I just received my order of these socks yesterday, and already I love them.  I had been wearing SmartWool socks so I am familiar with the properties of wool, and how it keeps you warm, even when wet, as in wet, snowy conditions.

Winter is dreary enough, such that when I look down at my feet, I want a "lift" in mood -  I want socks with an "attitude".  And these DarnTough socks, with their vibrant colors, stripes, and designs, certainly have a kicky attitude about them.

They are so pretty, you could put an assortment of them in a shadow box, neatly arranged, and hang them on the wall. The sock designs would provide great composition.

The quality is top notch (I knit, too, so I look at insides of socks to see how well they are made).

Lastly, and very importantly - they are made in AMERICA.  DarnTough ought to get a pair of these to CBS's Diane Sawyer - so she can include them in her next "buying American" piece.

In sum, these are beautiful socks, in every sense of the word.

I recommend them not only for their excellent fit, but their warmth, their uplifting colors, and most of all - their "attitude".

Thanks DarnTough - will be back for more.
