About Duray

Duray makes wool socks in Princeville, in Centre-du-Québec, and has done so since 1939. Its socks are made for work, winter and outdoor sports, the kind you pull on before shovelling the driveway or heading out on a snowshoe trail. Wool keeps feet warm even when it gets a little damp.

Duray suits people who work outside, skiers, hikers and anyone whose feet get cold in January. A few pairs make a practical gift, and they slip easily into a holiday stocking. Keep a thick pair in the car for winter emergencies. The company has more than eight decades of roots in its small town.
