I agree with everything you said here. I bought a pair of wigwam socks thinking they were great and hearing good things about them. I was not very happy and after one wash they pilled up like crazy. I have some darn tough and I wear them much more and they hold up way better. I too like smart wool socks.Sorry for the derailment.
I've got about 15-20 pairs of Wigwam. I used to think they were the best also. That changed when I bought SmartWool socks, and also Darn Tough Vermont socks. Both are better than all my Wigwam's.
They are expensive, but worth it. The Darn Tough are actually guaranteed for LIFE. I've already used the guaranty for a pair that are over the calf (when I wear boots I need otc). After a few wears they didn't stay up otc. I exchanged them for a different style. No return shipping charge. No additional charge for the more expensive new pair. No shipping for the new pair.
The ONE PROBLEM with Darn Tough, they are definitely a liberal company. But so are so many others that we all deal with. At least they truly stand behind their claim of 'these are lifetime socks'. Check them out:
