I know this sub loves these socks… I feel differently. I currently have about 15 wears of my two pairs and one of them is ripping at the heel seam. Also they are so incredibly tight around my ankles that I feel like I’m removing my feet from a bandage at the end of the day.

Obviously your mileage will vary, but I will not be purchasing more darn tough socks.

Need to try a different style or size. I had this issue. Made it work for a year before I wore a small hole in the bottom.

Socks too tight will kill your hair. That's why you frequently see men without any hair on their ankles. Same with hats. I mean, or anything.

I think I ordered a medium but should have ordered a large.

Anyway, we will have different shaped feet, and YMMV, but if you wore through any part of it that fast it's because either the sock or your shoes weren't a good fit (or both.)

It's gotta be tight enough to fuck with your circulation to kill off the follicles. Think less Julian tight black shirt, more compression sleeve but 2-3x as thick. For example, there are many sticks that will fit right, but if you have the extra long boot sock, and it's not a tube sock, chances are as you pull it up there WILL be an uncomfortable tight spot.

Go for a silicon edge liner or something to keep it up, not sheer vice grip tightness. Otherwise it's just a bad fit.

I don't know, I've met lots of people sticks up their butts, haven't found anyone enjoying it yet.

I’m trying to edit before sending but texting can get so long that I get tired of texting and send before thinking to edit. Just don’t be too quick to reply when it matters. 😉

The no shows are this way for me, but I’ve since switched to the micro crews. It’s night and day. When my no shows inevitably wore out I just warrantied them all for micro crews.

I didn’t know you can change the type when you send it in for the warranty. I may have to look into that

The warranty comes back as just a store credit, so you can use it towards whatever. The crews are slightly more expensive so I paid probably $15 total out of pocket to replace 3 no shows with 3 micro crews.

Yeah, first pair I ever got ripped the second time I wore them. I guess I could have sent for a replacement, but it didn’t feel worth the hassle. Cheap ass socks from TJ Maxx will last me 2-3 years, typically.

Your socks are too small if it feels like that. The extra pressure/tension could be contributing to the seam rip.

Same and I've found smart wool socks to be way better value.

I don’t find them to last longer than other socks (especially the thin varieties) but the warranty makes it worth it.

I also can’t wear Darn Tough because of how tight they are. I tried sizing up but they were huge on the foot and still too tight around the ankles for my liking. I have small ankles/calves but I am sensitive to tightness in that area and prefer Icebreaker or Smartwool (I hate Smartwool for everything else except socks)
