    Spencer Imbach, Trail Runner & Snowboarder

    I've used these for over 2 years and they still feel and look like they're brand new. These are the most durable socks I've come across. I've ran 100's of miles in them in all conditions, never any blisters or hot spots. If you're having sock troubles, you probably haven't tried these. Also, they are guaranteed for life which is not necessary but just shows how rad this Vermont company is!

    Darn Tough socks aren't as comfortable as Smartwool, but they last at least 5 times as long. These socks are bulletproof and last the test of time.

    Never have changed socks in a 100 mile race. Foot privilege? Maybe… but these socks rocks!

    I've been wearing Darn Tough Socks for about 15 years and I actually have at least one pair that I have had for as long. When I say to people these are the best socks ever, I am not exaggerating. I am hard on my socks and these not only last a long time without getting holes or wearing out, but if they do, then you can send them back for the price of shipping and they will give you a store credit for replacement socks. I have utilized this warranty and there are no catches. Save up at least a few old pairs to save in shipping and then get your store credit. I have many models of Darn Tough socks for various activities from running to farm work to lounging about. I even wear the ultra thin ones with my climbing shoes!
