can u tell me a brand that makes lasting socks? i already tried expensive well-known brands like adidas and puma and they still kinda suck
Darn tough will give your socks a lifetime warranty. I've sent a few socks in that got holes, but most of these last longer than other brands, I just happen to walk a lot.
Darn Tough. The hold up pretty well, but they also have (caveat: I haven't had to invoke it in a while) a lifetime pretty much no questions asked replacement warranty.
I've heard great things about Balega but I don't own any.
I don't like wearing socks at all outside of winter so I get the thinnest pairs possible for when shoes are required. I just checked for the brand on my favorite winter pair but there's no label to be found!
I've had pretty good luck with People Socks, they have some pretty decent Merino socks. Got a 4 pack about 5-6 years ago, finally got a few small holes this past winter after a few years of heavy use. Soft, warm, and breathable (mostly just because they're a good Merino blend), pretty worth the price. I've also tried darn tough, and while they are decent (dress socks, but still) I usually prefer the people socks. Just remember not to dry them in a drier.
