All-Day Merino Wool Comfort

To say we knit with the finest yarns is both a statement of quality and comfort. Merino Wool yarn is indeed a fine yarn – thin, silky, nothing like rag wool. For our more casual socks and dress socks, we knit using our thinnest Merino with a watchful eye over a performance fit. This means our lifestyle socks are sublimely smooth and wrap your foot, truly seamlessly, without bunching or slipping. Add wool’s ability to stay dry, resist odor, and regulate temperature, and you have all-day comfort. At least.

Reviews

Overrated - Disappointed.

"I purchased 2 pairs as I was fed up of getting holes in my socks. Sadly, with one pair holes developed when I first put them on and left deep marks in my legs after wearing them all day. Disappointed. For the price I expected the perfect socks and they were far from it. One pair seemed fine though, but after my experience with the other pair I have my doubts it'll last."

— Ryan W. (2/5)

Sizes run small, but if you move up a size they're worth it

"The size runs small - I'm a 9EE but had to get the XL (11-12) for a comfortable fit. So far they're holding up. I'd love it if the socks had sizes stitched into the toe or the top. Right now I'm having trouble distinguishing the XL socks I bought from the original L I got - until I try to pull them on. The biggest unexpected benefit is that I'm not finding bits of sock between my toes and on my rug anymore. If for no other reason, that's worth the purchase!"

— Andrew C. (4/5)

Too early to tell

"Five years ago I purchased several pairs of the Men's Standard Crew socks. After 5 years, they all wore out and Darn Tough replaced them under warranty. But since then I have started walking more and all the heels have worn out. Darn Tough suggested getting the cushioned socks that are made for hikers. They are only $1 more, so one by one I am replacing them once again. Hopefully, the thicker socks will last longer, but it's still too early to tell."

— Bruce H. (4/5)

Terrible buying experience. Loose threads

"Terrible buying experience. Loose threads on both pairs of the rye color. Support says to take scissors to the threads, but that's just an outrageous suggestion for socks that cost this much. Just an absolute joke."

— Alex C. (1/5)

I wish these style came

"I wish these style came in a shorter style! I like the color and the texture on the sock. Unfortunately, the socks are way too high and tight on my calves, and I will need to rehome them."

— Morgan N. (3/5)

Excellent socks, feel great on

"Excellent socks, feel great on my feet. I was apprehensive on the cushioning ability considering how thin the socks were, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I’m unsure how the socks will hold up over time, but the lifetime warranty is a big confidence booster in that regard. Highly recommend."

— Deneir B. (5/5)

Amazing socks - Ticked all my boxes

"Amazing socks, i suffer with Hyperhidrosis and these excel at temp regulation, which helps massively. The cushioning across the soles are very comfortable and fit is tight enough to stay in place without being "too" tight. Delivery was quick and as described."

— Charlie (5/5)

Good option

"The socks fit good and I like the feel of the material. My feet still get sweaty but I think that’s just me."

— will K. (4/5)

Poorly designed lifestyle fit.

"The lifestyle sock is too tight all over! It fits like an athletic sock, no bunching, or movement, and ready for the wearer to push footwork to the limits. But a lifestyle sock should fit comfortably, with enough room and stretch to feel cozy, and not provide excessive squeezing! Great overall quality, but needs re-engineering to achieve the proper level of comfort for the intended purpose. Had to return the socks… maybe the next version will be a better one."

— Victor S. (2/5)

The Best!

"Every pair of Darn Toughs I've ever bought for many, many years, are absolutely the best! The quality has never once waivered. It's all buy and all I wear."

— Michael S. (5/5)

Q&A

Do these come in a pack of multiple, or it’s $25 for one pair?
Hi Rachel, while we do offer bundles on our website, this listing is for one pair at $25.
looking to match darn tough socks I already wear -- can't find measurements for standard crew lightweight lifestyle or micro crew. The ones I have measure 7" heel to top just lying flat, 8" when wearing.
Hey Fred, you can view our height measurements on this page, below the sizing charts: https://darntough.com/pages/size-chart. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. Darn Tough Vermont Support Team 877-327-6883 support@darntough.com
