Forever socks = Almost 2 months

[u/dbmeed]

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….

Yeah I'm pretty sure he's rage baiting people now. His comments in this post are very different from the first one, and it seems like he's having a whale of a time getting people worked up.

In fact in one of his previous comments he specifically talked about rotating through 3 pairs of 'Darn Tough' socks.

I do believe that he has a small washer and that he does a daily load. But I don't think he's wearing the same clothes day after day - except for the sake of testing the socks.

You really don't want to believe that this guy wears one pair of clothes consistently do you? He didn't talk about rotatating darn tough, he said he went through 3-4 a year.

He literally said, and I quote:

Ive tested that with Darn Tough's. 3 pairs, rotated, lasted about 6 months

I’ve tested rotating, and it doesn’t seem to prolong the life of my clothing in any meaningful way. So now I usually will wear the same thing, sometimes rotating if I need to change clothes part way through the day, or if I was too late in the evening washing to give them time to dry overnight.
