We got on this topic at work, and I told them I buy Danner socks at 15 dollars a pair. I told them can't put a price on socks and boots. They told me I was crazy. Crazy maybe but my feet sure feel good.

I buy the 6-paks of generics at Costco, and throw them away often.

I thought Hillary had Socks put down when she moved to her carpetbagger house in NY?

Same here, except I buy 'em at Meijer. Come to think of it I'm about due for some new ones.

If you're in/near Portland, you can get them cheaper at the Danner factory store.  All the socks I've bought in the last few years have been either Danner or Smartwool - completely worth the extra money over cheapies, IMO.

I never had that problem.



Where are they wearing out?  Toenails rubbing through?  Or is it just because they're less flexible and the toe-box is too small?



(The worst experience I ever had with steel-toed was when I was brushing a horse.  He was getting antsy, and stomping his rear hooves.  Stomped at the very rear of the steel, bent it down so tight I had to get someone else to cut the boot off so I could get my lil toes out.  If he'd have hit a 1/2 inch further back he'd have smashed my footbones to mush.)
