Darn Tough Vermont Boy's Benjamin Rugby Boot Cushion

I have two little boys and they wear wool socks exclusively from the first chill of fall through the damp spring weather. One of my kids even insists on wearing his wool socks all summer, although the other one goes for shorter, less itchy cotton-blend sport socks when the weather is warm.I have tried at least half a dozen big name brands for kids' wool socks. Most of our socks are SmartWool, which work fine for my gentler kid, but get worn completely through to holes in less than one season for my other child. I don't know WHAT he does to his socks, but he gets holes in them really quickly. Almost one year after purchase, his Darn Tough socks are still in very good condition. (We got the blue/orange color scheme.) You can tell they have been washed and worn, mostly because the top ribbing rolls a bit over time, but they do not have holes or visible wear.I really love to get sale prices on high end products, which is how I always bought our SmartWool socks, but these are worth paying full price for since they actually last several times longer than every other brand we've tried.For my child with gentler habits, I can happily buy any cute style of SmartWool, Lorpen, Icebreaker, etc... but I will stick to Darn Tough for everyday socks for my more rough-and-tumble kid.*** UPDATE ***Amazon tells me I bought these for my son in March 2012. It is November 2014, and I'm here to order the next size up for his growing feet. Not one of his Darn Tough socks has developed holes. He's lost one, but they have not worn out. Yup, these are expensive, but they are WORTH IT.

So far so tough, my boy usually has holes in socks within a week and I have had these for a few weeks. I know when I buy Bridgedales they last for years on myself and these appear to be similar in construction. The only confusion is on the picture for the add I want to know what is with the (3 count) on the upper right hand of the picture. I guess I thought that meant 3 pairs of socks. there is only one pair.

Nice, comfy, thick socks. I ordered the wrong size for my rugby playing son, but found an enthusiastic player to give them to. The colors match the rugby club they play for: Chuckanut Bay rugby club.

very comfy socks, my 9 YO son is a big fan! can't wait to see how they hold up.

got these socks for my kids. they look and fit great. will buy more before the summer so they have enough pairs to go hiking

kids love them. indestructable, cushy, warm. great colors. That's all my kids will wear this winter. I bought some for myself too!

love my vermont socks, they are amazing, would buy them over and over--in fact we do! darn toughs for everyone this winter

I'm a size 6 1/2 foot woman's -- and these fit great -- super comfy and love the cushion.
