Review on Durable and Cushioned Women's Hiking/Trekking Socks by Darn Tough by Glenn Cho

I'm a little sock freak. I'm also tall and wear size 10 women's shoes/boots, so I have a hard time finding regular socks in local stores that fit well, are long enough on the leg and aren't too tight or stretchy. , and their toe seams don't rub when I'm wearing my nice leather boots or certain shoes. These socks have no toe seams at all and what a treat THAT is! They fit around the feet and ankles but not too tight. And because this particular style is meant for hiking, the entire sole of each sock is padded. You can really feel the cushioning, which is great; I've never had socks (or even slippers) that cushion the foot from toe to heel anywhere near that. (I have a second pair of Darn Tough socks, which are knee-high with no padding and no seams on the toes, like all their socks. I really like them too.) Darn Tough socks are very expensive for "plain" socks. A pair of socks. I've never spent so much on a pair of socks in my life. Then again, they're guaranteed for life, so I figured I couldn't lose. My socks can outlive me! (Also: they're made in Vermont, NOT China; a big plus from what I understand.) But the seamless toe intrigued me the most. I definitely made the right choice. I would and will buy more Darn Tough socks when I need them. (I have other worse pairs that need to be worn first.) One more thing: lots of different colors and patterns, a bit awesome I think. They are whimsical and cheerful; and they'll make you - and the people who see you wearing them - smile.
