Comments about Darn Tough Light Hiker Quarter Socks - Men's:
I typically don't go gaga over socks but I decided to write a quick review for these socks.
It's my first pair of merino socks and I must say I was doubtful of the claims made by the manufacturer that the socks greatly eliminated odor.
After a long day of a training hike (~16 miles) in fairly hot weather (SoCal during on of those summer days in the middle of January), I took off my socks and gave them a careful sniff and then a more inquisitive sniff... Nothing!
No smell or at least no offensive smell.
I continued the experiment for 7 days in a row, WITHOUT washing the socks (I know, EUUWW!), and still no noticeable smell. I even had my wife smell them; it took a lot of convincing... "but it's in the name of science, honey!". Her verdict: "not bad".
Cons:
* a bit too thick for the weather we have on Southern California
* quite expensive!
Bottom-line: great pair of socks!

Comments about Darn Tough Light Hiker Quarter Socks - Men's:
I bought my first pair in Vermont in 2009 that held up until 2012 when the top stitching began to fray but I still wear them. I then added two more pairs although have just used one of them. I wear them everyday to ride or run to work (8 miles round trip) winter and summer and also on weekends training and running marathons so I'm putting in serious distance. When I get to work (shower at the health club first), I leave them on and put on casual shoes so I don't have to change back for my commute home (run or bike). Other than dressing nicely to go out these are the only socks I wear all day. I rotate and wash them once a week but wool does not smell even in summer and BTW, they are not hot in summer. The socks have not worn out with all that wear and I have only used two of the three pairs. Before this I was using Smart Wool socks but they thinned in the heel so would not recommend these. When the original Darn Tough socks frayed, I contacted Darn Tough to see if they could be stitched because I liked the color. The representatives were great - I sent them in and she actually called and apologized that they couldn't fix it. So I still wear them because the bottom part is fine. So great customer service. Darn Tough socks are as good as it gets.

Comments about Darn Tough Light Hiker Quarter Socks - Men's:
I started with SmartWool socks, which worked decently, but then I got a pair of Darn Tough socks partway through my Appalachian Trail thru hike and I never looked back. These are undeniably durable socks that never got a hole in them and were put through punishing conditions. They went far too long without being laundered and continued to feel great and comfortable. They wicked away moisture from my feet and kept me from getting blisters. I HIGHLY recommend these to any long-distance hikers. I thought my socks were good until I got Darn Tough and realized how much better socks could get!

Comments about Darn Tough Light Hiker Quarter Socks - Men's:
I use this product for trail running (30 miles a week). I was skeptical about them at first, but a lot of runners and hikers use them in New England. I even know people that have had the same pair for over 5 years with no issues. One person had a little wear on a pair after a few years and they replaced them free of charge, no questions asked.
