Bought 2 pairs of their normal socks (everyday/sport socks) because they advertised to keep your feet cool during the day. I decided to test them out before I bought a bunch as workout socks.

1 was completely ripped on the sides by literally the 3rd wear (2nd week I had them), only walking around the office a bit.

The other lasted 8 wears before it got a hole on the balls of my feet and was almost worn through on the sides (about 6 weeks), still not one workout done with then

By very far the worst socks I have ever owned. I didn't get a chance to try their warranty because I moved out of the US, but hot damn I will always recommend against their thin socks, only go for the large tube/hiking/warm socks.

Crazy. I have hiked hundreds of miles in the thin hiking socks, and while they weren't nearly as durable as the midweights, they still outperformed every other sock I have tried. Smartwool, rei, carhartt, typical cotton socks etc. I guess as with most things, YMMV

Well, that sucks that your experience was poor, especially at their price point. I would be a bit frustrated with the brand as well.

Bear in mind they're in the EU and don't need a receipt https://darntough.eu/pages/our-unconditional-lifetime-guarantee

EU and US warranty are not transferable to each other, sadly.
