Very durable and comfy socks

Rating:*****
A great example of how a merino wool sock should be made. Also this company makes all their socks in the USA in Vermont. They only pill ever so slightly after many days of use. Highly recommended over Smartwool(which is now owned by the large Timberland Company). I hope everyone helps the little guy, the American worker, and our economy by buying Darn Tough socks. They run maybe a size large, so if you wear a size 12 for example, go smaller and get a large.

Great Tough Socks!!

Rating:*****
These are great socks. I have three pair of these socks and use them for hiking in the rugged White Mountains. These socks paired with a good pair of boots leave your feet feeling good.

Well constructed, quality socks. Nice and cushiony. Have not had them a long time yet but they are already my favorites for trail running.

Great socks!

These are great socks. Can't yet attest to the durability, but they are very cushy and great on day hikes.

I took these on a hiking weekend and they held up really well. They were comfortable, dry and warm.
