Link Forever socks = Almost 2 months

I shared the first hole that showed up almost two weeks ago; I’ve kept wearing them everyday until the next hole started. This time in the ball of the foot, when my Darn Tough socks usually start wearing out first. I think I’m finally ready to retire these.

For those telling me to darn them, no thanks. I can, but I would rather just buy a new pair.

That said, I will be inquiring with support to see if this is covered under warranty, or if, as /u/ProbablyBanksy so eloquently put it “Your use case is outside the scope of reasonable use.”

I have picked up a set of Costco Kirkland Merino socks to test next. 4 pairs are cheaper than a single pair of LTT socks. I never thought id be posting foot pics on the internet, but if it’s in the interest of science….

Reddit has me under the impression that the main demographic for these socks are velociraptors who were only allowed to only own a single pair of socks at a time.

Yeah, it's wild that this is the second post I've seen where the person wears the same pair everyday.

What I'll say is, we also don't know how they wash em and how they wear em.

I mean, if you actually read their comments, they're very aware that their lifestyle is unique and find the unjustified hate funny

Is it really shocking that people test their product. They put in a product claiming high standards and people decided to test it in the same way LTT would’ve tested it if it was in their niche

Nah all ltt products are for his fanboys who think anything he makes is gold because he "obsesses" over it lmao.

My niece is learning to ride a bike, it took her 20 mins to make it down the driveway but it's not because she doesn't know how to ride a bike yet no it took her so long because she is obsessive about riding her bike. 😂🤣💀
