Darn Tough. American made (Vermont) and lifetime warranty. Scent inhibiting moisture wicking merino wool. Best sock made bar none

Ask around maybe someone near you knits, and they can make you a pair with sheep wool.

Im really liking danner merino socks right now. Probably because i got them for $5 a pair while i was in the Portland outlet store. I really like them and have worn them everyday since sept 15th. I also have 3 pair of smartwool socks that are 8-9 years old that are also great socks

Bridgedale socks, hands down. I've tried Fits, Darn Tough, Wigwam, Smart Wool and none of them have been as durable as the Bridgedales. Darn Toughs are second but they inevitably show wear at the heel like all the others. I'm not sure what it is about the Bridgedales but they just won't die even though I treat them horribly.

Another vote for Smartwool. Costco sells some that ate very good for a lot less money. Look for Merino wool.

If you want to know how long Thorlos last, you'll probably have to ask my heirs. I've been unable to wear them out, but it's not for lack of trying:

I have a bunch of smart wool and love them and I am tough on socks/boots.
my brother and his son bought some lama wool socks and had them on our elk hunt this year. It was a little comical when one accused the other of stealing his coveted "lama wool" socks. Going to have to try a pair but the pricing of any of these is not for the faint of heart.

Used to be a smart wool sock fan till I discovered the omni wool that SAMs sells. They are about $12 for 3 or and I think last much longer than smart wool. Last week I purchased the Kirkland brand sold at Costco $13 for 3 they seem nice so far.  Either way they'll last for years.
