GBDid Darn Tough Sock try to get this review taken down? I've been contacted by Trustpilot, Darn Tough Sock want my personal info, including name, email and phone number, Trustpilot say that if I don't provide them, they will take my review down. If I don't provide my personal details to Darn Tough Socks, Trustpilot will remove a negative review. Hang on a minute, some people won't want to provide these details, and negative reviews will be removed. Does this not undermine the whole point of Trustpilot? So, the socks. I bought them in Ambleside, in January 2023, at a cost of over £20. I've had them for a few months and tried them out with my winter (leather Meindl) boots and summer (fabric Salamon) boots. They are a flat sock with little in the way of cushioning. They had a rough texture, I found that they rubbed against the ball of my foot after 3 to 4 miles. While I was in the Lake District I also bought a pair of Eskimo Sock from the Norwegian Shop in Keswick. They were £14 and perform a whole lot better. Darn Tough Socks, lack cushioning, are on the rough side and you can get better for less. I haven't done a long term wear test as I find them unwearable for any decent length of walk. In my original review I gave the item 3 stars, as I took into account all the positive reviews on Trustpilot and other forums. However, in hindsight, I've decide to base my review on personal experience only, and say that I regret buying the socks, that's twenty odd quid I'll never see again.

GBWith all of the hype With all of the hype, these are simple sweat socks, softer than many, and way overpriced - $22 for a pair of sweat socks?! - with all kinds of gimmicky sizzle.... and the prices go up from there. Granted they are made in the USA, and that is important to me. Still ... almost as happy with socks from Costco where I can get six pairs for that amount. Although I'd rather buy American, as long as they are NOT made in China, North Korea or Russia .... I'm fine

GBWill be a customer for life! I love these guys. I initially bought several socks from them and after about a month, realized that they didn't live up to expectations and I didn't really like them. I contacted them as they have a very generous support policy and they agreed to refund my order. They asked a few questions about what I didn't like, but it was obvious for how they talked that it was because they wanted to make a better product, not because they wanted to weasel their way out of supporting it. Well, from that conversation, they recommended a few different pairs which they sent me for free. Those ended up being amazing and I ordered a ton more. I love these guys and between their socks and their customer service, they have a customer for life!

GBSimply the best Best socks ever. Comfortable, warm, stylish. They last years, even when put through the wringer (thru-hiking, running, etc). And the company honors their lifetime warranty when they do eventually wear out. About 7 years ago I sent in 2 pairs of holey socks and received new ones that are still going strong!
