Darn Tough 1403 Men's Merino Wool Boot Sock Cushion

I have purchased a few Darn Tough socks (leaving review on only one)... they are expensive as heck but so far despite washing them all 30+ times, the bottoms aren't wearing away like usual cotton socks. I don't know how long these things should last but they are trending to seem to last a lifetime at least in my use case. Maybe the elastic material inside of them will eventually degrade and give out if that's going to happen over time. 🤷‍♂️In the time I have had all my Darn Tough socks, I would probably have gone through two iterations of replacing my cotton Gold Toe socks. What I mean to say is, up front they are pricey, but I am reaching the point of quality over quantity in terms of ROI. I still have what appears to be a lot more life in my Darn Tough socks still that justify their initial cost.They are thick on the bottoms, look well constructed, and are comfortable. Maybe a little on the tight size for their 'size'. Also maybe not suited for summer heat, but I endure.Do recommend giving them a trial/sample run if you are in a limbo state of trying to justify cost. I gave them a 'trial run' and am now ~12 pairs in on my 'trial'.

Unsurpassed fit, feel and quality. Best socks I’ve ever worn.

Most comfortable and cushioned sock I have ever wore. Warm, but not too warm.

I've worn these for s few months now and they are great so far. More soft and comfortable that the Darn Tough tactical socks. I work construction, for reference.

These socks have been nothing short of amazing! I have no conflicts of interest and didn't get these socks as part of any promotion. I have used these socks since purchasing in 2015 for hiking, skiing, and mountaineering. They are seriously as good as new. I rotate 3 pairs of the socks, but usually on ski trips for up to 5 days or so I will frequently stay with the same pair for the entire trip but bring a back up just in case. I rarely if ever switch to another pair because they hold up so well and really have never started to stink. It's nothing short of amazing. Please, please, please Darn Tough; never sell out to another company that does the usual thing and screws up your quality and customer service! This is, for me, a peak example of an extremely high quality product and company!Highest praise and recommendation.

Highly recommended. Durable, functional, comfortable.

Not perfect for heavy hiking but really great for just a day trip. The padding is not enough after day 3 of walking 8+hrs per day. These are perfect for a long day trip. They are darn tough socks and highly recommend them. The padding near the toes are lacking slightly but if you are summer hiking you don't want anything thicker. I instead will be buying Alpaca Wool thick boot socks instead of these because I need the extra padding after 8+hrs per day on the trail. These are the next best socks you can buy so I do like them!

I have bought a few pairs now, they are more expensive than the name brand off shore stuff, but the quality is top notch.They are fitted, well sewn and very high quality material. For cold days these are the best.I have tile floors in my home and when it is cold they never warm up, that is what these socks are for.
