How do Darn Toughs compare? I've managed to wear through 8 pairs of costco wool socks without loosing any, so the idea of a lifetime warranty sounds promising.
I cover thousands of miles a year on my feet. Darn Tough socks live up to the name. I've never put a single hole in them. I've torn up socks from most other brands in a few hundred miles.
They last longer than the others (though I have still put holes in many pairs) and as mentioned have the warranty. I prefer the fit of Smartwool but still wear almost exclusively Darn Tough for the durability.
