101st Airborne Socks
Shoe Size (UK):1-4– Only 3 Left
KEY FEATURES
These 101st Airborne Socks bring historic US paratrooper style to everyday footwear.
Airborne Division Heritage
Part of the Fostex WWII Series, these commercial crew socks pay tribute to the 101st Airborne Division. Activated in 1942, the Screaming Eagles earned renown during Operation Overlord in Normandy and the defence of Bastogne. The division eagle crest is knitted cleanly into the upper leg, providing clear insignia detail without rough internal embroidery.
Reinforced Field Comfort
Engineered for trekking and outdoor activity, the socks feature thickened heel and toe zones to absorb friction inside heavy boots. Smooth flat toe seams eliminate the bulk that causes blisters along the footbed, while an anatomical knit shapes naturally to your foot. A wide elasticated cuff keeps the sock firmly in place on the leg without pinching or sliding down during long marches.
Cotton-Rich Technical Blend
Weighing only 50g, the fabric blends 75% cotton for natural breathability with 22% polyester for moisture transport and quick drying. An added 3% elastane ensures durable stretch retention and shape memory across repeated washes. Certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, the skin-friendly yarn regulates heat to keep your feet cool, dry, and comfortable in any climate.
Pair them with your walking boots or everyday trainers for dependable trail comfort and classic airborne style.
