It’s just personal preference Boomer. I like a looser weave, I have two pair of wool socks I just love. Can’t find the name or remember or I’d buy more of them. I don’t like anything that constricts my toes one iota. The Dt’s do that right outa the gate for me.

I can like them as a winter dress sock here, but just not my faves for hiking, hunting etc.

I can get by with them, just not my faves

Good thing we only have to make ourselves happy w what gear we buy & use

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
