Darn Tough VermontDarn Tough Men's #1959 Hiker 1/4 Sock Cushion Merino Wool Socks

A friend of mine suggested he rarely bought socks as he tends to spend money on them whilst I'm naturally thrifty and often go for the family packs of socks. After buying many pairs over many years where they usually rip around the toes or heel, or strangle my feet which do take some hammer as I do a lot of walking in the day, I decided that it was maybe time to pay more for quality.I looked around the web for recommendations as to what to buy and found the darn tough range highly recommended. Upon opening the package they looked thicker than the usual sock but they are a lovely fit, I'm touching on a size 11 so went for the larger size. I've worn and washed these now several times and they look as good as new. I've even had them on with leaky shoes and they have no signs of getting any holes in them. I will definitely build up a collection of these and will now recommend to all that it's definitely worth spending the extra, you'll only have to do it once! Congratulations Darn Tough for a great sock.

Very comfortable from the get go. Great fit. Best socks I've used and, though expensive, worth the money.

Expensive but Great quality. You only get what you pay for.

USED THESE FEW TIMES NOW ON HIKING TRIPS AND THEY DO WORK WELL NICE AND WARM

So... Having read a lot about these socks I was expecting something exceptional. Not really what I got.They're certainly good quality, better feeling than the Danish Endurance socks I've always used previously. However, they clump up on the outside of the toes - That's to say where they aren't 'sided' left and right, the extra material that allows your big toe to sit comfortably ends up as excess material around the little toe... and it feels worse with these socks than I've experienced previously.Much to my disappointment, they're being returned!
