I would recommend buying some higher quality socks, I have started ordering Darn tough and they are holding up well, I hit 10K steps everyday and not a single one has had any indication of anything like this happening yet. meanwhile I would have gone through a few set of cheap socks.

[–] golden_calf@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I have almost exclusively darn tough socks now and have for over 15 years at this point. I do eventually get worn areas in them but I never let them get anywhere near this bad. A small section of padding worn out is enough for DT to replace them for me. My main hobby is backpacking though so they get used hard and often. I would guess they last somewhere around 500 miles per pair for the micro crews. The business socks are also nice but wear out faster.

+1 for Darn Tough. I go through a lot of socks but my two pairs of Darn Tough socks are still going strong, despite one of them having a hole melted through it by?? a spark from a campfire?? I thought it would be the end for that one but it's barely noticed.

[–] SharpieThunderflare@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

And when they finally do wear out, send them in for a brand new pair!

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do they sell noshows? It seems every luxe sock brand only sells boot socks

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

i do have short socks from them ,below ankle not sure if that qualifies as noshow

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Another couple good brands would be Smartwool and Fox River

Gotta love manual labour. One of the things you don’t realise until you do it is just how much you end up spending on socks - this shit is incredibly hard on your feet and what you wear on them.

[–] nlghtcrawIer@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Get "darn toughs" - expensive but warrenty for life.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I spent slightly more than I usually do for some copper threaded compression socks.

I don't give a damn about the pseudoscience bull about copper relieving pain; but I figured it's stronger than cotton and it hasn't let me down in the wear and tear department.

[–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try Darn Tough socks, they have a lifetime guarantee.

If your socks ever wear out you can send them back and they will replace them for free, no receipt or anything else needed.

The extra initial cost has been worth it for me

[–] Telcontar@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

100% worth it. I got my first pair 3 years ago and only just wore a hole in them. Gonna send them in for my new pair soon.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

Nice humblebrag. "I still have a layer of material on my socks!" Asshole.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Once you're a grown up socks and undies are a great present.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As someone very particular about my undies and to a lesser degree socks, I disagree. Not all boxer briefs are created equal.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed but thats how you get to your "warning pairs" like if I'm forged to wear those I better get some laundry on before Im going Commando.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Lmao that is too true, that's why I have these bullshit hanes and the only time I wear em.

[–] alienanimals@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck fast fashion that requires you to buy low quality socks from sweat shops every year. Buy high quality socks! Everyone wins.

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Sorry, but I don't get my salary yearly. Plus, even if I did, my budget doesn't allow that... I haven't bought new foot wear in over 5 years.

[–] Norodix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Its frozone

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

I'd keep wearing those socks for two more years

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Stop wearing socks on the hardwood floor, that helps reduce wear and tear.
