Darn Tough Women's Element Crew Light Cushion Sock

To be honest I am super tough on socks. I am on my feet all day, and I run every day so I can go through a pair of socks in a couple months, even the pricey ones. This really irks me. So, I finally took the darn tough challenge ( Lifetime warranty? Let's see it they can make it a year.) Obviously I will have to update. I will say this: So far after a few washings they do not even show slight signs of pilling, though my other socks do. Good sign. As to how they feel, well, they are fantastic and I don't want to take them off. The crew looks a little dorky nowdays as most runners go for no show, but those types slide down on me. Also I have hardware in one of my ankles & like having those bony knobs covered! I love my crewsocks and these are surprisingly comfy even in 100 degree heat with near equal humidity. I was wary of merino WOOL being hot but it is surprisingly NOT so. No seam toes, means no nudging or rubbing down there, extra cushion in the heel and ball is perfect for heel strikers & ball of foot strikers, like me. That heel cushion goes up your achilles too which feels great. I have close to a 7 1/2 shoe size and always order a medium. Put a pair on and...YUM. Best regards, LKW
