Darn Tuffs are great. I also like my carhartt wool socks and Lorpens.

Smartwool and darn tough are the only socks I own now, from everyday office wear to running on the treadmill to 12 mile backpacking days. They make all different weights and activities. And with a little research on the web, you can typically get them around the 10-15 dollar mark.

Another dArn tuff user here. When it's cold or I am using rubber boots I will also usually have thicker boot socks as well, lorpen or smart wool have been good to me. Good socks are arguably just as, if not more, important than the boots imo.

I have some realtree wool socks that I like more than my other socks.  I think they were about $8 for the pair.  I thought that was bad, then read about other $ock$.

Darn tough or smart wool. I would also suggest a good sock liner.

Darn Tough. For the last two years I have used my one pair of dt's for every hunting, hiking, scouting trip. They hold up worth the investment.

Ive tried several high end socks Darn tough and Lorpen have been by far the best socks I have ever used for longevity. I bought some smart wool socks this year before my elk hunt and by the time it was over there was noticeable wear. I doubt they will last beyond next season. I have some Darn toughs that are 4 years old along with Lorpens that have barely any wear

I use liner socks and then merino socks over those. I haven’t gone brand specific yet. Just using the liners and merino have helped my feet.
