SOCKS

There is a lady out of the UK that makes some pretty cool Merino wool socks….
I guess she makes them on the really old sock machines that are hand cranked.
Sort of like these:
These things almost look like primitive loop wheel machines…
Here is her shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/footfetishsocks?section_id=14739217&page=1 (Don’t mind the name…...)

Darn Tough socks or nothing.

Picked up some smartwool socks, going on reviews they were meant to be really good but I find them pretty average (falling down constantly) Looking for some nice thick socks with a flat toe seam, any recommendations?
-
Mine never fall. Which ones did you get?
-
I love Smartwool also. I use them for basically everything hiking, skiing, running and in the office. They are nothing fancy like Anonymous ism but, as far as comfort nothing else compares.
-
I went for the hike mediums, maybe a hot wash to tighten them is in order.

I love their hiking socks

See above.
Smartwool = made in China, no lifetime (a legitimate one at that) guarantee
Darn Tough = made in Vermont, USA, legit lifetime guarantee
If it breaks, they will replace it.

Used to work in a shoe store that had a massive sock wall. We picked up Darn Tough and I have to say I was severely disappointed in the product. Socks wouldn't stay up on ankle and had multiple customers come back and complain that they would have holes after a few wears.
I'd say the best Made in USA merino wool sock is FITS out of Tennessee.

Do they have a seamless toe @rocket
Trying to find Darn Tough in the UK isn't as easy as I thought, but after putting my smartwool socks in the dryer they feel better so will try them for a bit longer.

@David_pll they use this construction

Really tempted to grab a pair, they look so nice! I just hate anything rubbing on my toes.

I was a sceptic, no longer.
