Darn Tough VermontDarn Tough Men's Quarter Lightweight Running Sock (Style 1715) -

So I get stuck between sizes as I wear an 11-12 depending on the cut of a shoe, and socks are no exception either. With that, I would say most of my shoes are an 11.5.... and that leads most "large" socks to be small and most stores do not carry XL socks for whatever reason even though they sell shoes that are. I marked them as fitting as expected as I did order the XL and they list it for a larger foot, but they do fit nicely. Until I buy a pair of large to compare..... this size is great.I am an active person.... I am in the process of rehabbing a 1950's house, maintain a couple of properties, and besides downtime I have a full time career that seems to round out much of a day, 7-days a week. I have been using my socks I bought locally and besides a couple of pair of Smartwool socks, everything else left my feet tired at the end of the day. I tried different shoes which helped some, it often felt like my feet were being suffocated.So I saw where someone said the XL was the size to get and that is what I did... I think they're a tad too big, but I wear them and on the other hand I have to "fit them" to my feet rather than them stretching out like most socks do.... so maybe they are the right size. I am going to buy a pair of large to compare and will see if they're as comfortable...So performance, feel, and comfort--- so far they are great. I wear them two days straight without any ill effects (i.e. smell, etc...) and they feel as good on the second day as they did the first. Performance is great so far. I have work them for at least a couple of weeks total and my feet have felt great across 6-7 different types of shoes. Overall feel.... they are soft and comfortable with comfort over a long day being key. The other thing I noticed is no more fuzz getting stuck/ compacted under my toenails.... to me that means the socks are staying together and my feet are happy for it!So they are about as expensive as others and I never heard of them before running across them on Amazon, but will never forget them as this is what I plan to buy for the future as they feel that good.I do wish they would make a 1/3 stock--- that way I can wear a 5" boot and have enough to protrude out without wearing a full length sock for the warmer months.

I wear these daily and alternate between two pairs of them with zero stink. I wash them once a week by hand (hand wash not required) and hang to dry. No signs of wear yet. The only thing I would change is the tightness the toe area. I like a minimalist shoe and prefer my toes to be able to spread out in the shoe and they do hinder that a bit. Yes they are pricey but I do feel the price is justified.

Comfortable and feet don’t sweat

For workouts in the gym, jogging, and hiking, these socks are great. Not cheap but very good value for money. Exceptionally durable.

I wear 10.5 in shoes (Vans, Adidas, Nike) so I ordered size Large. I washed and put them through the dryer before I wore them. So I assume they shrunk at least a bit in the dryer. When I tried them on the heel pulled up by my Achilles tendon. So, they were long. I adjusted them so that my heal lines up right and it isn't too much slack. The sock stayed on my foot just fine all day. I can see how they'd be tight around the foot for someone with large feet (wide, not long).The second issue that I have with these socks is that the toe boxes are square, and also kind of tight. They are definitely uncomfortable when I first put them on, but throughout my day I didn't notice them much until I actually started thinking about my socks. And even then, it wasn't as uncomfortable as when I first put them on. They just aren't as comfortable as I'd like.I included a picture that has the sock on the ground, on my foot (if you look at the toe next to my big toe there is a tiny point which is the corner of the sock), and another sock that has a rounder, and much more comfortable, toe.I walk A LOT for work and I'm interested to see the true lifetime of these socks. They will be worn once a week. I will update if I have any issues.UPDATE July 2018:The socks are still going strong. The issues I complained about (square toe) are still present, but I have gotten use to them and do not mind. I especially don't mind because the socks seem as good as the day I bought them. I have bought some more Darn Tough socks and I think I will exclusively wear Darn Tough socks. They are expensive, but in the long run I think they are worth it and will cost less than buying other socks.UPDATE March 2019:Finally developed a hole in one of the socks. Still worth it in my opinion.UPDATE APRIL 2022:Pretty much all of them developed holes finally. I am going to buy some more. I know they have the lifetime warranty and blah blah blah, but I feel that I got my money's worth and have no issues buying more.

Comfortable Sox that wear well and should last for a while

Good socks. Not tight on large feet

Very comfortable!

Se ven de buena calidad, sin embargo lo compre esperando al menos 3 pares, eso dice la publicación… era demasiado bueno para ser verdad

Darn Tough socks are basically the only socks I wear now. I now own about 10 pairs, and I'm happy I'll never have to buy another pair of socks for the rest of my life.Warranty. Warranty. Warranty.Yes, they are expensive, but they are totally worth it.

These socks are amazing and impossible to wreck. Normally, I'll put a toe through a sock within a few months of getting them. I've been rotating through 5 pairs of darn tough socks for almost a year now and I haven't had a single pulled thread. Still as comfortable as the day I bought them.

Pricey but good socks

These socks might be a little expensive but it is well worth it, they are well built with reinforcements in the correct areas and also have a lifetime guarantee if you send them back to Darn Tough. So good I bought a second pair having had one pair for quite a few years already. Hand wash is the only downside! Socks come to just above the ankle so suitable for standard walking boots. If you have particularly high ankle support though I would get the other fit.
