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

                      @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.

                            (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.

                                        Think it, be it.
