Darn Tough VermontMerino Wool Boot Socks Full Cushion

I bought these as a gift for a female friend. With her high standards and discriminating eye, I was afraid these wouldn't measure up in terms of quality or function. Turns out, she wears them every day. In addition, I was worried about 'thoughtfulness' (c'mon, socks for a female friend... DANGER!). She raves about the eclectic color combinations, warmth, durability and comfort. She is petite, and gets cold by a fan in the summer. Lucky for me she absolutely LOVES these. They size well, have a cushioned sole, and the neck of the sock hold them up even with her skinny legs. She loves the heavenly feel and even sleeps in them some night in lieu of worrying about slippers in the dark. They are mostly Merino wool, with some nylon and spandex thrown in to give a foot-forming-fit. Made in Vermont, USA.Put your cultural bias aside. Buy these for your cold-footed friend and you'll both be comforted.

Love them! Not my first pair of Darn Tough, I bought these ones specifically to break in new Docs. I’m super prone to blistering and bruising my feet and I have really thin skin on my heels; I was NOT looking forward to breaking in that thick leather. Imagine “The Princess and the Pea”, but with every pair of shoes, ever. Ouch. I already had some raw skin on my heels from the first time I put on my boots, but all I had to to was slap on a bandaid and these wonderful socks and boom, no more pain! Nice and thick padding, my only regret is buying the socks after the boots instead of the other way around since I’m positive I could’ve avoided the raw skin completely if I had just worn these socks right from the start.When I’m not using these to break in boots, I just wear them around the house. They’re very warm, and I have perpetually frozen feet. I’m considering buying another pair a size or two bigger and using them as slippers.I’ve also discovered these are nice for gently compressing my ankles. They’re not designed or advertised as being compressive, but I figured I’d mention it anyway. Just like my feet, my ankles are pretty injury-prone and I’m pretty much rolling at least one of them every couple days. As you can guess, that means they’re sore and swollen often, but less so when I wear these socks. Good enough for me!

Listen, I hate wearing socks. My feet are always sweaty and overall damp socks is such a gross feeling. I also am a bit sensitive to textures, especially on my feet for some reason, so I really am picky about how my socks feel. Cannot be loose or tight, and definitely not itchy. I bought these because I am visiting Seattle in November, and my feet are prone to being cold. I put them on right away because I caught the flu and had chills. It actually worked so well to keep my feet warm and the rest of me from feeling excessively icky. I was a little nervous because at first it itched my feet a bit, but now that I've worn them for a couple days, they feel good. I anticipate these will keep me nice and warm.

Comfortable with great style and extra padding. Lifetime warranty impressive!

Cushioned all over and so comfortable. Fits in my boots and doesn't bunch up. Warm and cozy. Lifetime guarantee and made from Alpaca with just enough spandex so it keeps its shape. Washed them a couple of times and they are still like brand new.

Pros:1--For my women's size 5 feet, these fit well all over, and I am happy that these come in a size S, many socks do not2--Purple and gray patter is nice; Material is smooth, seems to stand up to wearing and washing/dryingCons:1--Socks don't do much in terms of keeping my feet warm2--Despite claim that the socks have full cushion, whether wearing shoes over them or walking around indoors, I don't feel any cushion beyond the soles of the socks like any other socks.Conclusion: Decent socks but I wouldn't repurchase because I prefer cushioned socks.

I bought these socks for hiking trip to the Grand Canyon I have planned for April 2020. I just took them out on a preliminary hike. The hike was an easy three mile hike, but it is November in MN, so I was curious how they would work in cool temps. My hike next April will be done in a range of temperatures of (possibly) 30-80 degrees over four days. (It will be a R2R2R hike). These socks did not disappoint. My feet stayed warm. They never sweat, got too hot, or too cold. When I got home, I didn't even take them off... Usually I am whipping my socks off as fast as I can so my feet will stop sweating. The socks ( and my feet) didn't even stink (another reason I usually whip my socks off as soon as possible). I just might be buying a few more to wear as my everyday socks! With a lifetime warranty, I believe these might be the cheapest and best pair of socks I have ever owned.

I have small feet and most socks end up sliding up my heel. These fit snugly and have great cushioning on the soles. No toe seam!

When you're walking/hiking, you don't want to be concerned that your feet will get uncomfortable or that you'll get blisters from material rubbing your skin. You also don't want your socks wearing out any time soon. These Darn Tough socks have you covered.

Comfortable socks with thick foot cushioning and not too hot despite in tropical environment.However, due to the thick cushion, the shoes you wear should cater for more space, at least half to 1 size bigger, so that your feet will not feel so tight.

Wife thought they'd be itchy she has now ordered morw pairs..lol
