Best socks

[llang2011]

Hi,

I've read quite a few good things about the Darn Tough socks, including this thread, but it appears no suppliers are shipping to Australia anymore or are charging ridiculous prices for it (either over $100 per pair, or around $60 just for shipping). I've checked Socks Addict, Mass Drop, Amazon (US and Australia), ebay, REI, Camp Saver.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions on where to get these in Australia?

Thanks!

Massdrop has them regularly. In fact right now,

Review that may be helpful, this guy is a hardcore trekker who puts about 1000km on sock types to test them. http://www.frankrevelo.com/hiking/gear_footwear.htm

Costco has their woollen trekking socks in good supply and padding. Great price for a pack of 3.

Lifetime guarantee.
Choices - merino or synthetic, no show to crew lengths, light to max cushion, colours & solids...hardwearing.
Available in Oz. Stock is a bit up & down.

Double layered...blister prevention.

Full cushion takes longer to fully dry. Turn it inside out halfway through the drying process.

Choice of Synthetic inner/Synthetic outer or Synthetic inner/Merino outer. As posted above, lots of styles. Aus stocked.

An alternative if don't like a toed liner + outer sock combo like a injinji.

Darn Tough Vermont, preferably the full boot sock - the thickest.
Many socks, lasting many years.
Bushwalking and trail running.

Never cotton! Yuk.

I do use the Darn Tough Coolmax range up here in the subtropics/tropics...just stock availability here in oz leaves a lot to be desired.

They do have a good choice of different heights, colours, cushioning etc etc...and the lifetime guarantee.
They're the pinnacle of long lasting socks...but others brands are catching up & are readily available here in Oz.

It's good to have more choices of durable socks in Oz at long last.

Aussie made...mainly coolmax, choice of heights & weights, small range, fast postage.

I second this. Great socks. Comfortable AND stylish.

The best socks are the ones on your feet in your shoes or boots.

Especially if walking to cradle mountain.

I thought they were optional!
