Reply to comment by weredev in Ordered a few lifetime warranty socks from different brands. From left to right-Grip6,Paka,Cloudline. Hopefully they live up to the hype. They are all super soft by Walton1993

They are the best. I am slowly phasing out my cotton socks for work. I wear rubber boots all day. Darn Tough are the best.

I didn't slowly phase mine out, I broke down and bought 14 pair of darn Tough. I had my first pair fail a couple weeks ago. I haven't even opened all of mine yet, have about 8 pair in rotation

How long have you had them?

A few years. Much longer than the cheap Walmart socks I burn through in 6 months

Maybe if you want lasting wool socks with a warranty, but I'm not very happy with the fit. Icebreaker wool socks with anatomic fit (for left and right foot) are in a completely different league and oh so comfortable that I don't mind that they don't come with a warranty. They still last a very long time if you don't wash them too often.

I will try some icebreakers. I have never worn a "footed" sock. Honestly Darn Tough socks are really spectacular for comfort and last a long long time. I have several pairs that are over 4 years old and going strong!

Perhaps it depends on what you use them for. Darn Tough socks are probably amazing for wearing in work boots. I use Icebreaker for hiking, running and backcountry skiing. I have three pairs. The oldest is six years old and has been on around 50 skiing trips. Still going strong.

Don’t forget they are made in Vermont! The factory sales are worth making the trip.
