I think so.. faded in appearance that I love. But some of it is just the lighting.
Ugh. I sold my pair back in the day because I’m an idiot.

If anyone has a size 10 natural chromepak laying around that isn’t getting worn, let me know!

I looked at a pair for the longest time and now every time I see them posted I kick myself for not pulling the trigger.

Are these Chup socks? I know they have a great reputation and they look BOMB but I can't get over the choice in material. Why use cotton instead of wool when wool is a significantly better material for socks? Moisture wicking, anti-odor, doesn't make your feet cold if you sweat. Can anyone give first hand experience with cotton Chup socks versus something like say a Darn Tough sock?

Maybe this is the wrong place... If so, I apologize.

lol in the short time you've joined this thread there are a lot of questions from you ;p.. that being said they do collab and make wool versions of the Chup sock... Not sure why the cotton is their bread and butter.. I own both versions but don't particularly think one is significantly warmer or moisture wicking than the other.

A lot of it is preference. I like cotton, it's a lot more comfortable. Only time I am going to rock a wool sock is while hiking. And I have never cared for Darn Tough socks, have never understood their hype. And aesthetically, between the two - not even a contest. But to each their own.

I've worn work boots under heavy conditions pretty much 365 days a year for over 50 years. I find wool to be the far superior material. Just my opinion.
