A perfect compliment for any boot
by .. T. Handley (Washington, DC)
These are by far the most comfortable hiking socks I've ever owned. They don't hold moisture or cause blisters like cotton, don't overheat in warmer weather, and stay perfectly warm in cooler weather, even when wet or dirty. The fit is excellent (how many socks are available in 5 distinct sizes?), and so far they have never bunched up or slid down my calf while hiking. After trekking in the same pair for several days (allowing them to air out overnight) they don't seem to hold any odor and stay soft -- not at all "crusty" in the morning. These have been up and down Mt. Adams with me and on numerous shorter hikes, with seemingly no change in fit or quality after many washes. I'm not sure if it's really necessary, but I've always allowed them to air dry.
Best I've Ever Had
by .. Eschaton (Santa Cruz, CA)
I bought these at the same time as I bought a few pairs of REI brand, and I can tell you that I'm always a little bit happier on mornings when I get to put on my Darn Tough brand socks. They also hold up well on multi-day outings.
Excellent for Diabetics and Those with Athlete's Foot
by .. B. L. Johnson (Chicago, IL)
I have diabetes and need a snug fitting sock. I also have athlete's foot. Merino wool breathes and wicks moisture away from the foot which is critical to cure athlete's foot (along with fungal cream). My podiatrist likes this sock. My foot size is 13 wide and I wear an XL sock.
Blister Free
by .. C. Smith (Fort Benning, GA)
My husband is in the Army and constantly struggles with athletes foot and blisters from hyper-hydrosis (extreme foot sweating). He sometimes gets blisters just from everyday walking around in his combat boots, and always gets blisters every time he runs in the mornings. Yesterday he trained on land-navigation over difficult terrain in the pouring rain. He came home soaking wet and excited about how these socks kept his feet warm in the wet morning and cool when the sun came out from behind the clouds. Most of all he was excited because he had no blisters!
