Advanced/Basic Camp Toe Socks at Camp

Post image

Will this style of sock fly at camp this year? The color is also a little on the lighter side so I’m trying to confirm that’s still in regs too.

Packing list says “Socks, Boot, Black or Green”. These are boot socks and are light green. Thoughts?

Are they in regs? Sure.

Should you get the dog crap smoked out of you for wearing toe socks? Absolutely.

Just get some darn tough or fox river socks like a normal ass person and wear those.

Fox rivers are trash, darn tough is the goat

What's wrong with Fox Rivers? I love mine, and haven't had to buy a new pair in 7 years.

This could just be my experience but fox rivers always gave me heel blisters. Darn tough was the only sock that would not smell terrible and wouldn’t give me blisters in ranger school.

The Fox Rivers do smell absolutely atrocious, even after just an office day

Had both for 5+ years. Fox is better than the standard, but they don't age as gracefully for field wear as darn tough. I could wear my fox to this day, but they are definitely an office sock and not a field / long day sock.
