Handsome

These are great socks but maybe a bit snug for old diabetic feet.

Monsters Give Your Shorts Season Some Character

Durable, comfortable, quality socks. Comfortable in temperate weather and still usable when it gets hotter (though perhaps not first choice for really hot weather). No hot spots so far, even on some steep hikes in the sun.

Love the Designs on these Socks!

Love the designs on these socks! I appreciate how they don't bunch up in the toe of my boots when doing a lot of downhill hiking. The micro crew length is the right height for my hiking boots but still keep my calf cool in the warmer temps.

Extremely well-made!

I put these on into a test run around the house and man are they comfortable! The extra padding at the bottom sure is gonna help go a long way on my hikes. And Sasquatch drinking a beer with an alien was funny as heck!,,

Good Stuff

Darn Tough makes some darn tough socks. Last forever and are super comfortable. I really appreciate the limited designs they release and this release is one of my favorites.

Great socks

Bought these for my sons, they love the socks, but when arrived they looked like they have been ripped out of the packaging.

Survivors

One of the things I used on Arizona Trail every day for 210 miles that finished strong. Almost as good as day one…still.
