Darn Tough Over-the-Calf Lightweight
(2 reviews)
Featured review
by LoneStranger
Darn Tough intended these lightweight, over the calf socks for snow sports as a thin sock inside tight, form fitting boots. The merino wool blended with synthetic fibers to increase elasticity and wear made them a great liner sock with excellent moisture wicking properties.
Reasons to Buy
- Darn Tough makes good socks
- Very close fit
- Good wicking for a thin sock
- Elasticity is very durable
- Comes in pretty patterns
- Vermont made
- DT Guarantee
Reasons to Avoid
- No cushion bottom
- Material stiffens when soiled
Darn Tough makes a wide variety of socks and most folks seem to like the ones they try. My personal previous experience with their socks was limited to a single pair that I didn't especially care for and I didn't bother to get replaced when they got a hole despite the famous guarantee. They still look too small without my feet in them. When looking for over-the-calf socks to wear with the Amundsen Peak Knickerbockers I came across these and the pretty mountains on them caught my eye. I grabbed a couple of pair last April and used them as my primary liner socks for the rest of the year.

Custom Woolen Mills Extra Thick 100% Wool Ankle Socks

by Paula Johanson
These wool socks are terrifically warm and cushion-y inside rubber boots or winter boots. They're like a favourite sweater made for your feet! Highly recommended for camping or snow sports of any kind. Farmers and construction workers love these socks.
Reasons to Buy
- 100% wool = warm even when wet
- Tough springy knit lasts better than cheap socks
- Wool stinks less than man-made fibres when sweaty
Reasons to Avoid
- Some people are allergic to wool
- $20 a pair is not cheap
These are the best warm winter socks I have found. I give them as gifts and they are welcomed by my spouse, son, and construction workers and farmers living on the Canadian prairies, where winters routinely reach -30° and -40° (same in Celsius and Farenheit degrees). Custom Woolen Mills makes them. Check them out at http://www.customwoolenmills.com/wool_shop/prairie_wool_socks/extra_thick_socks. While it's fun to wander around their website learning about wool, I'll sum the important stuff up here for you.
