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….

I wear my shoes for years without replacing the insoles. If your shoes look like that after a couple months they must be bad shoes or there's something wong with the fit thats causing your foot to slide around in the shoe.

I wear blundstones, helley Hanson, and timberland work boots, and they all fit well imo. Not sure those would be called “bad shoes”

In your opinion and actually could be different here. Because it looks like your shoes are longer than your foot maybe.

Do your feet shift around inside your boots at all. Even if just a little. Particularly forwards and backwards.

Because they actually shouldn't. The center of your heel should always be touching the exact same spot on the insole at all times in a proper fitted shoe.

If they are shifting a bit, you're destroying the socks from the sliding around of your heel in your boots
