Darn Tough Vermont Men's Merino Wool Steely Micro Crew Cushion w/Extra Cushion Toe Socks

Darn-tuff socks, especially their thick hiking ones are the most durable on the market bar none. They’re thick enough, but unlike most other socks the material doesn’t wear away, and they breathe really nicely while still being comfortable and warm in cold weather.If you know you know, they are expensive but they have a lifetime guarantee for a reason.I’m leaving this review after about 5 years and I think one of the 4 pairs I bought has one sock with a hole in it which is a mystery, but typically even expensive socks don’t last more than a year maximum for me.

I have the worst time with getting holes in my socks. My work socks get holes within a few months without fail. They get worn out and stretched out incredibly fast.Found this brand randomly and saw they’re guaranteed for life. Figured I’ll just have to send them in every few months. However I’m so impressed that not one of my pairs are even close to tearing yet!I now only wear my darn tough socks now. They are just as comfortable as when I just bought them months ago. I tell everyone about them because they really are that amazing. I know they’re expensive for one pair but they’re incredible! I will be throwing away the rest of my socks and getting more darn tough socks!

*** Update:After putting almost three years on some of my pairs of these socks, they're still holding up well. A few pairs are getting just a bit thin in the back of the heel, but they are far from "worn out". Keep in mind that I'm wearing these at least once a week for work - so call it 150 wears and washes and they're still good socks. Darn, they're tough!Original review:I wear a size 12 and bought the large socks. They fit, but just barely. If you're a big 12 I would buy an XL. I love these socks. I bought two pair and have loved wearing them all day so I bought three more pair today - these will be the only work socks I wear all week. What's so great about them? The heel and toe box are both full cushion (these are the orange parts) and are soft and squishy to protect my toes in my boots. The top of the sock is rather thin, which is great for ventilation. The shaft of the sock fits snugly without being restrictive on my calf. I bought these partly-wool socks to combat the nasty odor of my sweaty dogs, and it works so far. These are a good combo of weight and cushion for a heavy summer sock. I think for winter use I would get a sock with a bit more material all around for warmth.These are expensive, but so long as Darn Tough carries through on their lifetime warranty, I figure that I can spend $20 per pair now and never buy more socks for the rest of my life. Not a bad deal. You won't regret buying these for work socks.

Excellent fit and quality. Very comfortable and do not slide down.Love them and will be buying more.Will update warranty experience in the future if I ever need it.

I absolutely love these socks some of the best socks I’ve ever had. The nice thing about them is a lifetime warranty if the Socks get a hole in them they will replace them..

My husband has always been rough on socks and shoes as a local delivery driver who's constantly in and out of the truck moving heavy pallets. Other "heavy duty" work socks would barely last six months before wearing out. He's had several pairs of these socks for a few years now and they're holding up great. They're comfortable in our 100 degree summer weather and keep his feet warm in our thankfully short winters. The two pairs that he finally put holes in were replaced by Darn Tough after I submitted a warranty claim and paid postage to return them, so they truly stand behind their products. I now put a pair in my son-in-law's stocking every year for Christmas and he loves them, too. You get what you pay for.

Best cushion for my feet. I work hospitality so I stand 7+ hrs a day and these definitely help. Will recommend.

I do excavating for a living, constantly getting wet/muddy feet. These are super comfy and warm even after getting wet. My feet sweat alot in summer but these keep them nice and dry. I’m a size 11 in Thorogoods and I got the large, they fit great. I now have 5 pairs, I can’t stand not having them for work.
