Named after a 70’s punk band that travelled and performed at lean-tos along the Appalachian Trail, the Van Grizzle is seasoned for sure. Actually, we just made that up… but what’s pure fact is that these knits are grizzly by nature. Tough, too. Moose, bears, even trout—the van grizzles on.

  • Men's boot socks average 28 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 13 cm 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.
  • Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.
  • 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

A UK casual walker

"Very warm and comfy, I am someone who used to have to wear two layers of socks to keep my feet warm, but do not need to with these. They remind me of heat holder socks, but far more durable, I am two weeks into my purchase, but hoping this stands up. Only negative is I find the socks smell from perspiration more than other socks I have worn, but guess that is part of the warm experience."

— Mark W. (4/5)

Replacement pair

"Only hiking socks I'll buy ( and i have quite a few pairs ), these were a replacement pair for some that had served their time well. Hassle free replacement. You have genuinely got a customer for life."
