    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

                                    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.

                                      @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!

                                        From my experience, thus far, they hold up better than any other sock I've had before. I bought 5 pairs for work, a little over a year ago. They are worn with safety toed boots. Each pair is worn 1 day a week, and have a little over 50 total wears. Granted, this may be a somewhat limited sample. But, with a safety toe, I've worn through a number of pairs of socks with less wear. To this point, I've seen no evidence of any appreciable wear to the Darn Tough toes. While only more time may tell, I've got a great deal of confidence they'll hold up for very long time.

                                        Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                                          Thanks for the info. I do keep my nails trimmed, so it's not like I have gargoyle toenails  😃 I have 2 pairs of Beams+ socks that have held up with no toe holes, but they fit kinda tight. The added warranty with Darn Tough is a nice bonus.
