I’ve tried many of the different “higher end” socks such as darn tough, and each has their own benefits. Darn tough has the bifl thing which is awesome but as another commenter said, their feet feel clammy and I can agree with that at times. I’ve personally found smart wool to be the most comfortable. They have a looser knit which just feels great. Fits has graduated compression and my feet feel great after a long day of wearing them. I almost don’t want to take them off. Wigwam is probably the cushiest for the lowest price but my feet get really warm so I pretty much only wear them for snow days and shoveling. Fox river socks have a great balance of durability and comfort. More comfortable than the darn tough but more durable than the smart wool. Little bit more than wigwam but five to ten dollars less than smart wool fits and darn tough. TLDR smart wool most comfy Darn tough bifl Wigwam cushy and cheap Fits compression and very nice Fox river best balance of all factors
