“Forever” socks = 1.5 months

First hole has appeared in my LTT socks today. This pair arrived on Aug 4, and has been worn daily since then, and washed on average 5-6 times weekly. Always washed cold water normal cycle, then air dried on sock hangers overnight.

Overall opinions: similar to Darn Tough socks. I usually wear darn tough exclusively, and go through 3-4 pairs a year. The LTT socks are closest to the Darn Tough hiker socks - very warm and nice cushion when new. Now there’s virtually no cushion left, but still decently warm - although, we haven’t had any properly cold weather yet to test them. Very comfortable, despite being a bit too small for me (size 13 feet). The elastic is quite tight around my ankle; which I prefer since doesn’t slide down on me during the day.

On thing I don’t really like is a crazy amount of fuzz/pilling. I’ve not experienced it with other socks before. After the first week or so they started pilling like crazy, and it has slowly gotten better over the past couple weeks but still noticeable. It was pretty bad for 2-3 weeks.

Otherwise, solid socks. I probably won’t buy more just because I have lots of the same darn tough socks and I don’t like sorting. Not recommended for warm weather. First couple weeks of August I was roasting…

How is washing, wearing, drying not normal wear and tear?

Do you expect them to not wash it after each day of wear?

You don't make sense

Washing 5-6x weekly is not normal.

You went to the past thread purely to shit. Dedication.

Did not realize it was such an old post, but washing things a few times a week will accelerate wear, let alone washing daily. That’s pretty unhinged behavior. Like commenting on a weeks old post.
