    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.

          @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  ???

                                Which company? Darn tough or smart wool

                                Maybe so. Maybe not
