I am going g to check these out. Swelling feet and lower legs is a thing for me now. Especially on long drives to a hunt.Lots of love here for Darn Tough, and they seem to check the boxes of durable, stink free, and not bagging out. Can't argue there.
That said, I've gotten all that and more out of my First Lite over the calf compression socks. The added benefit is that over the course of a day my feet don't swell which greatly reduces my chance of blisters and overall foot discomfort. I use those things for everything from farm work, to winter running, to hunting and I'm on year 3 of the first 2 pairs with little discernible wear.
Great idea! I use them for that and long plane rides too. Business trip? 1 pair. 10 days in the back country? 2 pair, one to wear and one drying out.I am going g to check these out. Swelling feet and lower legs is a thing for me now. Especially on long drives to a hunt.

I've really been impressed with my Crispi merino wool socks. Worn them for 8 days straight with no stink and they remained comfortable. I do have pretty tough feet that don't sweat much though.What's your go-to sock on hunts when you'll be going several days without a shower? It sounds like merino is the way to go for sweat/odor protection, but what's your favorite specific brand? I'm kinda fussy about good elastic so they don't fall down. Both my hunting boots and work boots are getting some funk, so I'm ready to try something. Help me save some headaches buying shitty socks!

Darn Tough hikers all day long. And, if you are able to put a hole in them, they have a lifetime guarantee where you send the socks with holes back and they send you a new pair. I have yet to be able to put a hole in any of mine at the sole but have put a few small holes in the upper portion d/t wear and pulling on them.What's your go-to sock on hunts when you'll be going several days without a shower?
