I just bought a new pair of Darn Toughs and both have an “L” inside the cuff. Did I mistakenly get two left socks?

We don’t make asymmetrical socks. That letter represents the size, in this case size large. All of our socks are knit with a size letter or letters inside the cuff.

I bought two different pairs of Darn Tough socks in the same size, but when they arrived one pair was clearly bigger than the other. Did I get sent the wrong size or a mislabeled sock?

Most likely not, especially if one is an Ultra-Lightweight Run sock. And here's why: We knit our socks with a variety of yarns in different weights — from Ultra-Lightweight to Heavyweight — depending on its intended end-use. Our Ultra-Lightweight Run socks, for example, are knit using super thin strands of Merino Wool and extra stretchy Lycra Spandex. The result? The Run sock will look smaller than say a Midweight Hike sock of the same size due to their respective yarn constructions. Sure, it might sound complicated, but slip them on and you'll see they both fit perfectly – the Run sock just offers more stretch and rebound.

If you want to double-check sizes, we knit the size letter (S, M, L, etc.) into the cuff of every sock (except for No Show Hidden and No Show Invisibles, where we knit it on the bottom of the foot). If the size is incorrect or you're still having issues with fit, please contact our customer service team.

My packaging looks different, why is that?

We are rolling out new packaging. There is a chance what you receive might either be mixed or something you've never seen. The socks are no different.

For what it's worth, on the new packaging we increased the size of the size chart (pun?), provided a height chart, and have reorganized how we describe weight and cushion to what we believe is an easier-to-understand system. That was based on customer feedback from phone calls, emails, social DMs, actual mail, and some face-to-face meetings.
