Be prepared to throw everything else away.

Everyone I know who started with a pair or two now owns nothing else.

Darn Tough’s warranty is rad. You don’t need full on holes in socks, I send in socks with weak elastic and they take care of it.
Can attest, I tried a handful of socks before darn tough and I'm now replacing even casual socks. They can really take a beating

I would venture to say you’ve got something else going on causing the wear on the heel. My guess would be improperly fit boots and your heel is moving around a lot causing the wear.

I started wearing darn toughs 2 years ago and it’s all I wear now. Even the first pairs I bought aren’t thinning at all.

I’m sure darn tough would replace them, so I would do that and then look at why you’re wearing them out in the same spot because I doubt it’s the socks. A good insole like superfeet really helps isolate the heel.

Thorlo is good for synthetics. YMMV... I buy standard issue green Forest Service socks at work for like $7 a pair and they last forever for me... turns out they're pretty much standard Thorlo walking socks.

Costco socks are so cheap it's silly not to check them out.
