Men's micro crew socks average 21.5 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 15.5 cm above a low hiking shoe or just above a standard hiking boot.
A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort.
Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather.
Lightweight socks breathe naturally and deliver flexible, all-day comfort for summer hiking.
The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Unrivaled Durability

We make one thing, and we make it better than anyone else – ask any thru hiker and you will likely hear the same. In order to unconditionally guarantee a hiking sock for life, it must be durable. It must maintain its comfort, and it has to fit for miles upon miles on-trail. The socks that do return through warranty inform how we can improve. And we do. Our guarantee is a promise to you, but it’s a standard for us. We have yet to produce our best sock, but we get better with every step.

Reviews

Foot hug

"I've been wearing synthetic cycling socks for everything recently. They aren't that great. Darn Tough is like a soft hug for your foot. Wool is serious tech fiber - it regulates temperature really well and doesn't stink like synthetic fibers. I can wear these socks multiple days in a row if necessary and not hate myself for doing so. The sock looks good, feels quality and is backed by a lifetime warranty - why not buy another pair?"

— Drew T. (5/5)

One of the few really

"One of the few really fun colorways/patterns for men. Love this sock. I only wear Darn Tough, so everything that applies to all Darn Tough socks obviously applies here as well - they're the only sock worth having, and when they wear out, you get to choose new ones!"

— Wm E. (5/5)

I love them. There’s a

"I love them. There’s a clear sense, when I’m wearing them, that they’re different. Made better. Sturdier. They’re handsomely designed with enough harmonized color variety to look great with almost anything I wear but not so much that they feel garish when I’m going for a serious look with a little accent to spice things up. They hold their shape, they’re easy to care for. Like I said. I longer then. I wish the dark reinforced toe area was just a little wider. It barely spans all of my toes and sometimes feels a little weird."

— Shannon L. (5/5)

Darn Tough makes the best

"Darn Tough makes the best socks EVER. Worth every penny. They got me through a 10 mile hike to Iceberg Lake in Montana with no problems with my feet afterward. Thanks Darn Tough!"

— Stephen P. (5/5)

The only socks I wear

"They are little darn tough, I haven’t worn through my first pair yet after 3 years and I finally made the switch to exclusively wear these as my everyday sock."

— Colton S. (5/5)

Never Disappointed

"I’ve worn darn tough socks for years. Great quality, great design, and these socks are no exception."

— Richard D. (5/5)

Still to receive them

"I had o chance a pair of sock due to not liking the design. The socks are top quality but the return and exchange process takes way to long. I beleave that if you are in the UK then they come from the Netherlands. My last pair I got from a shop in the Uk and that in my opinion is better way to get them . Great sock but but just to slow to arrive. It would have almost a month to send 1 pair back for an exchange, :("

— Tim P. (2/5)

These are perfect for everyday

"These are perfect for everyday wear, just walking, sitting or, I suppose, even hiking. Wish there was a bigger choice!"

— Larry B. (5/5)

The best socks around!

"these are the most popular socks imsee people use on the pacific crest trail"

— Jesse M. (5/5)

Solid

"Last forever. Dont stink when my feet do. I prefer the thin socks."

— Matthew S. (5/5)

Q&A

Does this sock have the same cushioning level and tech as the PCT and CDT lightweight trail socks? Wool, nylon and spandex content look similar. The other two socks appear to have tighter knit around the calves. Would the named trail socks be more durable regarding bushes, rocks and other snags?: Hi Ian, all three of these styles are Lightweight Hiking socks that feature cushion under foot, around the toes, and the heel. The trail socks offer a slightly longer cushion up towards the Achilles.These three styles will offer similar comfort and durability, the main difference being the designs.
