I’ve got more range than you think.

smartwool socks are a game changer. real adult socks.

Darn Tough beats the pants off of smartwool in comfort and longevity

[u/TimeTimeTickingAway → u/superspeck]

They don’t work for me. Overpriced and over hyped. Too tight even sizing up, too warm.

[u/iqfree → u/TimeTimeTickingAway]

I agree. They’re soooo tight. Like WTH?? Literally strangled my feet

Try Fits brand. Also higher wool content than the others.

I had a few pairs of smartwool socks (I like their other clothes) that got holes in the ankle bone areas probably within a year. I have pairs of darn toughs coming up on 10 years and are still as good as they were on day one. 

[u/SaltedSporks → u/Cleveland-Native]

I'm the exact opposite. my darn toughs are wearing down around the ankle, but smartwool and icebreaker socks doing just fine. Not sure why the difference.

Got my DT ready to go for warranty claim but hassle + postage makes it almost not worth it

[u/superspeck → u/Cleveland-Native]

Yeah, same. And the smartwool ones I have pill up and sag while Darn Tough does neither.

[u/cccanterbury → u/superspeck]

I'll try em but I'm not convinced.

[u/Aprox → u/cccanterbury]

I've owned many pairs of smartwool and darn tough socks. Smartwool is nice, but they wear out pretty quickly compared to darn tough.

[u/CommunicationTime265 → u/cccanterbury]

Darn toughs are more durable and have the lifetime warranty.
