Mens Merino Work Socks

Socks for Tradesmen, Firefighters & Cold Storage Workers

Wilderness Wear has been manufacturing premium socks in Melbourne since 1989. With over 30 years of experience we produce industrial-grade merino wool socks built to last for Australia’s tradesmen, firefighters, cold storage workers and others who require specialist performance footwear.

Merino Beast2 – Available in Hi-Viz

The Beast2 is a tough, durable work sock with solid nylon reinforcement (’reo’) in the heel and toe. High-grade Australian Merino keeps feet warm and dry all day. Secure Fit System (SFS) prevents heel slip and the firm weave delivers a comfortable, supportive fit. Flame and static resistance are included and the Beast2 is available in hi-viz orange and yellow.

Fire Rated 800 Merino Socks – Featuring 93% Merino Wool

The Fire Rated 800 uses a unique three-layer construction: treated wool on the outer layer, a nylon mesh centre panel, and deep terry pure wool on the inner layer for superior insulation and comfort. A 1×1 rib welt reduces calf pressure. Ideal for firefighting, welding, electrical work, car racing, smelting and any environment where heat, sparks or molten metal are a risk.

Frost Free Socks – Designed for Cold Storage Workers

Our Frost-Free socks are developed for cold storage/freezer workers and sailors wearing gumboot-style footwear. They offer exemplary thermal properties, high moisture wicking, fast dry times, low odour and ultra durability — engineered to keep feet warm and comfortable in freezing conditions.

The Frost-Free concept combines nature-made Merino wool (insulating, odour resistant, soft) with Schoeller® polypropylene (superior moisture management and insulation during exertion) to create a hybrid work sock that performs in the toughest environments.
