Customer Reviews Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool Micro Crew Socks Cushion

Moderate itch around ankle on initial wearing; ok after first wash.

My favorite socks for hiking! Moisture-wicking wool keeps feet dry, seamless toe doesn't rub uncomfortably, and slight cushion adds comfort on a long hike.

I purchased the navy pair like these. The socks are very comfortable and fit great. I ordered a size 6 and I wear a 6 - 6.5 shoe. They are great in winter boots and keep my feet warm. (They would probably make a regular shoe be too snug.) I also like the navy color. The lower rating is because they have pills all over them after several washings.

I ordered a medium size in these Darn Tough socks because the smalls have been too small. (I wear a size 6 - 6 1/2 shoe. The mediums are huge! I plan to exchange them at the store for a small.

Fit strangely. I wear a 9.5/10 so am in between sizes either too big or small… these had a lot of room left in toe (L) yet were extremely tight around my ankles so as to cut off circulation and I have normal size ankles! Disappointed

I received a different pair of socks from the pair I ordered, so I returned them. I had a $5 reward credit, which I lost in the transaction. Frustrating!

Great sock, however, after washing a few times in cold water and line drying the socks feel like they shrunk. My other Darn Tough socks that are more of a light cushion sock have held up very well and no shrinkage. They are still very comfortable but I usually take them off after a walk/hike because they fit snug now.

I was expecting something more. They are fine but not exceptional.

Okay socks, but not as thick as I expected. Tend to get "eaten" by shoes.

This pair only lasted about four months before getting a hole on top of where the toes are. They were only worn a half dozen times or so. I call it a flaw in the material and hope that is all it is as expensive as they are.

I love Darn Tough socks; these, however, are too small. I wear a 9.5 shoe and these were too short in length.

I thought that these socks were going to be the same as previous pairs of Darn Tough I had purchased but they are not as thick and the cuff is shorter so I am disappointed.

I love Darn Tough socks. The material is always comfortable and durable. I was a little disappointed by these socks, however. They barely fit my feet and are too tight around my calves and ankles. They're good for running some errands in the cold but not for a full day of outdoor activities. The gray/teal/green color combo is great though! Size ordered: M (only size available for this product), LLBean defined M as women's shoe size 7.5-9.5 My usual shoe size: 9.5 (The website is requiring I select an "item" but the fields next to the checkboxes are blank. I hope this review shows up with the correct product.)

I have such thin legs that my nickname was toothpick! I ordered a size large and have to return these because they are unbearably tight on my foot and legs. They are very well made and I sure wish they fit correctly.

Soft yet sturdy socks in nice colors. My disappointment is they seem a bit short. And they slip down a bit which accentuates the shortness. I compared to another very similar style sock I purchased recently and these are about 1/2 inch shorter. I don't have thin legs, actually probably a bit thicker in ankle and calf than most so am surprised at slipping. Haven't worn long enough to comment on durability.

item description says machine wash and dry, but i washed in cold water and dried at low and they shrank.

Purchased two pairs...went home and tried on and realized inside sock around toe area not finished well which irritates my toes. For the price I'm kind of surprised at the poor workmanship of these socks.

The band is too tight. Leaves a huge mark on my leg. (And I have thin legs.)

Not the right size. Said they were small but nope

Too tight socks. They are cute but uncomfortable. I wouldn't buy them again. Tried giving them to my daughter but she can't wear them either.

These were too big. I have these in the light hiker light cushion and they fit perfectly. I washed and dried them hoping they would shrink but still too big.

The other reviews called this a thin sock. It's not. It's a fairly stout and thick sock, which makes my shoes feel too tight. So, I'm sending them back, and looking for a thinner wool sock.

I was very disappointed with these socks. Not well made, started to unravel after one wash. I work outside and need high quality socks. These are awful.

Wish they were cotton instead of wool.
