I must agree somewhat with Jock on this one, if you’re going to wear hose I think they look much better pulled up and looking sharp. That being said I do enjoy wearing boots even when it’s warm, so like Mike I go for a boot sock as opposed to wool hose and they look just fine with a bit of a scrunch sitting just above the top of the boot. I have found that the Thorlo boot socks are very comfy, not so hot and come in a good array of colors.
