    This thread cost me $40 on my way home for work (Warehouse/Alpsocks/Nato). Want to see what I've been missing out on. I'll add it to the thousands this forum has cost me over the years.

    Nah Just take them back and they get swapped out. My wife uses them for ultra running, probably swapped out one pair 3 or 4 times.

    Most of icebreaker is made in Asia from what I'm told. Interesting if they're now made in US. Do you have a source?

    Comfort socks – merino - soft and hard wearing
    I have been using these for about seven years and wear them for all my trapping work – they get about 10 hours walking each week
    Bivouac list them – I will get another pair next week
