Kid Tested & Approved.
My Daughter loves her new socks. She is picky about the feeling of socks on her feet, so finding pairs that she will wear is difficult (she's 12). So far she loves all of the Darn Tough pairs we have purchased from her, and of those the Element Micro Crew Lightweight is her favorite.

Perfect daily & hiking sock!
I'm a recent DT convert, and man did I get obsessed quick. The cushioning on these is so comfortable and natural feeling. I have a pair of Dr. Scholl's insoles that I switch between shoes because I have high arches and prefer thin-soled sneakers, but ever since getting a bunch of DT socks, I've found that I stopped needing those insoles. I run pretty warm, but merino wool must truly be something else, because I really don't notice heat at all when I wear these. These are my everyday sock (them being white also makes me pretty hesitant to take them hiking, haha), but I also have a pair in the brown color and they're perfect for when I go hiking in hotter temperatures.

Element Socks: The Best Do-It-All & Best Fitting Darn Tough Sock
The Element line is the best of the darn tough running socks. I love the lightweight yarn as it is excellent in both warm and cool weather. I also love the style of this micro crew version—the stripes are very stylish. Although, I do wish the Element line of socks had much more color variations like the ultra lightweight run socks and hike socks. The best part of the Element socks (micro crew and other heights) is the roomy toebox. I wish all Darn Tough socks had the same roomy toebox and I hope this feature never changes within the Element lineup.
