Darn tough for a reason
These are the best socks I’ve ever owned. I have purchased 20 pairs for myself (I prefer not having to do laundry very often).Don’t let the price fool you. $20 for one pair of these socks is well worth it. There’s also a 6-pack of this same sock available for $95.Here’s what I love about these socks:* Odor controlThese socks use Merino Wool, and do *not* get smelly after wearing them for a full, active day on your feet. They will not create a stench. This is because most of the odor that our clothes produce is caused by a chemical reaction between human sweat and cotton. There is no such reaction with merino wool, so there’s practically no odor with these socks.Another feature of merino wool is that these socks are moisture wicking. Merino wool can absorb 30% of its weight in water before it feels damp. It also doesn’t “hold” the moisture; if you’re sweating a lot, the socks don’t get soaking wet.This also means that, in a pinch, you could wear the same socks two days in a row without feeling or smelling gross. I wouldn’t recommend doing this unless you forgot a pair, or otherwise don’t have access to a clean pair.* ComfortThis is going to be personal for everyone but in my opinion, these socks are very comfortable to wear. In the Midwest, many people prefer shoes to be taken off at the front door. With these socks, I’ve never felt gross when taking off my shoes. There’s a hefty barrier between my foot and the floor.* DurabilityThe brand is called “darn tough” for nothing. These socks have seen heavy wear. My oldest pair is 2.5 years old and they still are in excellent condition. Not a single sign of wear aside from slight color fading due to me not caring to separate lights/darks when I do laundry.* Lifetime warrantyThese socks have a lifetime warranty from Darn Tough. If they tear, lose elasticity, etc under normal use you can just send them in for warranty replacement/repair.If there was one bad thing I had to say about these socks… it would be that there can be some lint build up after wearing them for a day

Tough High Quality Socks!!
The price that you see is for 1-pair, which seems very expensive for socks...and yes you can get a 6 pack of normal cotton socks for the same price, but these are worth the price. First and foremost, they have a lifetime warranty! That is right if these things wear out, get holes, lose elasticity or get damaged for any reason you can send them back to Darn Tough and get them replaced. So, buying 6 or 7 pairs and you are pretty much set for life.The socks form to your feet so sizing is important. The sizing chart seems ok for the most part, but because these are form fitting if you are near the edge of a size, I would get the larger size. I wear a size 11 4E and I need the extra-large size because of my wider feet, so if you are 2E, 4E, or 6E you might want to try a size up. These are 60% Merino wool which means they wick away moisture and keep you warm in the winter / cool in the summer. I live in New England where we can have 90F summer days and 0F winter days, and these feel great and never let my feet get damp, cold, are overly hot.Most outdoor people will always advise wool socks instead of cotton, because they dry quickly, wick away moisture, and maintain their insulation even when wet. They also tend to stay odor free far longer than cotton. In a pinch you could wear these multiple days and unlike regular socks they do not smell and prohibit bacterial growth. Even if your feet get soaked and you step in a puddle, these socks tend to keep your feet warm even if soaked. These are also reinforced and thick in all the right places and seem to provide extra support almost like a custom insole in the shoe. This makes them thicker than most socks, but I had no problems wearing normal shoes, and as mentioned previously the unique properties of wool allow these to feel great even on the hottest summer days.In conclusion these are the best socks I have ever owned, I used to be the type of guy to buy 12 socks and wear them until they looked like Swiss cheese. These seem bomb proof, and if they ever wear, I get them replaced for free...forever!! They are the perfect height, perfect feel, and have made a huge difference in comfort. Do yourself a favor and try a pair, if you are anything like me you will have 6 more pairs by the end of the week.
