    @Niro never had shrinkage issues with all my anonymousismsocks while washing them at 30/40 celsius . Enjoy wearing them

    Cheers,
    David

          Darn Tough Westerners have become my favourite, I have 10 pair of the standard issues as well but they got quite ratty looking quickly, though still perform excellent they pick up every bit of lint, dust, and hair in sight.

            @Appfaff is right about smartwool socks. I got 3 pairs today, and they are AMAZING. Lightweight, medium, and heavy cushioned.
            I was concerned about spending $80 for 3 pairs of socks. But they are so worth it.

            Thanks a lot for the tip.

              Awesome @Filthy - glad you like them!  When I was in High School / College, I worked at a small shoe boutique and we were one of the first (Non-hiking focused) shops to sell Smart Wool. It was a hard sell to first timers to encourage them to drop 16-30 bucks on socks (Something alot of us have come to learn on the forum, luckily) but Smart wool were one of the most "re-purchased" items in our store.

              I have a few pairs of Thunders of Love coming this week, so I will be excited to try those out as well.

                I'm in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and they have smartwool socks out the wahzoo here. It was nice to see them in person…

                    @Filthy @Appfaff smartwool socks are the truth. It’s all I wear day in day out. The best

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                      Love smart wool, but also really love darn tough and point6.  The non 100% wool ones are super robust, can be washed and dryed normal and have compression in various intuitively smart places on the sock to help with fatigue/comfort.

                      Eddie bower's 'first ascent' brand uses point6 rebranded and can be found on sale for under $7 a pop–Sierra Trading is a good resource.

                        I'll echo the darn tough love.  I tend to tear through socks pretty quickly, but after a year of working in them I've yet to see a hole pop up in one…

                          I bought 6 pairs of Darn Tough yesterday too. Banishing cotton socks FOREVER.

                            Good move man. Let dry feet prevail. Make sure u don’t use ANY  fabric softener on the wool socks. Air dry is preferable too. Although I can put smartwools in the dryer… without a dryer sheet.

                            Maybe so. Maybe not

                              Thanks. I never use fabric softener on anything. I like my clothes soft without chemicals. That's why I am so fond of Iron Heart.

                                their warranty is the best.  i returned a pair that developed a hole in the toebox and they promptly credited me the retail cost.

                                which reminds me I should use it sooner than later

                                        I should look into Darn Tough. My pairs of Anonymousism and Studio D'artisan socks already have holes in them, so I won't be buying from them anymore  ???
