Favorite Socks!

7 years ago

I've never had socks fit me so good. They hug my feet like a glove. They don't slip around or bunch up in places and I don't feel the seams at all. They're padded in all the right spots and are just a joy to wear.

These are TOUGH!

7 years ago

I run 50-70 miles a week on trails, and tough, durable socks that stand up to mud, dust, crossing creeks, and sweaty feet are not particularly easy to find. Especially after long days on the trails, it's not a surprise for me to find a hole in SmartWool or other brand's socks. Darn Tough are a different stories. I've run in these on both short (5-10mile) and longer (20-30 mile) days without any issues. They're comfortable, dry out fast, and have stood up to miles of trails and wash cycles without any significant signs of wear. Plus they look great!

Superior cushioning, minimal footprint

7 years ago

This is a great-looking sock that provides ample cushioning with not much thickness in your shoe. I’ve taken them on long runs and my feet stayed nice and happy, no blisters or irritation from seams.

Well balanced sock

7 years ago

I normally stay away from socks with cushion because they do not fit well; however, these socks have even cushioning over the foot and don't cause blisters!

Two left socks

7 years ago

I really liked them on the left foot, but couldn't get the sock designed for a left foot to fit my right foot correctly. Make sure the pack has a left AND a right one. If not, you will be the one who gets 2 right socks.

No, I do not recommend this product

Early review

My favorite socks after two wearings. Darn tough makes a great product in a my experience and the UL version is great. Using low top Salomon shoes and dirty girl gaiters these are perfect.
