I wear darn tough socks too. I have about 8 pair but that wasnt always the case. As a full-time truck driver, manually delivering food to commercial restaurants by running up and down a ramp with a loaded two wheeled dolly, I cant think of much else that would test the durability of a sock. I have gone through three pairs and never had a problem with getting a replacement. I've since switched to a data analysis job where as you can imagine, the socks get less stress.
I cant tell you enough how much those socks are worth the cost. They're awesome.
