I’ve had the opposite experience! I have developed some holes but only have several years of tough wear. I got a pair of Bombas as a Christmas gift and they started to develop holes after only a couple months. I wear through socks so fast because I walk and run a lot and have bony feet. DT outlasts everything else by several orders of magnitude. It’s all I wear.

That’s super interesting. What DT athletic sock version do you wear?

I was using these ultralight socks & they got the weirdest holes in places I’ve never even had socks fail. For how amazing their hiking socks are I was super disappointed in these.

100% agreed. I’ve got two pairs of those that I need to send in for warranty claims

I think I got those and maybe the CoolMax ones too? I run and walk 5-10 miles most days, but my feet generally don't sweat so that might make a difference. I also use the hiking socks for backpacking trips they've held up pretty well. The "fashion" socks with cute designs tend to not last as long, maybe 1-3 years for me.
