Darn Tough Men s Merino Wool Hiking Socks Black Large

I now have 7 pair of these. Along with 3 pair of Darn Tough Men's Quarter Lightweight Running Sock (Style 1715) for shorts weather. I turn 50 next year and I'm fairly certain I found the last socks I will ever buy. I absolutely LOVE these. Back when I was getting whatever socks were cheapest at brick and mortar I would go through socks like water. They would never last. Holes within days. I got foot fatigue from wearing cheap socks within hours of putting them on. My feet would get itchy if I left the cheap socks on for more than an hour without shoes. And the swamp foot I would get from my work boots could choke a billy goat. Everything I experienced with cheap socks are gone since getting these. I can wear them all day and night and they almost feel like slippers. My feet don't get itchy anymore if I wear them all day around the house without shoes. They don't get my feet too hot, keeping them perfectly comfortable. They do NOT fall down either. Possibly ever so slightly depending what my jeans are doing but I have yet to have them bunch up at the top of my shoe. And the swamp foot vanished almost overnight. I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of the stink. These socks are the ONLY thing that worked for me. Breathable and wicking yet warm/cool and cozy. I swear they feel like slippers to me. The only time I do not have them on are when I'm sleeping or showering. And they seem to get better with use. When they are new they don't seem like much. Kinda thin but still more substantial to regular cotton socks I guess. After a few washes they thicken up and get comfortable as hell. A nice bonus. My shoe size varies but I range from a 10 1/2 wide to an 11 1/2 wide depending on footwear manufacturer so I went with the large. They were slightly tight to begin with when they were new but after a few washes they kinda stretched out and fit me perfectly now. I'm wondering if that's where some of the negative reviews point of views come from. There IS a break in period with these socks. Please remember that. They may not be flawless when new but give them some time and they WILL shine! Now I have zero problems paying a premium for higher quality products and these are definitely worth every penny spent. And if they last as long as they claim all the better. My perfect sock.

I hesitated a longtime before buying them. Don't think I'll ever come back to anything as good. Worn multiple times, up to a five days hike with another pair of merinos. Don't stink, good longevity, no blisters, no overheating even by 30°C. Bit of sweat but nothing alarming. I will buy them again.

Thanks

They fit snug all over and stay there . I first thought they would be too tight on my legs cutting off circulation as I am not a young man, because they fit so good there is no heavy elastic band at the top to choke your blood off so this doesn’t happen with me so that is great. They are super comfortable as well, you know you paid a little extra and got something extraordinary.

I bought these socks for myself because I had heard from a friend that they were very comfortable, and I am exceedingly happy with them! At first, $25 for a pair of socks sounded ridiculous, but since being able to use them, it has been amazing to see the benefits. They are nice and snug, but super breathable; they are a good thickness and weight, and because of the neutral colors that you can choose, they are super versatile for different events or everyday tasks that have to be done. They have lasted me quite a while because of their durability as well. They are super strong and don't get discolored or gross-looking. They are just really well built and are great socks overall. I totally recommend any kind of these socks from this brand. They are worth every penny!
