What are Darn Tough Socks? | Darn Tough Socks First Review

[@setshootstrike6147]

Nice review. I'm curious how they hold up for you. I am a fairly recent convert to DT and a year in, all of my socks still look brand new. Initially, the price can give you sticker shock, especially when you are accustomed to buying crappy socks. But once you realize that with the Darn Tough lifetime warranty, you basically just bought a pair of socks for life...even if they are not on sale, they are worth more than what you pay.

This is some great feedback and why I wanted to try them out. I look forward to testing them and have high hopes!

After being a Wilderness and Rock Guide (both full and part-time) for over 40 years..."Cheap"...IS NEVER...!!!...the way to go...!!! Are the "Darn Tough" socks expensive...No, if you actually do a "real world" comparison to what you are getting...I have not bought any new socks since 2004 when Darn Tough came into existence...and no I'm not sponsored by them and I have been given some newer socks to me for presents from family...I do also make my socks sometimes and can very effectively repair socks on the trail when I need to because of my skill sets...BUT...!!!...when I get back to the modern world, when after...TEN YEARS...!!!...I got a few holes in them I wished not to repair...I filled out a form...put the sock pair in a box, and got a new pair sent back to me...!!!...So whether socks cost you $1 or $10...in the long run...LIFETIME...means just that and you never purchase another sock again...which I have not since 2004...!!!
