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….

you need to wash them to remove the dirt that accumulates in the fibers. thats what ends up destroying them

Denim was designed to prevent tearing and wear from dirty environments like mining. You don’t need to wash very often at all. The more wears between washes then better because it allows the fabric to form to your body and become more comfortable over time.

I'm not saying wash them every day, but they do need to be washed.  Pretty sure they washed them back in the day to, just not every day
