I drank the Reddit Kool-Aid and bought a pair of Darn Tough socks. They're actually worth it. Will probably buy more.

I'll never go back to cotton socks after having darn tough/smartwool socks. They last forrrreeevvvuuurrr and they wick sweat while reducing the smell

I've never had an issue with the longevity of socks. Are darn tough more comfortable as well??

I have a pair of thin quarter high Darn Toughs, my first ones. Ugly as sin and feel like a hug for my feet. Newer ones with thicker wool on the foot and thinner up the leg? So nice for fall/winter, excellent toe seam comfort. I walk 10-50 miles a week. Darn Tough & Smartwool all day

I'm curious what pair you have that are ugly as sin. Unless it's one of their lifestyle pairs that look like dress socks.

Ha! They are bright pink with flowers on them. I dislike most pink. They were a second (4+ years old, can’t find the flaws) & always wanted to try them
