I have mixed feelings about buying something I had no idea I needed until this discussion came up, but now that I've done some more research and signed up for an REI credit card to get the $100 gift card, I don't feel too bad about buying luxury socks. However, I have one question that I haven't been able to figure out. Are all styles of darn tough socks equally great?
They have everything from no show, ultra light athletics to high top, cushioned hiking socks. I'm looking at starting with the ultra light, no show or the ultra light cushion, no show (not even sure there's a difference). Does anyone have specific advice on these styles? Or specific advice on any of the other styles?
