15-06-2025I just hope they last a long time. I noticed maybe a little material balling up in the heel area.

> 3 dayGreat durability and really comfortable for hiking. Thick and warm socks, but not too warm - I’ve hiked in these in the summer and winter. Pro tip - you can mail these in to darn tough in Vermont for a new pair when your socks are worn out (they have a lifetime warranty). You just pay for the shipping to their warehouse.

> 3 dayCant beat these socks. Comfortable and durable. Ive been wearing Darn Tough socks for 5 years now - the originals are still going strong. This is a classic case of you get what you pay for. Ready to buy the last socks youll ever buy? Go for it.

> 3 dayThese socks are wonderful! Ive worn them for about a week total under my boots and they keep my feet perfectly warm during the cold days. Ive yet to try them in warm weather, but Ive heard from numerous places that the wool makes a huge difference in comfort. I plan on expanding my collection to eventually replace all of my old cotton socks. Pros: Warm, soft, thick (not too thick), durable construction, lifetime warranty (yet to test this but have heard great things). Cons: Really the only con could possibly be the premium that you pay for these extraordinary socks. If you do the math though, eventually you would no longer have to buy socks and will actually save money going with these. Etc: I wear a size 14 shoe and went with the XL which fit perfectly. I plan on machine washing cold and letting them air dry to help preserve the material.

> 3 dayGreat socks so far... Waiting see if they will have pilling issues. I wore them three days in a row while hunting for Grouse.

Greater than one weekThese are without question the FINEST socks ive ever owned. I read the reviews...i questioned the hype and bold statements. Everything they said, just like the stories of the Jedi, are true. ALL of them. I am a clean freak. Wear a pair of socks, in the hamper they go. Why? Because they smell like dirty socks. I read these insane claims that you could get a couple of wears out of them. *gasp!!* Ok...ill buy it for a dollar...im going to test this out. So I did. Mother. Of. God. No waaaaaaaay. Yep, its true. You can wear these all day, hang them up and wear them again and guess what? Smell like clean socks. This blew my mind apart. Sooooo...tried a second and third wear. (Yes i was slightly grossed out by this) Again...smelled like clean socks at the end of the day. Yes...for science...i even tried a 4th wear. Ever sooooooo slight hint of gaminess and the experiment ended there. Seriously...its no joke. As for the fit/finish/feel of these socks...i wore them once and donated all my other pairs of thick socks. I even ordered Darn Tough running socks because I have become something i NEVER thought would be possible...i am now officially...a sock snob. These are simply amazing and feel magical. They have great cushioning and my feet have never felt so good. I bought about a dozen pairs because thats what i do and some might say...um...you bought $200 worth of socks? Yep, and id do it again. However...thats not going to have to happen because these have a lifetime warranty AND I have literally tried to destroy them from use and wear and they are flawless. Oh...they said dont put them in the dryer and let them hang dry...pfffffffft. Ive baked the living hell out of them in the dryer and no signs of wear or fuzzies or anything. They are worth the investment. End of story. Believe the hype, believe the stories, believe your feet.

> 3 dayBest socks ever had! Heard from a friend (from Vermont) that these socks are the best. Order a pair and was impressed and we continue to be impressed (got a pair for my wife too). Very smooth and comfortable, not tight at all. Used it outdoors on many occasions, even took them with us for our winter vacation (skiing). It keeps us warm in the winter and cool in summer time. No odors! Throw them in the washing machine (gentle cycle) and hang dry. No fuzz.

SOCK CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
We live and work in Northfield, Vermont. Our backyard is the perfect testing ground to make the finest Premium All Weather Performance Socks. We ski, snowboard, hike, bike and run in the most unforgiving climate in the lower 48. It is under these conditions that we design, test and manufacture our socks.
STILL MADE IN VERMONT, USA
After so many decades why do we still knit every pair of our socks here in Vermont? We don’t do it because it’s the easy thing to do—we do it because it’s the right thing to do. We do it because for us, it’s the only way to do it. There are faster and cheaper alternatives but nobody ever outsourced anything for quality.
- ONE FAMILY - We are family owned. For 40 years we’ve been knitting socks in the Green Mountains
- ONE MISSION - Darn Tough is a family-owned, American manufacturer of end-use-specific socks.
- ONE MILL - Every step of the knitting process happens right here, by us, locally, in Northfield, VT
