Article not listed!

This item is listed on the product page as Damn Durable Over the Calf Extra Cushion Tactical Socks. Extra Cushion are their plushest and thickest socks. But when you place your order it actually orders the "Full Cushion" version which is still a good thick sock but not the mountaineering style sock you need if you order it for the Extra Cushion feature who you are. seems to be charged anyway given the $30 + price tag. I have forwarded this review to the company and have not received a response…

Stinky and Saggy in Men

That can only be me lol. My feet smell horribly and I didn't expect the sock not to smell. It is strange that they advertise that this is not the case. t though. smells almost like sheep even though they've been washed. My calves are small because I basically hibernated and ate all winter, so some of the calves sag a bit after a full day. They were pretty sticky the first day so I don't know what happened to them. But the socks are very good. They tolerate low temperatures very well and have a…

Pros
  • The delivery was very fast
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly

Don't rely on the warranty

Have been buying these socks for years. Why? Because it's the best you can buy. Don't trust their "lifetime guarantee" though. This is a scam. I sent the manufacturer five pairs of socks that were worn out and/or had holes in the heels. Not only did they not replace my socks, they did not even contact me to explain why this happened. I give the socks high marks, although they last a few years at best. Whereas I give the company that makes these socks minus 1 star. You, like me, will eventually…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Shorter cord than others

Soft, durable Merino wool socks - make sure they fit your boots

These Merino wool socks are very well made. I bought them for a trip to Yellowstone this winter. Advantages: High merino content. You will be very warm and breathable. Full height cushion. They have more cushioning in the foot and throughout the leg than any other sock I've tried. They should insulate well and be protected from abrasion by the high cuffs of the boots. Cons: Since they are so thick, you may need to go up a size. I was hoping to wear them in my Zamberlan Zions and Pow Pow winter…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Damaged

You don't go to sleep!

These are really good socks. I give 5 stars for quality materials and workmanship. They fit very well, were quite comfortable, warm but not sweaty or itchy. I loved wearing them. But the only reason I buy socks that are above the calf is because they do NOT fit! I bought this pair to try and plan on buying 6 pairs for $30 each if they work. I received them yesterday and wore them to the office today. I only work in the office, put on shoes, mostly sit all day with a little walk. No exertion in…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Good but not great

Better Than The Rest

I tried X-Large socks. They're no bigger than the other sizes (compared to a friend's pair) but they're much, much longer, about 16 inches. I'm a size 13 and the socks are quite loose on my foot, although there is enough spandex to make them snug enough to give my foot noticeable support, so initially the socks feel very comfortable. The socks also proved to be noticeably warmer than other brands I've tried. These are very good socks. The ONLY thing I wish they were softer than for indoor use…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Available in white only
