It's kind of funny in the reddit "Buy it for life" community where people are talking about, like, socks... the thing you grind your whole body weight onto 5,000 times per day. I'm not going to start buying expensive uncomfortably thick socks just so I can be happy about how long they last.
- kylehotchkiss 8y agoBuy Darn Tough socks! If they get holes, you mail them back to Vermont and they mail you back new socks.
- doubleunplussed 8y agoYou're kind of buying a sock subscription at that point.
- hinkley 8y agoWhat’s the carbon footprint of sending them back and forth? My heavy socks last forever because I only wear them when I put on my boots, which is maybe twenty days a year. Eventually the moths will get them.
- eaandkw 8y agoI second Darn Tough socks. I retired from the USMC and I will pay what ever they are asking for the socks. It really does make a difference on a 15 to 20 mile hike. Ever since I was issued my first pair I never went back and they are worth every bit of the $25 dollars per pair. I never got blisters since wearing them.
- kylehotchkiss 8y agoThank you for your service! really cool they issued darn tough socks. Have you tried danner boots by any chance? good pairing :)
- kevstev 8y agoWhy would you assume that thick socks are uncomfortable? I find it quite the opposite- I wear almost entirely hiking socks these days, and find the thick wool to be like walking on puppies.
