My only complaint about Darn Tough Socks is that they never seem to wear in. I bought a half dozen pairs several years ago, and all of them are like brand new still, which is great, but they are also stiff and tight like I've never worn them. I wear them predominately for work, and I'm on my feet all day, so that's a testament to their staying power, but damn, I wish they would stretch a little.

I use them too, but I guess I never really thought about socks "breaking in," like shoes would. After 1-2 years of use, they are holding up like new.

Do you have lightweights? I find those to be tighter than midweights, which also seem a bit more plush.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I have the light hikers, so maybe that's the deal. I'll look into some mid weight ones.

Alongside darn tough, I love me some bombas.
