Darn Tough The Standard Crew Lightweight with Cushion by Darn Tough
The Buy Me Once Verdict
A hiking sock is overkill under jeans or chinos, so this is the one for the other 300 days of the year. A light cushion underfoot, a thin leg that fits normal shoes, and nearly half nylon, which is the fiber that actually resists abrasion; the 5% elastane is there to stop the cuff sagging. Same Vermont mill, same unconditional guarantee as our winner. Plain colors, so when one does eventually go, its partner matches the replacement.
The weakest link it solves: Holes and a tired cuff, the two things that end ordinary socks; extra nylon and elastane fight both, and the guarantee covers the rest.
Read why we picked it in our guide to socks that last.
