Product Description
These Darn Tough Steely socks are built to feel as good at the end of the day as they do the first second you put them on. Each pair is made from a blend of soft, fine-gauge merino wool with nylon for breathability and a quick drying time, and a small amount of Lycra for that just-right stretch Read More
I hear nothing but great things about Darn Tough socks. I've never tried them. They seem a little expensive and just how many models do they make? I mean if someone were to try one, which? I swear they make 43 different 'models'.
Are they really that much better than everyone else? Am I missing out? I like socks. I probably don't need any more..
AntneeI work on my feet. They get dirty, wet,
and muddy, hot and cold. Sometimes all of that in the same day. These socks are the best I've ever owned. You are right about the massive amount of options. Something for every occasion. I've tried a bunch. I want to try more. They run super thick to really thin, short to tall. Even the thin ones cushion my feet better than any other brand I've tried. The same socks keep my feet warm in the chilly mornings and cool in the scorching afternoons. No exaggeration. My work days can start in the low 40s and be in the mid eighties 3 hours later. I used to change socks 2 to 3 times a day. Not since I found these. The first pair I bought was because they were on sale and the salesperson was super enthusiastic about them. Went back the next day and dropped $200 on various configurations. No regrets. Normally I'm super conservative with my spending, and I'm very aware that a single pair costs more than a 6 pack of the regular socks I used to buy. But those 6 socks wouldn't breath like these, heat AND cool like these, and they'd be shredded before the season was done. These are unequivocally worth the price.
Same for me. I wore my DTS on the JMT hiking and they still feel brand new. I bought other Smart Wool socks after that and haven't worn them even 1/4 as much and had to throw them away due to holes in heel and sole areas. For me, well worth the money and comfort. My sister tried on a pair and won't give them back LOL.
jwhelanIt's the middle of the road cushion. They did a poor job naming the cushion level. It looks like they are saying "what level of Cushion" but they are really saying "Cushion" is the level of cushion. So if you look on the "handy graphic" you'll see the middle level is called "cushion". It would have been so much more clear to call it "Medium Cushion". I was confused too.
So I finally really put these to the test: I work 12 hour shifts in the oilfield and just finished a 2 week hitch. Keeping my feet happy with is vital to keeping me happy. Temps ranged from the mid 40s to the low 90s (7-32 for the metric dependent) and my feet were comfortable and never hot or cold. These didn't let me down and I ordered another 2 pair when I saw them drop again. Highly recommended.

No size "small" w/ the boot socks, either. I was going to order 2 pair. However, we're not willing to buy expensive socks that won't fit correctly.
