Never understood the “they last forever argument”….I’m sure they perform really well as wool is a miracle material, especially for colder months but to spend $15 for a pair of socks that last a few years then you have to go through the trouble of warranty seems a bit ridiculous. Just buy cheap socks from name brands like adidas and buy 2 dozen for the same price as 2 pairs of darn toughs and abuse the hell out of them and replace as needed. Since you have so many pairs you only wear the same pair once a month. They last very long when you do this.

You are on the r/buyitforlife forum. You may find less fans of your view.

Some people here may view buying 24 socks and throwing them out/replacing them seems pretty bad for the environment too. And less fiscally responsible too.

Its a literal lifetime supply of pair of socks for $16 though. You cant tell me that wearing shitty, potentially uncomfy socks all the time is better than DT, nor can you tell me that its more cost effective to spend $20 on socks every two years when you can pay $16 per pair one time and never again

My socks I get from Costco, usually puma or adidas are pretty comfortable. I’m not saying they are better than DT by any means. I love wool but $16 for only 1 pair…I have a huge sock drawer for the same price as probably 3 pairs of DT’s and I never have to worry about laundry or running out. Since I have so many they last a very long time. It’s easier and more convenient for me, to do that I’d need to spend hundred of dollars from DT which I personally would rather spend on other products. Just my 2 cents.
