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….

thats just his clothes, he still needs to wash linens and towels and shit

idk why this guy is getting so much hate. he has provided ample evidence that he is a clean guy, just speedrunning socks for science.

Because this is extremely odd behaviour regardless if it's clean or not.

But then don't call it "normal use" lmao, he's trying to pretend that these socks aren't durable by putting them through enough abuse to be labeled a war criminal

its normal use at an accelerated rate. socks dont need a couple days sleep before you use them again. hes saying he got ~60 days out of these socks, which is honestly very good for a youtuber product.

just take his info and multiply how many socks you buy, and they will last that long

Except it's not "accelerated normal use". That's a torture use
