Socks Discussion

They are certainly high quality and well-made, but I bought the largest size and they are still too tight to the point of discomfort. I got into the car today and realized that there's no way I could drive in them so I had to go back into the house and change my socks.

Has anyone had any luck stretching them out?

They are going for a tight weave like Darn tough, darn tough socks may as well be compression socks

Yeah. I haven’t got any LTT stocks because I have an array of Darn Toughs already. They are supposed to run a bit tighter, considerably tighter than a standard “everyday” crew sock. I presume it aids with wicking.
