Darn Tough Merino Wool 1/4 Cushion Sock

Item #DRN0015 | 49 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Tough socks but fit can be better

By Ranked #76 - Running Socks August 16, 2009

Got these in the rainbow red color, which is an awesome color. Love the feel of the wool, as soft as Smartwool, but absolutely no pilling after washings. Unfortunately for me, the fit is not so good. I'm usually a medium in Smartwool, so I ordered medium for these, the toe box is definitely too big, probably designed more for guys than chicks (these are unisex rather than gender specific as in Smartwool). But no matter, I gave them to my other half, and he loves them and has been wearing them for a month and they have proven to be more durable than Smartwool. He usually wear down the socks at the big toe and achelle area within several weeks. But it hasn't happened so far on these socks. So 1 star less for a less than idea fit for chicks. Otherwise they are certainly worth the money.
