Strange fit. Strange feel of material. Strange toe-box with a squared off seam that rubs in an irritating way.
Are these Darn Toughs or a knock-off? I ordered from Shoe Annex and don't know what's going on.

This is the first of many pairs of DTs that I haven't absolutely loved from the very beginning.. Just received these as I slowly replace every dang sock I own with DTs, but these are just... strange. As other's have mentioned, the feel long and odd fitting and the material is rather coarse in comparison to every other single DT pair I have. The worst is a seam that run across the very top edge of the toe, which is also seamed to be squared in a way making that seam even *more* noticeable and strange feeling.

I've only worn them in the living room for an hour and walked around the house but ... I really don't think I'd like these on my feet all day, especially with that seam rubbing against the tops of my toes and my shoes. We'll see....
