I was introduced to Darn Tough Vermont socks many years ago at the Outdoor Retailer Show. They are without doubt the most durable pair of socks I’ve owned. Over the past few years I’ve hiked hundreds, probably close to a thousand miles in the pair pictured to the right and they still spring back to life after each wash.
They look like they’ve been worn once or twice. I’ve never had a pair of socks last this long, let alone look this good. The knit is still tight, there is no wear on pressure points, and the mid-foot support is still tight and stretchy.
Hiking and backpacking socks are really expensive, and this is no bargain sock. But do yourself a favor and buy them. You may never have to replace them.
Discovered my first pair while I was back east this fall and am stoked on them as well. Especially because they are made in America! Glad to hear they’ll last as I thought they might…..
