  • All you ever needed, but didn't know that you needed
Size: X-Large Color: Onyx Black
I must say, I never thought of socks. Why would I? Sure! I've worked as a firefighter, paramedic, physician assistant on my feet all day, but socks are socks after all right? Of course I loved hiking, going up mountains and hills and through streams. But cloth is cloth and sure it's important to have clean dry feet for many reasons including to prevent infection and skin breakdown, but my socks before were adequate. This is what I thought probably 5 years ago or more. Since I then bought my first pair of Darn Tough socks, life has just been better. Sure, part of it was due to a career change and my first marriage which has been very happy and exciting yet peaceful. But the unsung hero of my travels has been that, with the exception of when I'm performing music and have to wear a tuxedo or a suit, all I wear during other activities are my Darn Tough socks. I have low ankle socks, I have higher longer socks. I have ones that are well padded, ones that I've treated with permethrin for when I do international hiking, and others that I'll wear with my work boots or for special activities. Some I work in the lawn while wearing, others while traversing up a large granite mountain. But regardless of the situation or what type of Darn Tough sock I'm wearing, my feet are always safe, padded, well protected and dry quickly if exposed to water. With the exception of one pair of socks that I purchased due to the aforementioned musical performances that I engage in ever so rarely, the rest of my fleet of socks all come from. Darn Tough. It's just a matter of what pair I wish to wear that day and that moment, what job there is to be done. I think it's safe to say that this company has outstanding quality control as I've not had to deal with hardly anything and the only sock that I had to get rid of was due to a momentarily particularly aggressive African Gray parrot, who must have felt that the resting pair of socks had insulted its mother and decided to produce a large hole in them while mimicking barking like a dog. He's an African Gray: if you know the parrot species, you'll understand. If you don't know the species then what I just said makes no sense, but trust me, it makes sense. I cannot recommend these highly enough and as long as the company stays in business, I will stay loyal customer without a doubt. I have bought several different product lines of theirs and all have had excellent quality control and longevity, so I assume their entire brand offerings are probably the same in high quality. I chose not to add a picture of the socks originally, since I assume anyone reading this review (you poor individual... there has to be something better you can be doing with your time, yes? Just trust me and by the socks and then get on with your day, people need you) are familiar with how socks tend to look. But if you do wonder while you wander, the socks look as they do in the description the company has provided. However, after some thought, the possibility that one of my pictures could end up on the top of the Amazon review for this item was just too sweet, too enticing for me to pass up. It also allowed me to burn even further time and stay unproductive for even longer, a win-win if there ever was one. Pictured: two several years old pair of Darn Tough tough socks of different styles, and an amateur (ham) radio to show how adventurous I must be. My best regards to any and all who have read this review, and I apologize for using your time in such a poor manner. Hopefully at least someone benefits from it, which will make it all worthwhile. Meanwhile I have succeeded in not only speaking highly about a product that I fully support and love to wear, but I've also succeeded in putting off work that I should have been doing on my house by an additional 15 minutes. So either way you look at this review, for me it was a success. ... show more

  • The best socks for life.
Size: Large Color: Dusk Denim
Darn tough socks are truly the best ! These are the only pair of socks that I want to wear all day…and the next! Made from merino wool, these don’t get that gross, wet sponge feeling that most other tradition cotton or polyester socks do. Also due to the merino in this product you can wear them for a full sweaty gross day hike, and they barely have any smell. ( I have really stinky feet too) This model, 1959 I think it is, is specifically for hiking. They have a bit more merino in them than other darn tough socks, which in my experience makes them softer and warmer, specifically in comparison to their athletic lightweight model, 1715. Both are soft, comfortable socks, but the hiker model with more merino and cushion is definitely more comfortable and soft, and has a lot less of that gross wet sponge feeling. They fit tightly around the foot but not too tight, which also helps prevent blisters. The best part in my opinion is that if anything happens to these socks, from normal wear and tear to your dog chewing them up, you can send them in and darn tough will fix them or send you a new pair, free of questions and free of charge. Now so far in my experience there are a couple downsides to these socks. They must be washed on delicate and tumble dried on low or hang to dry. For the 1959 model at least, they do tend to get some plant fibers and splinters stuck in them, even after washing, they are small but you can see them in my photos. You can pick these out, it’s quick and easy for the most part, but if you don’t you’ll have splinters stabbing you in the foot. I suppose this is unavoidable do to the super fine wool they use on these socks, just something to be aware of if that bothers you. ... show more

  • Unbeatable Performance and Enduring Quality
Size: X-Large Color: Onyx Black
These Darn Tough 1959-C-1023-06 Hiker 1/4 Midweight socks have become my go-to choice for staying warm and dry on cold, wet days. They pair exceptionally well with my ankle-high boots, making them perfect for muddy seasons and outdoor adventures. Even when these socks are exposed to water, they maintain their ability to keep my feet warm and comfortable. Darn Tough has truly mastered the art of crafting durable socks, and this pair is no exception. As a 255lb man, I've struggled with socks wearing down quickly, often disintegrating within a year. However, these socks have proven to be remarkably resilient. After a quick wash in cold water and a cold tumble dry, they bounce back into shape, almost like they're made of nitinol. But what sets these Darn Tough socks apart is their outstanding lifetime warranty. The confidence in their product is evident with this policy – if the socks ever break down for any reason, you can exchange the old pair for a brand new pair. I purchased three pairs of Darn Tough socks throughout 2022, and to my amazement, all of them are still in prime condition. These socks have exceeded my expectations and become the only ones I wholeheartedly recommend. In conclusion, the Darn Tough 1959-C-1023-06 Hiker 1/4 Midweight socks are a true winner. With their unbeatable performance, warm merino wool, and ability to withstand wear and tear, they are the perfect companion for cold, wet days and any outdoor activities. Add to that the impressive lifetime warranty, and you have a sock that not only keeps your feet happy but also gives you peace of mind for the long haul. Darn Tough has won me over with their exceptional quality, and I can't imagine recommending any other socks. ... show more

Size: Large Color: Dusk Denim
Nice item, well built for the money. The table is heavy only problem we had was in shipping. When UPS delivered the box, it looked like it was dragged behind the truck and run over. This isn't the only time UPS did this. Amazon was great about it even though it was not their fault. Hats off to Amazon. ... show more
