Great socks thus far

I bought two pairs of Model 1480 recently and so far they have met every expectation. I will give them a real workout on our next trip abroad.
A few notes for buyers trying to decide on size and type: I wear a size 11-1/2 shoe and initially ordered XL because I was near the upper end of the range for Large and thought there might be shrinkage. But tere was 1/2" - 1" of extra fabric at the toe, so I exchanged for Large which fit much better. I went with the "no cushion" Model 1480 and am glad I did since they are thicker than the synthetic blend "Gold Toe" socks I wore before. A Darn Tough cushioned model would have been too thick for my liking. I also prefer the extra height of a mid-calf over a "crew" height, but that's personal preference.

Impeccable quality. Warm on cold days. Comfortable on hot, humid days. That’s why I have a drawer full of Darn Tough socks.

Extra material in the heel?

I love Darn Tough socks and look forward to every non-Darn Tough pair that needs to be replaced. However while the height on these is perfect for dress pants, I found there is some extra fabric (a finger pinch amount) that is left over on the heel. It shouldn't be an issue, but it's a problem I've never run into with a pair of Darn Tough socks. Maybe it's the middling height?

Not the best

Not a bad sock but worst Darn Tough sock I've used. Thin and scratchy.

Small pouch area around toes

Too tight on calves, scratchy material and toe area narrows too much and you end up with a small pouch of loose sock on end. Do not buy.

Bough an XL for my wide feet

Darn Tough is awesome. I am a 9.5 EE shoe size. I usually wear a large sock but I always go up one size with Darn Tough so I bought the extra large size.

Not really seamless

Disappointed. And I've returned my purchase already. Why? I guess I could say I was mislead. I Googled "seamless toed socks" and your site was one of the first to come up. Me, a longtime googler, occasionally forgets the fallibility of the algorithm, and went with the slick advertising. My bad. And my bad feet. It seems that seams hurt. So the socks are back with you and my search goes on....wish me luck.

Great all-around sock

Great, durable feel. Thinner than hiking socks or other Merino socks such as Kirkland as a reference. I might wear these Darn Tough socks with my dress shoes. Overall, solid.

Super versatile socks

Darn Tough socks live up to their name and perform flawlessly. These socks can go from the streets under winter running tights (no freezing ankles), to the boardroom under dressy pants. They stay put, keep feet comfortable and dry, and are worth every penny. If you haven't tried Darn Tough, you're missing out on the best socks on the planet.

Love quality and guarantee

Love these socks! My wife and I are both transitioning all our socks to Darn Tough, if possible. We love the guarantee and the quality is like no other. I would recommend these socks to anyone. These socks stay up on the calf and are so comfortable. They are a thinner dress sock which is what I was looking for to go with my dress shoes.

Look great with dress clothes

Darn Tough is a darn good sock. Purchased these for work and they are exactly what I needed. They look great with all my dress clothes, are lightweight, keep my feet comfy and they actually stay up during the day. Purchased the Black and Blue colors but returned the other colors because they don't match browns and tans very well. Other than that, couldn't find anything to complain about. Would recommend these, plus the lifetime guarantee is nothing to sneeze at.

Darn tough socks are fantastic!

These Darn Tough socks are fantastic--look like they will last for a real long time. As a suggestion, can you make a pair in brown?
