Strong Wool Technical Gumboot Socks

$28.65

Highly technical gumboot, or work, socks, with woven padding, made for long days in boots.

A new development in yarn has resulted in this very hard wearing sock. These gumboot socks are ideal for traditionally tough footwear like gumboots, work boots and waders, making them an ideal choice for days you need to cover a lot of distance or spend a lot of time on your feet.

Since wool fibres are naturally fantastic at absorbing moisture and insulating while wet, 100% wool woven padding is positioned in the areas your feet sweat the most - the toe box and the heel. Since these sections are woven with 100% wool and not blended materials, absorption is not hindered.

This sock design also limits foot slippage within the the boot, keeping blisters from forming and foot movement to a minimum. The result is a durable, hardwearing sock with enhanced dry times. They're ideal for sweaty feet!

Please Note: Testers stated the socks gained comfort after washing and wearing 1-2 times.

70% strong wool, 19% elastane, 11% nylon.

Features

Elasticated rib cuff
ESSTM (Elastic Support SystemTM) technology: high stretch elastic is knitted throughout the sock, for support and to lock the sock in place
3-D Y shaped heel to create a form fitting pocket, shaped to cup the heel, optimizing fit
Under arch ventilation panels to assist in thermo-regulation of the feet.
Mesh panels in the top of the toe and foot to aid in moisture management during wear.
Seamless toe closure for comfort
All over strong wool construction for ultimate durability

Read All FAQs

Merino is a type of wool—it comes from merino sheep, and its fibres are far finer than standard wool, which is why it feels soft rather than scratchy next to the skin. Where we've listed a product simply as wool, it's a coarser, hardier fibre. That isn't a lesser thing. It's exactly what you want in an underlay, a blanket or a dog coat, where loft, warmth and durability matter more than next-to-skin softness.

Wool underlays rarely need washing. Airing outdoors on a dry, breezy day in the shade will freshen one and let the fibre recover its loft. Spot clean marks with cool water and a wool-safe detergent. If a full wash is unavoidable, check the care label first—some are machine washable on a wool cycle, others are better professionally cleaned.

Yes. Every product page includes a size guide with detailed measurements for that specific garment, along with a how-to-measure section so you can compare against a piece you already own. Sizing can vary slightly between styles, so we recommend checking the guide for the item you're looking at rather than assuming your usual size. If you're between sizes or unsure about fit, email sales@nznature.co.nz and our team will help you find the right one.

You can reach our team by emailing sales@nznature.co.nz or calling +64 3 9700 441 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm NZST). We also have a contact form on our website. We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day.

Yes. You can return an item for exchange within six months of the order date, provided it's unworn, unwashed and in its original condition with tags attached. Fill in the returns form enclosed with your order and send it back to us. Return postage is at your own cost, but we don't charge you postage to send the exchange item out. If the replacement is the same price, it's a straightforward swap. If the values differ, we refund your original payment method and recharge for the new item. If you're not sure which size to go for, email sales@nznature.co.nz with your order number and we'll help you work it out first.
