Tough Hunter Over The Calf Extra Cushion Sock - Men's

These are a bit cooler than I would think.Unfortunately, I've only done three or four winter hikes with them so far. They're very comfortable but I was expecting them to be a bit toastier, once I got Salomon boots though that didn't really matter. The main thing is these are extremely cushioned and comfortable.They SEEM durable, they SEEM very well made, the stitching looks fantastic and is tight. The material is awesome. I can't definitively tell you "this is going to last a lifetime" as the warranty implies, but if they get holes I'll change my review.DO NOT put them down on velcro. Holy crap I didn't realise I had my plate carrier where I put them down and I had to spend 6 hours removing loose threads lol. Shellback velcro WILL win the fight betwixt Velcro and Sock. But the fact that it held up so well was impressive! I only had about 20 some pulled loops and none of the threads broke which implies the thread material that went to make these socks is EXTREMELY tough.They're legitimate too, so I am pretty happy. Still think they are a bit overpriced, but if you need a hiking sock and you NEED comfort then this is something worth the buy. I will probably buy some of the lighter summer socks too, but I wish the ankle socks were at least half the price of these. The brand sure doesn't seem to think half the material should be cheaper for some reason lol.But this pair/style in particular is great. I kinda wish they came in the more wacky patterns this brand usually does.

I got both these and the Tactical OTC socks. These are not as thick and not quite as warm, and the fit on them is not quite as good. However, they're nice looking. Since they are listed as the same "Full Cushion" and "heavy Weight" these get one less star. I was pretty much expecting the same sock with a different pattern, but these won't stand up to the same level of cold. Not unhappy with them, by any means, but if you're looking for the warmest possible Darn Tough socks, go for the Tacticals over these ones.

I don't understand how this brand makes their socks last for so long. Their fibers must be imbued with elven magic. I've been using darn tough socks in all their sizes for years, I have yet to make a hole in one. Spectacular.

My feet get cold easy especially when I'm outside, but these socks are perfect. They've kept my feet warm in frigid temperatures, and they fit me really well. I'm a short woman with wide legs, so I bought a guys' size large, and that worked out really well for me.

Great cold weather socks and very comfortable on the feet. Very well fitted and lots of cushioning if you are walking or standing. I always believe that spending good money on keeping your feet feeling good through out the day is very important and worth the money. Will be buying more of these in the future.
