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.
Despite the slightly cheesy name these socks are amazing! What makes the Darn Tough socks so different and so durable is the way they are constructed. This lightweight half padded sock is perfect for walking and approach shoes, trainers or everyday footwear.
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 under use. 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 work horse 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.
How cushioned are they?
The Standard Issue Crews have a light amount of cusioning throughout the sock, with a thin layer of cushioning around the heel and the base of the foot for extra comfort and protection.
What are the features?
The sock has a smooth performance fit to reduce slipping, bunching and blistering and they have a low ankle. Comfort is further enhanced by the True Seamless construction which does away with bulky stitched seams and increases comfort.
