with the Sox’s. Not feeling the comfort as I thought. . With that being said Thay don’t hug my feet and feel uncomfortable kinda like when ur Sox’s fall down and scrunch up at your toes , plus that feel like there gonna rip when I pull them up witch is almost all the time.

Ripped on first wear. They are light and comfortable but not very durable...

I finally got a chance to wear a pair. Very well made, comfortable, and stayed up all day. Didn't want to take them off before retiring for the night. Will get more in the future. Recommended them to my colleagues. Thank you.

Bought these for use with my Work Boots and also for my weekend Justin Cowboy Boots. These socks are well made and very comfortable. I really like them, and I will likely purchase more in the future.

I have to say these are very comfortable socks they feel great after a long day on my feet they work for me and if they work for me they will be great for anyone else

I have “thick” calves. This socks dont leave that terrible mark some high end socks leave. They are comfortable and i can wear them all day long.

These are nice socks, much better than many of the issued socks I've worn, and a great value overall. Superb materials and construction quality.

Why some are the same price for 1/3 the product I’ll never understand. This is definitely a upgrade from the old issue green socks.

These are comfortable socks that feel good after hours of use. I have bought them before, and will likely buy more when needed.
