All-Weather Ankle Sock

Whether you’re thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail or running your favorite route, the Darn Tough Hiker 1/4 Sock will give you the comfortable, breathable performance you need—with just the right amount of cushion and stretch. Each pair is made from a blend of merino wool, nylon, and a splash of Lycra, and features a sturdy, seamless construction that prevents slipping, bunching, and blisters. For any adventure, any time of year, cushioning along the bottom of the foot reduces impact, while the ankle height—rising 6.5 inches TThat  the heel—protects against heel rub.

Darn Tough Hiker 1/4 Sock

The Merino Difference

Merino wool keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. Along with offering extra UV protection, it prevents overheating and clamminess by absorbing and releasing vapor. Plus, it’s naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant, so you can stretch an extra day (or two) out of your pair when needed.

Only about 21 days late in seeing this reply (Merry Christmas Day, BTW). I haven't made any conscious decision to boycott or otherwise say adios to Drop, but it has kinda worked out that way I suppose. I'm not positive that I haven't stopped by just to browse since my last post in this thread above, but I don't think I have. As regards requesting a refund, to tell you the truth, I might be a little sketchy trying to put it all back together in my mind, but I'll try. I think they (Drop) got a hold of me privately and offered a refund without my having to ask. I know I ended up with the socks, but I'm not real clear on the details, like why or how. I do remember wanting to try this model because I knew of a site selling them at a very good price ("good" defined as more than $8 bucks per pair less than even the sale prices of most sites) as their every-day price. If I remember this part right, the likely reason I kept the one pair from Drop is that the low-priced alternative was out in my size for the time being, but they assured me they were getting some in within a couple or three weeks, which they did. I had a particular reason for needing a sock like this. I never wore 1/4 socks in my whole life before I got that one pair. They were a tad tighter than I wished they were, but they felt good and worked better than any other socks I had that was for the particular reason previously mentioned. I ended up ordering two pair from the great-daily-price vendor, and when they got here, I found out how that vendor managed to sell them all the time at that price...... They were counterfeit!!! I found that out by sending one of the pair into Darn Tough because of some flaws on them, and they called me back so they could talk me through looking at a couple of things on the counterfeit pair I still had here, plus the pair I'd gotten from Drop (which were not counterfeit) and sho' 'nuff, it was as obvious as obvious can be that they were faked. All in all, it took me like four months to end up with five pairs of non-counterfeit socks and one pair that was counterfeit, 1 ordered from here, 2 fakes ordered from the vendor, only one of which Darn Tough would replace and they kept the fake pair I sent them, so that was up to four pair, and then the vendor had no idea what Darn Tough and I had worked out, so they sent another two pair of what appear to be real, honest to goodness Darn Tough socks plus a $10-off coupon for my next order. All in all, I made out like a bandit, so I hadn't even thought about the troubles I had at first hardly at all until I popped in here tonight and saw your post. So the short answer is, nope, I neither asked for nor accepted the refund that Drop offered me for the original order. At 65 years old, with health issues that would be 10 Xs as complicated as the sock issues to explain, I've decided it has to be something real important and injurious to me and/or my wife before I'll get pissed off anymore. It wouldn't totally surprise me if, when that time comes, Drop was involved somehow, but this little thang wasn't it, so there ya go.
