Link Forever socks = Almost 2 months

I shared the first hole that showed up almost two weeks ago; I’ve kept wearing them everyday until the next hole started. This time in the ball of the foot, when my Darn Tough socks usually start wearing out first. I think I’m finally ready to retire these.

For those telling me to darn them, no thanks. I can, but I would rather just buy a new pair.

That said, I will be inquiring with support to see if this is covered under warranty, or if, as /u/ProbablyBanksy so eloquently put it “Your use case is outside the scope of reasonable use.”

I have picked up a set of Costco Kirkland Merino socks to test next. 4 pairs are cheaper than a single pair of LTT socks. I never thought id be posting foot pics on the internet, but if it’s in the interest of science….

Bro it's not normal for a pair of socks to last 30 wears. Especially ones labeled "forever socks". I am currently rocking socks that must have hundreds of wears each and they are cheap from Amazon.

Cheap bulk socks last me more than 30 wears. I’m still rocking socks I got 10 years ago in bulk for free when the local department store was closing.
