I've got a few pairs of wool socks from pre-veganism, but they're all wearing down and approaching their end of life. I need warm, durable socks that can approach wool's comfort and utility. What do you suggest?

I don’t think this fits the vegan category, but I think it fits the sustainable category. I found out about Darn Tough socks from Reddit while searching for wool socks.
They have a lifetime warranty where if you get holes in your sock, they’ll replace them for free and fix up your worn up socks for other purposes. I suppose one can justify it as “the more durable, the less I buy, and the less socks in circulation, the less exploitation.” Though as I’m writing this I’m realizing it’s the vegan comm and not the general questions comm
I've seen them listed as vegan socks so I think you're good. I won't ban you.
Edit: they have both wool and non-wool socks
In that case I recommend them. I’m not a sock aficionado so I can’t speak for other companies, but their replacement policies sold me. My socks tend to last about 1-2 years before getting fucked up, but I would buy generic socks and never paid attention to the material.
