Yeah darn tough makes great socks…. Until you buy their athletic socks. They blow. They are also way too narrow for someone who has normal size feet. Why would you make socks in the same size be much more narrow? I told them explicitly that’s why I was going else where for athletic socks. They seem to wear faster too. I went with the Grip6 socks

Had a similar problem, went with cloudline socks. Also have a hassle free lifetime warranty like the OP

This is really good to know. I got rid of all my other socks and just have a few pairs of the darn tough mid calf hiking socks. I was going to get some of their athletic socks for the summer, but it looks like I'll need to go elsewhere

Which athletic socks were you using? The DT athletic socks are the only ones I wear (Element No Show Tab Light Cushion). I sized up one size (XL when L was recommended) and they work great.

Their “Run” socks wore out faster than almost any other running socks I’ve ever owned, including crappy generic Target ones. I love DT, own like 8 other pairs of crew/boot length, but won’t touch their running socks again
