Obviously high quality socks and really cute. I wish they fit right, but they clearly were not designed for the shape of my feet. I must have tall feet from the base of my heel up to the top of my foot, because it is stretched REALLY tight in this area. It's hard to explain, but there is a gathering of extra width of fabric at the front of my ankle, but it is super tight vertically in this area. My feet are normal looking, and actually quite attractive, so it isn't just my weird feet. Since buying them, I've heard others who have this same problem, though many other people just love them. I recommend trying them, because they are really nice, just not for my feet.
I know you might be thinking “wow that’s a really cute pair of socks but idk if I need another pair of socks” and I am here to tell you this: embrace joy, my friend. Maybe you don’t NEED another pair of socks but you know you want this pair of socks. They have a bear on them. It’s adorable. Every time I wear these socks it makes me happy. They spark joy. Wear a little pair of bears.
Pros: cute design, good quality materials. Cons: sized for children, loose threads where different colors of yarn meet
This is my 8th pair of darn tough socks and I only really bought them because of the cute bear design. All of my previous pairs (some are thicker and some thinner depending where I hike) have been amazing so that's why I bought this pair even though I really didn't need it at this time. The only thing I noticed (and that was a first for ANY of the pairs I bought) is that they pilled a lot after the first wash which has never ever happened with any of the other Darn Toughs I have.
Not only are they the best hiking boots I have ever owned, the are the best shoes period. They have kept my feet warm, dry and extremely comfortable on my weekly hikes. They bend with my foot and yet are supportive. I seem to be the only one without foot pain at the end of the hike each week
I usually wear between a 7 and a 7.5 so I went with the Medium and I'm glad I did - it fit perfectly! (But I think based on this it probably runs a little small). I got these socks because my old hiking socks were not doing the trick, and I was hoping to cut down on some major blisters/pain I'd been having in my very old hiking boots...until I was ready to invest in new boots. These totally did the trick! Cushioning was great, and NO BLISTERS! Plus the pattern is really cute.
I have a pair of Darn Tough Light Hiker Micro crews and they're my favorite hiking socks. I wanted to get another pair on the designs on these were so cute. I wear an 8.5-9 women's shoe and bought the same size in these (M) as I have in the hikers. These were so small! Like others have mentioned, they seems to cut across the top of my foot right where the foot meets the leg. Sadly returned these.
Putting on these socks is like putting on a girdle! They are very tight and I needed lots of strength to get them over my heel. Because there is so much elastic in them, they are binding above the ankle, too, restricting my circulation. I'm giving them away. But they sure are cute with the bear!
These are great socks. I had some trouble with the sizing. Most of my shoes are 7 but some are 7.5 which put me between Sm and Med. Sm was too small so I ordered the med. Med is a little big but fit better than too small!
Theyre cute, perfect temp-wise for summer hikes, but theyre not holding up very well I am afraid. Ive only hiked ~30 miles in them and theyre already showing signs of "wear".
