Standard Issue Crew Light Cushion Socks, Black by Darn Tough
The Buy Me Once Verdict
What are the Standard Issue Crews?
These everyday looking socks feature the same technical features as Darn Tough's range of walking, trekking and biking socks, but with a design that will slip under the radar and blend in with everyday life. They're supremely comfortable, will wick away sweat in warmer conditions and feature Darn Tough's unrivalled lifetime guarantee. I have been using these socks for a while now and I have to say that they are the best sock brand I have ever used in over 30 years.
Every sock is made with an incredibly high loop stitch count which produces more cushioned loops per square inch than any other sock. Not only does this provide supreme cushioning, but because the loops are so densely packed they cannot flatten and shear underuse. This is how Darn Tough has managed to offer a lifetime guarantee on every sock which states:
“If our socks are not the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you have ever owned, return them for another pair, or your money back. No strings. No conditions. For life.”
What are they made of?
These sublime socks are made from a mixture of 46% Merino wool, 49% Nylon and 5% Lycra. The fine gauge knitting makes this sock a true workhorse that is supremely comfortable, breathable and fast drying. Merino wool has a natural ability to repel bacteria, so you can wear these socks for days before you need to wash them. This all-weather sock stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

And once they do wear out, these socks are covered by an incredible no-quibble lifetime guarantee. Send them back and you’ll get a new pair, completely free.
