> one of the companies I recognized was Darn Tough, a sock company. I picked up a 3-pair set of theirs a few years back and they're still my favorite socks. I have one pair and they are truly unbelievable. Ordinarily socks may last me a year or so before the toes or heels give out. I've had the Darn Toughs for at least three years and they look as good as new despite regular use. From the look of them I might wear out before they do. "If our socks aren’t the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you’ve ever owned, we’ll replace them free of charge, for life, no strings attached." I'm proud to say that they're made in my home state of Vermont.
