Do these socks wear out much faster than regular athletic socks because they are so thin?

Actually the socks are more exquisite in comparison with the ordinary ones. However the fabric is sturdy and durable. I have experience of using the items during several months and there is no sign of deterioration

No. I have these socks for over three months. I usually go to the gym 5 to 6 times a week. These socks are the best, so far...

I have a set that I wear each week (meaning that a pair of socks goes through the wash each week and gets used each week). I'm not an extreme runner (I run about three - six miles a week), so I can't speak to how they were with a lot of running, but I bought mine over a year ago and they have held up very well.

I'm sorry but I have never worn wool socks nor gone skiing. This is my first time needing warmer socks. I am in my 60's and have just recently begun having cold feet. I notice that after I wear them in slippers or shoes for several hours, some perspiration seems to accumulate inside the socks and causes my feet to be less warm, although still way better than it would be with regular cotton socks.

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

I think I understand what you mean, and they're probably pretty slippery, I used them only for running--they're made of synthetic fibers so they don't cause friction/blisters while running--but, I don't think these are the socks you want

These socks are on the thicker side of my wool socks. However, they are very comfortable. The thinner wool socks do not appear to last as long, but are more comfortable during warmer weather.

They are somewhat thin. I would guess that they are less than 1/4 " thick (but durable).

These are definitely thinner than Balega. I prefer Balega for long runs (the heel tab is taller and wider, and stays in place better), and these for everyday wear and shorter runs.

The socks don't have legit elastic at the top to keep the sock from sagging because of the sock weight. I can't tell a difference in temps. Don't buy into the hype. Buy some I dickies socks. They fit much better and do the job plus they have built in arch support.

They are quite soft and while a sock keeps them in place, they eventually get deformed and become useless. This is just normal wear. For me they last 6 months or so before replacing with new.

They are very durable. I don't think they will wear out anytime soon. I wear them 3 days a week for any squat type exercise with the exception of cleans. They are very thick. Just becareful the only way I see them riping is from pulling them on if your fingernails dig in. Enjoy they are worth every penny!

Better. I ran a 50k in the socks and my VFFs. I also wear both on runs over half-marathon distances. I found my legs feel much better over the course of a run, and I have no issues when wearing them with VFFs. In fact, I'd say I prefer their texture over regular Injinjis while wearing my VFFs.

I have 4 pair of Darn Tough Socks and I wear them every day of the week which means they get washed and dried in a dryer more than once per week. They come out looking and feeling great. I am getting ready to buy several more pairs so I don't have to wash them so often.

I have not noticed this being an issue with mine. Have you lost weight? Changed sock thickness?

Yes. Very well. They have a plastic pebbled bottom , for grip. They are VERY comfortable. However, they take up more room in the fin than thinner socks. I love them but the fit on my fins is much tighter. I really need bigger fins by 1/2 size now to accommodate these thicker socks. I am toying with the idea of getting bigger fins. These socks are great, regardless, and are holding up well.

These socks do dry very fast. They are fantastic. I wear them with boat shoes for sailing and also for jogging and working out. They are comfortable and always keep my feet dry. Will they dry overnight? Probably, but I guess that depends if you hang them and where you hang them. In a warm, low humidity environment with decent air flow, they should dry overnight.

I bought the size closest to my shoe size men's 15 and they fit perfectly so I say this should work for you as the men's and women's shoe sizes are only off by 1 size in comparison so that should make no difference here. One item of note for you as I am on my feet all day for 8 to 10 hours and these socks wore out fast and had to be replaced by buying another pair plus as one comment was made they are thin which is why they wore out so fast for me.
