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

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.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

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

Same.  I've got those Chups in Grey and Blue.

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  ???

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Darn nice.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Matches my outfit perfectly.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Last one.

How tough are Darn Tough socks? The single issue I have with socks is that they invariably develop toe holes. I've had to throw out several pairs as a result and it drives me nuts.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@gaseousclay they have a lifetime warranty. All you do is mail them in and they send you a new pair.

But the toes and heels have some extra cushion, about 3 x the thickness of the rest of the sock. So they shouldn't wear out too fast. Unless you have raptor claws for toenails….

I bought 7 more pairs of the Darn Tough work socks with padding for steel toes yesterday, I liked them that much. I'm a full-blown merino wool socks addict now. They are so worth it!
