Are these other wool socks recommended tight fitting ?????

I bought some of the brand Icebreaker that were too tight. On the Darn Toughs, they come sizes, heights, and various cushion. Be very specific in trying then replicating what will work for you. Costco, laughing, they're a few wrungs below where serious sock talk starts...

I’d be hard-pressed to spend $20+ For one pair of socks. I’d also have to have them in my mitts for inspection first.

Are the darntough socks 5-6 times better than the Costco merino?
