Interesting, the SmartWool socks I bought to replace the wearing out REI socks already seeing quite a bit of wear. Maybe will buy a batch of Darn Tough socks and see how they do. (hike everyday, bicycle in them, etc... hard on my socks). The last pairs of SmartWool I had are still going strong, just not the new ones. 🤔

6 months later, first hole in the Darn Tough's (side, not bottom). Do I fix it myself or send them in? #socks #darntoughs
send them in. darn tough are high quality and durable. i'd guess they'd replace them.
@ai6yr I would try to fix myself first because I've never learned how to darn socks...then send it back if I don't like the results!

(definitely not the longest lasting socks I have owned, but better than current Smartwool socks)

@ai6yr I've been using darn tough socks for all over a decade. Never had issue with returns when they get a hole. Highly recommended.
@ai6yr i just blew the heel out of my last of my original smartwools from high school. Sad day. The new ones just aren’t the same.
@ai6yr They replaced pair of mine, no questions asked. Only one pair has worn oddly. All the rest are still going strong.
New Darn Toughs from Campmor arrived yesterday. First test hike on the trails was very positive this morning. Will see how they stand up to washing and high usage. Much denser weave than the Smartwools I have been wearing, the supposed mid weight version I purchased not as thick as the mid weight Smartwool. #socks
