These Things are AWESOME!!

I 'discovered' these socks back in 2017 when I first bought a few pair. Not only are they comfortable for year-round wear but they're virtually indestructible! I'm on my feet part-time in a hardware store, boots for support on a concrete floor. Summer or winter these socks keep my feet dry & comfortable. Boots off at home, in my stocking feet I go anywhere inside & the socks refuse to wear out. They're more expensive than some similar products but nothing I've yet tried on performs like these do.

Washed and worn the socks twice. At first I thought I bought the wrong size (I am men's size 11) - these socks looked about two inches longer in the foot beds than any sock I ever owned. None the less, I wore them a full day after washing thinking the second was would shrink them some, no dice. The fit while wearing was bothersome as the extra material would bunch up between the foot sole and the shoe leaving one constantly thinking about it. Further, the coolmax must have been absent because walking in goretex lined shoes left my feet feeling un-cool. I will be taking them back and getting a refund.
On another note, REI seems to have a problem with acquiring a good pool of sock merchandise. They are constantly changing the lineup and you will find barrels of discounted socks in the stores for close outs or discontinued product. One sock, the smartwool PRO hiking is a good sock - I went back to get some more pairs but was surprised to find they no longer sell those - they suggested the Darn Tough brand. Hence, the reason for my purchase.

I bought these after reading excellent reviews online and seeing YouTube clips. Very high quality fabric. I have washed them twice, be sure to follow the instructions and turn the socks inside-out when washing (not sure why though). The only minor problem I have it that the socks are somewhat tight fitting compared to an REI brand wool sock, which makes it a tiny bit difficult to put the socks on over a hiking liner sock. I think the tightness is due to the very tight fabric weave, which is apparently what sets Darn Tough socks apart from all others and is the main reason for their resilience. I'm curious to see if they will last forever as touted in their ads and videos; only time will tell, but so far I am very satisfied.

Long wearing socks. I use these for wildland firefighting and fall hiking. They last longer then the other Marino work socks I have used worth the price.

I rarely write a review, but Darn Tough socks are simply stellar. I've been wearing various versions for years and they are as good as the day I bought them. They not only last, they fit perfectly, with complete comfort, and even the most knarely wooly ones are soft and not itchy. The different versions vary by weight, cushion, and proportion of wool, the more wool the warmer. But even the lighter micro weight, though cooler than the hiker and full cushion weights, keep one warm on winter days. The Coolmax versions are very nice too, and a little cooler in hot weather. And I wear the quarter sock and lighter shoe socks every day for work, as they are cool in the warm weather and warm in the cool weather, and seem to magically keep my feet from getting as tired from many hours of standing. But they really show their stuff out on the trail, where after days of backpacking off trail in miserable wet weather, the single pair I had along kept their proper shape, dried quickly at night, and spared me of any blisters or discomfort. Even soaking wet they will keep you warm. Don't hesitate at all to buy as many as you can afford, because you will not be disappointed with your investment. Just get them, no other sock compares, and in the long run they will literally end up being less expensive. Just so you know, this is the second review of anything I've bought in two decades.

These socks were the first wool socks I had ever bought, instead of the usual super-store mass-produced ones. I was originally hesitant due to the price point, but as soon as I did a day of work (military, heavy use) in these socks I was blown away with the comfortability, bust most of all the moisture wicking. I still have this exact pair 3.5 years later, and I can confidently say that this one specific pair of socks was what made me fully transition to wool since then. Buy once, cry once. I promise that it's worth it.

I have come to the realization. Darn tough sock are the best , pricey but for the money they will out last the cost of buying cheap socks over and over in my opinion and the fit and comfort can’t be beat , with that said my collection began I now own enough pair to get me thru a week and my feet have never been happier.. also found that the thicker hikers make a great boot sock for work .
