Darn Tough socks

I finally purchased some Darn Tough socks and put them in my rotation. I wear wool socks every day unless I have flip flops on.
Initial take is I really like them. They feel great. Probably better than Smartwool when brand new but I’ll have to see in a few years how they hold up. I have some Smartwool socks that are 14 years old and still going strong. Considering the price they better feel good.
I’m planning on buying a few lighter pairs of socks to see how they feel so I can give an all around review.
I do think Smartwool offers better patterns overall but that’s not a big deal.
I know, riveting thread but I’m bored.

I have several pair of the heavy ones I use for hunting. The over the calf ones are great with my lacrosse boots. I love them. Hope they hold up as advertised.

I never thought I would brag about paying 30$ for a pair of socks but after wearing them in 17deg weather I would pay 50$ for another pair if I lost the ones I have.

I tell everyone who will listen about them. I have the heavy weight hikers for the elk mountains and the light weights for everyday wear. Gear at keeping my feet dry, even in sweaty boots.
I almost want them to fail so I can finally use their lifetime warranty and get a new pair. My oldest pair is going in 5 years and are still in perfect shape.

I wear the midseight hikers daily to work and work out in them. I have 3 pairs in rotation and last me about 2 years before holes get in the bottom. Darn tough will replace them under warranty for that but I feel kind of guilty doing it. They're great socks.
I have a few pairs of the hunting socks and they're awesome as well. They don't stretch. They will get holes if you lace your boots too tight on them.

I have a pair of Darn Tough and can attest that they are a quality pair of socks but I find the pair I purchased fit too tight to the point of being uncomfortable. Perhaps I should have bought the next size up.
I wear wool socks daily as well and have tried several brands through the years and my favorites have been Lorpen. Their ultra light hiking socks are great and I have put many miles on them
Lol…I know that I am slowly turning into my father when I have strong opinions and comments on the finer qualities of wool socks

I have a half dozen pairs and wear them every day, have for years.
Great socks.
Something about starting your day in comfortable socks and underwear helps to get off to a good start.

I have about 4 different brands of wool socks and like them all. I have a european one that is probably my least favorite, but the darn tough and smartwool are hard to beat. I have pretty much thrown out all of my other socks.

Another decent brand is from sockguy. I really like their thin wool/hybrid version from wolftooth components for 13$ a pair.

Camofire has a few different Darn Tough options today. Cheaper than the Darn Tough site but not sure what Camofire would hit you with for shipping.
