From the Heritage Collection, our 'Max' Loose Top thick, full-cushioned merino wool socks are designed for comfort without restriction. Ideal for work boots, gumboots or hiking, these Australian-made socks combine the warmth and durability of premium merino wool with a completely elastic-free top.
Designed as a durable merino wool work sock, 'Max' Loose Top socks are perfect for long days on your feet. Whether you're working on the farm, outdoors, or simply prefer a sock that does not feel tight around your leg, the loose top design provides a comfortable fit while the thick cushioning offers warmth, support and protection inside boots.
The outside of the sock is a tidy plain knit, while on the inside the threads are pulled by terry jacks during knitting to form a loop between every stitch (like the surface of a towel), giving them a springy feel and extra air pockets for insulation.
These strong and durable socks are ideal for people who prefer a non-elastic sock, while still providing the secure fit and performance expected from a quality work sock. They are also suitable for those who find traditional elastic-top socks uncomfortable.
Our 'Max' Loose Top socks are suitable for work boots up to 20cm in height. If you're after a longer length work boot sock you may wish to try our 'Max Plus' socks.
Fibre Composition: Merino Wool: 75% Nylon: 25%

Got Questions About our Socks? We’ve Got Answers.
Do Loose Top Socks fall down?
No. We have found over the years that when the correct sock size and style is matched to your shoe type we can keep the sock in place. A little give but not too much stretch, combined with a well-rounded, deep heel made as close to a 90-degree angle as possible, keeps our socks anchored to your feet, so that even with a loose top they won’t fall down.

What are your 'Max' Loose Top Socks made from?
Our 'Max' Loose Top Socks are made from 75% Australian-grown merino wool and 25% nylon for added strength and durability.
Are the merino socks itchy?
Not at all! Merino wool is incredibly soft, making them socks perfect for all-day comfort.
Can I wear these socks year-round?
Yes! Merino naturally regulates temperature, keeping your feet warm in winter and cool in summer.
Are they unisex?
Yes, all our socks are unisex – simply match your shoe size with our Size Guide.
How do I wash merino socks?
Sizing will be correct after the first wash. We recommend a quick, cold machine wash. They should be washed separately, or in a hosiery and lingerie wash bag so they do not catch on other garments. They should then be air-dried in the shade. For further information on how to best care for, and store your socks, please see: Caring For Your Socks and Apparel
