People on here seem to ponder socks quite a bit. believe it or not, good socks make your feet a hell of a lot more comfortable. the bombas don't have any seam to crunch up in the toe box of your boot. i wear them exclusively unless i know i'm going to trash my feet, then i wear schitty old tube socks.

Tj max and Marshall's often have the factory reject darn tough socks for 10 bucks a pair, usually some minor cosmetic flaw in them

My wife has always loved to wear a pair of new socks.
Never had much as a kid, but new socks to her were a treat.
After hearing the chatter here, I bought her some for Chrtistmas.
She loved them.
So she got more for another holiday.
Then bought her own, and she is FRUGAL.
Never tried a pair.
Ain't no dam way I'm paying $20+ for a pair of socks,

Four pages in (on my screen) and we have yet to hear the standard 'fire response to such queries that would castigate the person asking for questioning the price and suggest an alternative that would involve raising your own sheep (maybe even impregnating them yourself), shearing them, processing the wool, and making your own socks. The way this place is going downhill is appalling.

Dillonbuck, Do this for your wife this Christmas and you are good all year https://www.sockittome.com/monthly-...3ffXl8NLjqheiHu4IST3gmlXbxhoCU44QAvD_BwEThanks, but she's good. Has enough. Funny thing about the socks. She has trouble with cold feet and these things keep them warm, but they don't sweat. Even if she wears heavier ones on a warmer day. She often will wear them a couple days. Something she always gave me heck for.

Worth every penny. Darn Tough socks are all I wear anymore. I have four pair of the mountaineering socks , five of the quarter tops , and five of the no show ankle socks. The oldest are going on six years and hardly show any wear.

Six pair of the Costco Merino wool trail socks were about $10 last Sunday.
If that don’t derail this thread, I don’t know what will....

Big Jim, if you have a local snap on dealer around up there grab a couple pair of his wool socks and give them a try .I own some darn tough socks and the snap on ones are right up there with them for a lot less money.

Oh, I'm wearing a pair of Smart Wool socks today, medium cushion and pleasantly warm, with zero complaints, day three in them.
Don't assume all of one brand perfect. The options make the value, just like any other gear. I recently decided one pair of Darn Toughs I have are not as good as the other versions.

I don't agree at all. I wear cheap cotton socks with everything. Shoes wear out much faster than people realize. They are like cars, can look great and still be shot. You can replace inserts or whatever but you need to replace footwear regularly.
