CHUP-TS1 - "Life Long" Socks with Cordura®

[neph93]

I read the last update and was confused as to why I haven’t gotten around to trying these out yet. I went to the shop page and was reminded that the reason is they are only available in M. Will that change? My feet are around a US10.5/11 so testing the M seems risky.

I think you'll be fine, but it's a marginal gamble….

When they will go online?

[Giles]

Shortly after we get them…. 

Probably mid/late next week....

Red and red/mix likely to be later as we have to photograph them etc....

@Giles:

No issues getting the over my ankle.  They stretch to get them on, but they do not lose shape with wear….I have some that are maybe 9 months old and they look almost identical to a pair I picked up a month ago.

I have a particular question.  Since 9 month old vs new is not much different, @Giles do you put these socks in the dryer or hang dry?  I bought my first pair.  After a few wears, if I find I like them a lot, likely buy a weeks worth or so.  Thanks.

The only dryer we have is the wind

@Giles:

(my absolute fave socks)

I am going to second your opinion.  These are a fantastic sock and I wish I had tried them sooner.

This is pretty timely.
After about 7 years of wear rotating through about 6 pair, my first set of darn toughs have worn through the foot yesterday.
Interested to try these and can report back on some honest comparison if desired/permitted.

My biggest issue with socks is keeping my feet warm and dry as most cotton and synthetics trap too much moisture. I guess my feet sweat a lot

Please do. I wear only the IH socks as I find them warm comfortable and hard wearing (and dry), but I look forward to trying these some day.

These are my favorite socks that I've experienced to date. They feel like soft, thick cotton socks but are very hard-wearing. I should note that I prefer cotton socks to wool for most applications (I think darn tough may be merino). I tend to wear the heels of socks out quickly because I walk around the house sock-footed a lot and these ones don't yet show evidence of wear, which is unprecedented for me.

In breaking news, I have put holes in 2 pairs…..
