Product Description
Featured in Backpacker Magazine’s “Gear Hall of Fame” and Men’s Journal’s “Adventure Travel Gear for Your Next Trip,” the Farm to Feet Ballston Spa Crew is built for big-mile hikes and other outdoor endeavors. It may look like a casual sock, with its traditional stripes and subdued color scheme, but performance-minded features—like hidden plait construction and comfort compression from the arch to the heel—ensure you’re ready for anything Read More
I've now given these F2F Ballston Spa Crew socks the workout they deserved alongside the Darn Tough Cushion Hikers.
I'm definitely preferring the F2F socks. They're lighter, but with a higher (slightly) merino wool content - thinner, but nearly as cushioned on the bottom - cooler when hiking and faster to dry. None of these things stood out more than a little over the Darn Tough socks, but they all did stand out. No blisters helps, too, but I think that's nearly as much due to the right shoes. I will give the Darn Tough Cushion Hikers a higher score on warmth, but only a little.
I'm hoping to see the Balston Spa Crew socks on another drop in the near future.

Anybody have experience with their "guarantee?" They don't seem to offer a straight warranty.

treycookThe best way to deal with quality judgments (positive or negative) is to post comments here--it has more of an impact than one person trying to get refunded the price of a pair of socks. Given the publicity risk, I doubt the company would refuse to honor the guarantee just to save the $15 cost of refunding a pair of socks.

How do these compare to Darn Tough?

DrPatrickBatemanI've never tried to compare them head-to-head in a systematic way, but for me both have been better than the more commonly available brands I'd been wearing before.
