A bit tight
The material feels great. I find that my toes feel a bit cramped, and they seem to be on the small end of the sizing chart. I wear size 8.5-9 shoes and have narrow/medium feet (I ordered these socks in medium). The length feels a bit short as well, which can lead to the socks slipping off the heel while hiking (very annoying), though to be fair these aren't really meant for hiking. So I would recommend choosing one size up from what the sizing chart tells you.

Ultra lite socks first Darn Tough socks I dislike
I have several pairs of different types of Darn Tough socks that I am very happy with, but not these. These Ultra Lites run significantly smaller size wise. They feel like they slip and slide on my feet. The ONLY time I ever started to get a potential blister hot spot when wearing Darn Tough socks was when I wore these on a fairly short hike (wearing shoes I normally wear backpacking, so it was not a shoe related issue). I do not recommend these ultra lites at all, but I do recommend the normal, thicker Darn Tough hiking socks.

Comfortable, durable and wicks moisture away

I've had multiple pairs of Darn Tough marino wool hiking socks and loved them so much I decided to replace my entire sock wardrobe with the brand. These no-show running socks fit true to size and don't slip off my heels when I walk or run in my Brooks Adrenaline shoes. They have light cushioning that doesn't slip or slosh around. The top layer is also very breathable and prevents my feet from being drenched in my sweat.

Painful for long distance

They're nice and plush, but become painful for me when I'm running more than 3 or 4 miles. The "cushioning" puts extra pressure on the ball of my foot that it quickly became very painful to run in, esp when climbing hills. On a recent run, I ended up taking them off at mile 15 and ran the last 5 miles without socks. Perhaps my feet are more used to non-cushioned socks, but it feels like these socks added pressure points. I have other, less tight but equally thick socks that do no result in the same issue.

Comfortable

I sit right between sizes so I ordered up. Glad I did, these seem to run small. One note - these socks are NOT "no-show". I didn't look closely enough at the photos. This doesn't effect me, but if you truly want "no-show" socks, these are not it.

Runs small, heel keeps slipping off

My feet are size 13, maybe 13.5, and I bought the extra large. They are too small. I constantly have to talk them up over my ankles because slip down as I walk. I bought them online just before a long trip, too late to return them, and I wouldn't have bought them if I had known that the fit was so poor.

Great for every day use

I have 4 of these socks now, I use these socks for chilling at camp, working out, sleeping, hiking etc. Super comfortable and light weight. I used to use smartwool and made a full switch to Darn tough!

Size matters.

Not all socks come in XL but Darn Toughs do. It makes a big difference in feet over size 12.

Poor durability

Comfortable and good looking socks, negative review is for durability as I developed a tear/hole in the sock after my first wear. I did not engage in any physical activity that day either which makes it even more disappointing given the price point of a single pair.
