Well I ended up ordering 3 different pairs.
I ordered 2 pairs of the Darn Tough Merino Wool boot sock with full cushion
Here
I ordered a pair of the Thorlos Level 3 Military Over the calf anti-fatigue socks
Here
And finally a pair of the Covert Threads Black Rock Socks
here
I do like them all & feel they are all high quality, but the Darn Toughs dont offer the Antimicrobial aspect to the sock like the Thorlos & Covert threads do.
I wish the Darn Tough's did offer Anti Microbial in their full cushion boot sock as they are a really quality sock.
The Covert Threads in a Large ran all the way up to my knee (I'm 5'5") and spoke with Pete from there & he said send them back for Mediums which are a few inches shorter. I think this will help keep things a bit cooler year around. To the knee was just a bit much. I'm waiting for the mediums to be shipped back to me but still feel the quality of these socks is very high & they offer the Antimicrobial which was a big "must" in a sock I'm looking for.
The Thorlos' seem a bit thinner on the top part of the foot compared to the Cover Threads, but still really high quality & also have the Antimicrobial aspect to them & they seem to fit pretty well. The top part of the foot might be left thinner to help with ventilation.
I'll be ordering 4 more pairs of each the Thorlos & Covert Threads.
