During the drying process, the fabric shrunk a little
3/5

As I wear a 9 1/2 shoe, I got the 10-inch size I sized up to 12 but they shrunk quite a bit in the dryer, so they are now For now, I'll have to make do with these socks as I wish I had bought the XL socks. Here's today's update When I put them on for the first time, they are really tight. After the second wash, they shrank again. After I contacted the company, I was told the products were preshrunk, so they wouldn't When we returned home, I was instructed not to use heat when drying the clothes which does not match the care instructions. In the end, they seem to be fine socks, but I don't think the high price is worth it. Having read the glowing reviews, I might have had too much high expectation. (Which, now you've pointed out, seem suspiciously good) Buy these only if you want to hand wash and line dry socks as a new hobby. It might be fun to turn it into a role-playing game where you dress like a pioneer and wash them at the "crick".

Your height is just right! As I've only had this pair of socks a couple weeks, I'm not able to comment on Despite this, I thought I'd go ahead and write a review to make people aware of how high they were because there were no pictures of reviewers showing their height
5/5

I wear them with my running shoes as well as my mid-range shoes hiking boots with a tall heel. Perhaps a bit too warm for summer running, but I have noticed my feet sweat less in wool blends than The material is super soft and comfortable. There will be more socks from Darn Tough on their.

I like the socks, but they're definitely worse than the ones they used to make three The trend in America is to create a good product with high quality, then profit from out of it by selling it to a bean counter or by cutting costs The product becomes just like every other product on the market as they continue to cut corners
4/5

In general, when the company makes changes to this product, you can tell that it is not to improve it, but to save money and reduce the price. In comparison with socks made today, the socks they made 3 years ago are clearly superior. As previous generations of socks did not have this problem, I am certain that the portion of the sock situated on top of the ankle will rip/tear/wear away first. Though it seems as though their socks are still nice, they are certainly worse than the ones they were making three.

I own only one pair of socks
5/5

They are the best ever. When I researched long distance hiking, I learned about these socks. I've never heard of these socks before. Why have I never heard of them before? Socks that I have ever purchased and put on my feet were the most comfortable and durable I have ever owned. It has been my tradition for the last 30 years to purchase Gold Toe socks. It was my pleasure to purchase 3 pairs of these socks to test out and I really enjoy how A nice snug fit is achieved by them drawing up around your foot. As long as you have a boot on, they don't bunch up on your toes and they don't slide down your leg very much. It's hard for me to express enough praise for this sock, and I will be replacing my Gold Toe socks with more of these. Although they are very expensive, they are well worth the money. There is an unconditional warranty on them, which is almost unheard of these At this age, it is worth it to invest in socks like these that are comfortable, long lasting, and can be worn down. That was a fantastic job that you guys did on designing these socks!.

It is okay if the fabric shrinks or if the fit is tight
4/5

The largest size you had was the one I ordered. This type of shrinkage makes the pants fit too tightly after they have been washed. Despite my like for the socks, I wear them only.

It's a match made in heaven! Within seconds of pulling this pair of socks over my feet, I knew I was in love
5/5

As opposed to socks that are either big feet socks or small feet socks, this sock was a perfect fit. Despite being so narrow, these shoes fit snugly and give the impression that they were made just for me. It feels luxurious to sit on such thick padding. I don't feel itchy at all from wearing the wool There's a lot of softness to them. As a result of wearing synthetic socks all day long for work, I feel my feet begin to smell after halfway through the It will not smell at all if I wear these socks for days. I love them so much! It does not matter how warm or how cold it is, they are comfortable. With cotton socks, I often have sweaty feet, and their elasticity is lost after a short time. With my feet dry, I do not lose my elasticity like with cotton socks. The Darn Tough socks on my feet until the day I die would be all I needed.

DON'T DO IT! It is common for socks to fall apart after a few months of In total, I wore these socks for approximately 30 hours of hiking before they My ankle has a bruise on the top! It is not cheap to buy these socks and they don't last that For the third time, I have purchased a pair of sneakers that have ripped around the ankle in the past year! While I know this company offers a lifetime guarantee, the socks must be shipped back to them at your expense
3/5

So you have to spend more on socks that are poorly made.

As of now, everything is going well
5/5

These are socks, so that's what they are. As an avid hiker and general purpose user, I have actually worn out many pairs of Smart Wool socks. Having heard so much about the Darn Tough socks, I decided to try them. It is common for people to use them for multiple purposes I have hiked thousands of miles on various trails and have yet to see a single complaint. My first impression of the socks is that they fit and feel great. In addition to wearing them on long cold weather walks, walking in hot weather conditions, running on the treadmill, and just keeping my feet warm when I'm at home during the winter months, they are also great for keeping my feet cool when I wear them outside. So far, they have held up really well. Whether I will need to take advantage of their lifetime guarantee will depend on how things go.
