Darn Tough Mens Number 2 Micro Crew Cushion

I have found both the large and medium size fit me about the same, while the medium is a bit more snug each size is very snug. (Need to try out the extra large). So fit may be an issue, especially when wearing a liner. Other than that, these are great socks.

So, what I love about these socks is the height and the elastic tops, unlike brands like smart wool that can be painful if you have big calves. The lack of seams is FANTASTIC! Though despite the no bunching claim, they definitely will. What I don’t really like is where the cushioning is, or rather where it’s not. I’m not even remotely convinced that if it’s hot outside the thinner material at the top of a sock will keep your feet cool. It’s still crammed into and touching the top of your shoe/boot keeping it hot. If you’re going to do it though, it needs to come at least as far back as the last “knuckle” on your feet. Any bending point in the foot that’s going to contact your boot/shoe should be cushioned. They’re great quality, and I want to like them more, but it’s… almost perfect. I’d love to give a micro crew full cushion sock a try… but they don’t seem to make one that doesn’t jump to the extra cushion heavyweight category. Don’t get me wrong, that I want to try for winter, but doesn’t sound too pleasant for summer. These are probably perfect for casual wear in shoes, but not so much for hiking in boots, imho. Having worn them a bit more I had to take away a star… ok so these are $27 socks… they should be monumentally better than $2 socks… but they’re not. And my other huge complaint is the inconsistency between pairs. I have one pair with decent toe cushioning and terrible heel cushioning, and another pair where it’s the opposite problem. I don’t know if the socks they couldn’t sell end up on Amazon or not, but for $27/pair I’m not impressed at all. They got so much right compared to smart wool, but so much wrong too. I’m willing to give a pair of the full cushion socks a try before giving up on darn tough as a whole.

Can’t kill these socks. I wore them on a mission trip to Africa and backpacked 150 miles over rough terrain with a 40-lbs pack and they were still great when I returned to the states and washed them. They are worth the price and Amazon gets them to your door fast.

Great socks! Nice selection of colors.

I wear a size 15 or 14 1/2 depending on the show. I ordered the socks that go up to a size 15 and the ones that start at a 15. Get the smaller ones if your in the middle.

super comfy, good quality

Can’t do better than this brand.

Built to last, and with a lifetime tear/hole warranty, these socks should be the only available on the market. Would recommend!

Highly recommend investing in good socks! These are one of the best. Love that the foot part is slightly thicker.

Hubby loves them. We have worn Smartwool socks for years, but the quality for price has went south. These are well made and comfortable.
