darn tough all the way, they’re pricey but worth it 100%
I have had better luck with SmartWool than with Darn Tough. My Darn Tough socks have developed pills. Both brands have dropped in quality over the past decade.
I’ve had the opposite experience. My smartwools all fall apart now.
I cannot speak to SmartWool but my Darn Tough socks, while still useable, are not the same socks they were even a year ago.
The more important question for me is, how do I avoid merino products that are the product of the most abhorrent animal abuse on the planet?
This article talks about Australia, and I don’t live there, but knowing who to trust is a difficult question in any country when it comes to merino https://www.lemonde.fr/en/m-le-mag/article/2022/09/25/with-merino-wool-the-question-of-animal-welfare-is-back-in-fashion_5998179_117.html
