Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Shout Out - Darn Tough Socks...

Do they warranty them if they are full of wood particles from chainsawing ?

Shout out to the Darn Tough Socks folks! American made. Excellent products. Life time no BS warranty. They stand behind them. Just received my third set of replacements in as many years.

Started buying them after recommendation from the 'Fire 8-10 years ago for elk hunting. Now my Go-To socks for outdoor work and hunting. Over the calf, heavy weight, full cushion Merino wool, that truly stay up. I have wide bony feet. Rub holes in socks on the corners and edges of my toes and heels. Darn Tough stands behind them. Online warranty process. $10 for a USPS Small FRB. A few weeks later, new pair of socks show up. Love 'em!


Darn Tough...

Bought a pair of DT socks for my wife on Amazon. They had a hole in the seam in the toe area.
I sent them to DT for warranty replacement. They sent me a new pair with a note saying that what I bought were not actual DT socks but fakes being sold on Amazon.
Enjoy your new socks!

I used to buy Wigwam merino socks for myself but have switched to DT after their customer service went above and beyond.

I hope the phaggots get warrantied right out of business.
(and I think it's just as phaggy as a consumer to wear out socks and send them in for warranty, fuuck all)

According to them, George Floyd was murdered...

A not so easy for instance – We value differences. Initially, the differences referred to were differences of opinion. Differences of idea, of thought. If you have something to say, say it. No matter how out there, speak up. There are no bad questions, only bad answers. Differences can also refer to differences in gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, education, politics, what-have-you.

The difference(s) of race however is not something that comes up regularly, if at all, in the state of Vermont. Vermont is the 2nd  whitest state in the United States. We are sandwiched between the number 1, Maine, and the number 3, West Virginia.  I’m not going to get into the whys of our #2 ranking, just that it exists. The differences we deal with mostly, I mentioned above.

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, the rapid and intense (re)awakening of racial disparity and more specifically the plight of Black people in the United States has been jarring. In and of itself, the video of Floyd’s killing is nothing new. Black men and women appear regularly on body cams, cameras and cell phone videos. Their (mis)treatment on some of these videos is hard to watch. In the most violent of these videos beaten or killed is often the end result.

The mistreatment of Black people in this country has been going on for 401 years. It’s impossible to say it hasn’t.

Increased awareness of their plight is often preceded by violence to them as a people. Increased awareness of their plight is then often followed by violence from them (and others) as a people.

Can you blame Black people? Could you blame anyone for fighting back? For wanting it to stop once and for all? Imagine being on the receiving end of this nightmare. Not for a few days or weeks or years but for CENTURIES. Enchained. Enslaved. Endangered. While conditions today aren’t at those levels, they are still bad. Shot dead in the street while jogging. Murdered in a no-knock warrant and of course George Floyd. All three murdered in the street. No judge. No jury. Just an executioner. No due process as guaranteed by our Constitution. It’s about as un-American as it gets. UN-AMERICAN.

Yes, the conditions have changed, but they’ve changed from the lowest baseline imaginable and from being more overt to more opaque, and the opacity is so ingrained in our society that it’s invisible to the majority of (white) people. It’s “modernized Jim Crow,” if you will.

And what about Black Lives Matter? It’s a good question. BLM is a statement as much as it is question. Ahmaud Arbery shot dead while jogging. Breonna Taylor murdered in a no-knock warrant. George Floyd knee-choked to death. And that’s just the last few months! To chronicle the history of abuse is a look back over the last 401 years.

BLM does not mean that all lives don’t matter. Who said it does?

Once again, institutionalized racism to the rescue. “How dare Black people, or anyone for that matter, make that statement!” How dare they speak out and imply that all lives don’t matter by saying Black Lives Matter!”

Gimmie a break. Look at the history. Do Black Lives Matter? Of course they do.

Back to our values. Values need to be strong. They need to withstand time and place. Values that work today should be just as relevant 100 years from now as they were 100 years go. We value differences. It works today and hopefully it will work 100 years from now.

Race is not a difference we have to deal with regularly, if at all, in the 2nd whitest state in the United States. So how can we, Darn Tough Vermont, not only value differences amongst ourselves but also support differences outside our community where our influence isn’t as strong?

The very first thing we will do is look deeply at the differences amongst our workforce here in Northfield, Vermont. Do people feel safe here? Do we discriminate in the least bit, either knowingly or unknowingly? Do we practice equal opportunity for all regardless of sex, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, ability, what have you? Once we take stock of who we are, we will work to correct any wrongs.

But Hey !!! Lifetime socks for $30 a pair !!!
