Darn Tough 1403 Men's Merino Wool Boot Sock Cushion

Unsurpassed fit, feel and quality. Best socks I’ve ever worn.

This is my 1st pair of Darn Tough Boot Socks. I already have two pair of the Crew Socks. They are not cheap $$, but you get what you pay for. The crew socks are great for my light hiking boots and approach shoes. The boot socks are a perfect fit for my 10" steel toed work boots. Padded in all the right places. What makes these socks a real winner though is the blend of materials they are made from. I can wear the socks in leather work boots and my feet stay dry at 90 Deg. temps. and warm at 10 Deg. temps all day. Neat color combinations too."Made in Vermont" on the tag has always been a symbol of quality to me as a Native Vermonter. Lately, it's been a bit over-used though and some products are just... meh? Darn Tough socks however are the kind of quality product that Vermonters can be proud of and I hope you guys and gals keep making them here for a long time. They are kind of like the Vermont equivalent of LL Bean's Maine Hiking Boot.

Having several inches of sock above the boot top helps you to keep them cinched up properly. The crew sock and an 8" boot (work boot, hiking boot) will leave you having to make more adjustments during the course of the day, whereas, the boot top size sock keeps them from diving down into the boot and everything seems to stay in-place.Great socks, I hardly wear my Thorlos anymore.

Best socks I’ve ever owned. So comfortable, so warm, but not too warm if it’s warmer out. So thick, amazing quality. Had them for years now. You get what you pay for— these are the best socks ever.

My husband loves these socks, they are his go to pair. With the amount of walking he does while hunting, he needs something that stays warm in the winter and still whisks away moisture, and these do both. Would definitely recommend.

I have purchased a few Darn Tough socks (leaving review on only one)... they are expensive as heck but so far despite washing them all 30+ times, the bottoms aren't wearing away like usual cotton socks. I don't know how long these things should last but they are trending to seem to last a lifetime at least in my use case. Maybe the elastic material inside of them will eventually degrade and give out if that's going to happen over time. 🤷‍♂️In the time I have had all my Darn Tough socks, I would probably have gone through two iterations of replacing my cotton Gold Toe socks. What I mean to say is, up front they are pricey, but I am reaching the point of quality over quantity in terms of ROI. I still have what appears to be a lot more life in my Darn Tough socks still that justify their initial cost.They are thick on the bottoms, look well constructed, and are comfortable. Maybe a little on the tight size for their 'size'. Also maybe not suited for summer heat, but I endure.Do recommend giving them a trial/sample run if you are in a limbo state of trying to justify cost. I gave them a 'trial run' and am now ~12 pairs in on my 'trial'.

I haven't felt compelled to review any item before, but I feel like I'd be doing Darn Tough Vermont a grave disservice if I neglected to write a short review of their fabulous socks. If you're on the fence about these socks because of the price, do yourself a favor and buy them. These socks more than make up for the rather high price through quality, materials used, and performance. The stitching in the toes and heel is very heavy and durable. I've already worn these socks on multi-mile walks and hikes, and they feel great even in the awful heat and humidity of Mississippi. The blend of the socks (merino wool, nylon, and lycra spandex) does an excellent job of wicking moisture, and I have developed no blisters or even hot spots with these form-fitting sleeves of wonder. Speaking of form-fitting, these socks are a snug fit by design. If you don't like having tight socks, you might want to go up a size but I love the way they feel. These socks do not bunch or sag down your calf the way cotton socks do. I haven't had these long so time will be the true test, but I anticipate no issues. And if the socks do form a hole or otherwise present me with some problem, Darn Tough Vermont offers a lifetime warranty - no questions asked. How many companies stand behind their products like that?One thing I'd mention that I haven't seen in other reviews: If you wear mid-length hiking boots (such as Merrell Moab mid-length), you might want to consider the Darn Tough crew type sock instead. The boot sock comes up to roughly the middle of my calf - quite a bit above the top of my mid-length pair of Moab Ventilators. I don't mind the length whatsoever, but it is worth mentioning.

I have had these in my Amazon cart for a while and never pulled the trigger because of the price. Started a new job where I was going to be around moisture quite often and working with boots on daily. Pulled the trigger and so happy I did! These things are super super comfy and most definitely air themselves out as a wall suction! The only downside to them is that they do fit snug and tend to leave impressions around my ankle. The socks are Just below my calf and fit perfectly with my high ankle boots. Hopefully do not need to use the warranty but very curious to see how they actually handle that side of things! Four-star only for them being snug.
