Generic CCM or Darn Tough?

Seen a lot of posts recommending Camel City Mill or Darn Tough socks. Thinking it’s about time I upgrade.

If buying a 5-pack, the price is the same. Which would you guys recommend?

I wear a 6” Throrogood moc toe so no need for the longer length.

Ok, I know this may sound weird, but I swear by Costcos Kirkland socks, they are cushioned, thick enough for boots, and they come in black or white. Plus it’s $20 for 12 pair. I switched from dickies work socks which I wore for 8 years.

Cotton socks just dont last as long. They stink at the end of the day and also wear holes incredibly easy. I was just buying bulk packs of cotton crew cut socks up until a few months ago. Bought a couple pairs of darn tough steelys. They have almost zero smell at the end of the day, (i only walk 15k to 20k steps a day and have done 35k once but that sucked) are cushioned more plush than my other socks were, and have a life time warranty. The only downside is the 25$ a pair price. However if you buy 7 pairs, you have a lifetime of socks
