Are danish endurance socks good?
Are other brands socks like first spear or other tactical brands overpriced?

I have 3 pairs of Danish endurance socks and they served me good and they're pretty cheap compared to others

i walked 200 miles in those danish endurance off amazon, theyre good socks and i had no issues

however i will warn you that the green they use to dye the sock comes off and stains your feet blue, so wash them when they first arrive before you start wearing them otherwise you will turn into a smurf.

K thanks, I already washed them bc I used them but no stain, does the washer ruin them?
The felt less soft after I washed them

What about those other brands selling socks, are they charging more just for the brand?

Maybe off topic, but I swear by fox rivers. Never needed to look into other socks because they've never failed me. Durable too, I've put a lot of miles into the original 3 pack that I got and the material is still holding up great. Pretty sure they're synthetic though so look elsewhere if that's something you care about.

Bought a pair of Smartwool socks to try them out about half a year ago. So far, very impressed.
I'll be trying Fox Rivers next to compare.

Like this anon says, I've heard good things about them.

I've worn Darn tough, smartwool, Omni wool, and Kirkland brand. I also just bought the Finnish m05 liner socks and short ankle socks from varusteleka but haven't used them yet.
>Omni wool are the wear around the house ones or I don't want to ruin my nice ones socks, feel kinda rough and pill easily. I do not recommend these for hiking
>Smartwool some of mine have pretty low durability around the balls of the feet but are otherwise excellent ( I've turned the ones that get holes in the bottom into fingerless gloves using the leg part). Darn tough lite/10
>New Kirkland brand ones are actually surprisingly good for the price they are my new budget around the house ones. They are thin to medium thickness and an overall good wool blend sock that you can not give a fuck about. Good for light hiking
>Darn tough are by far the best but also the most expensive and have a design for any use case but I wear them a lot and the only one to get holes in it was the lightest weight sock I bought which feels like a dress sock. With the price you get a lifetime warranty on the sock and only have to pay shipping to get a replacement. I wear these when I need to perform outside or be comfortable in shoes no matter what.

I wear thick high cotton socks from uniqlo and puma for everything. Dont need wool unless you are out for several nights in an unheated tent. Cotton is also better at toughening up your feet for that summer time long distance outing.

For my 1000 mile treks I used the M05 + darn tough combo. Didnt have a blister in 10 years.

While I agree with you I had a very bad experience with cotton socks about a decade ago working outside in a seasonal job (pretty much almost gave myself trench foot from my feet being wet everyday sweat or field water) and when I switched to wool it went away almost immediately with the same shoes. Since then I've stuck with wool socks all year. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

This is what I was hoping to achieve with the M05. I want to start doing some impressive feats of outdoorsmanship in the near future.

Epic socks I swear by. Learned about them during my service. Never stopped being in love.

Been using this model for 12hr Paramedic shifts after leaving the military. Use them and a spare set during my 3 day outings.
Worn correctly and properly tsken csre of they keep your feet dry and relatively cool. The only downside: They tend to loosen up so prepare for the occasional heel adjustment.
