    Nah, maybe how it once was and now I only wear Darn Tough socks.

    You’re wearing a $20-$30 pair of socks to mow the lawn or change the oil in a car? I’d be worried about messing those nice socks up.

      I have about 25 pair, unsure exactly. I’ve paid an average $14 per pair and it’s 100% worth it.

      And yes, I wear a fresh pair for work or daily engagement and then they get set aside and used when I’m working around the house for a day or two.

      The wool blend makes them never stink, it’s pretty amazing. I bought the majority in 2016 or so from a now debunked website called MassDrop. They’d buy stuff in bulk for discounts then resell them at great prices. I just checked my old emails and paid two pair for $28 and three for $41. Later I bought a few more from GoBros.com for at least 25% off. Checking my emails I got most of them from MassDrop though.

      Here’s the thing, DT doesn’t care how much you paid or how you got them, they credit the full value upon return and then you shop direct from their website for value credited. When I first started I’d used the rertuns like sock club, I’d send my thick winter ones back in the spring and get thinner summer ones. I’d do the reverse in the fall. My first few years I was swapping out socks twice a year. Now I have enough I wait until the ankle is loose on a few pairs then return in bulk to replace, every 3 years or so.

      You don’t need any excuse or reason to do a return that they need. You don’t need a receipt.

      That’s the best part, because they’re warrantied you can abuse tf out of them.
