I second Darn Tough socks. I retired from the USMC and I will pay what ever they are asking for the socks. It really does make a difference on a 15 to 20 mile hike. Ever since I was issued my first pair I never went back and they are worth every bit of the $25 dollars per pair. I never got blisters since wearing them.

Thank you for your service! really cool they issued darn tough socks. Have you tried danner boots by any chance? good pairing :)

What’s the carbon footprint of sending them back and forth?

My heavy socks last forever because I only wear them when I put on my boots, which is maybe twenty days a year. Eventually the moths will get them.

You're kind of buying a sock subscription at that point.
