  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no hesitation. Here's to staying comfortable while you wait.

The Hunt for Warmth Is Over

Merino Wool hunting socks are the best decision you can make outside of proper scouting. While they are knit to keep you warm, the way wool regulates with your body temperature, you’ll never be too warm. Even if you're packing your feet into rubber boots, the moisture wicking properties will keep sweat off your feet, and staying dry will keep you warm. And if you're at deer camp for the week, they are naturally odor resistant, so even if your party doesn't notice, you can appreciate the wildlife won't either.

Reviews

Husband’s Only Socks He Wears!!

"My husband is very picky about everything! He either likes something or he doesn’t. Well…. he LOVES these socks and these are the only type of socks that he wears. He has mentioned that the socks are extremely comfortable and I love the guarantee and warranty. Please, the fact that he is very pleased."

— Ronnie H. (5/5)

Great socks, Super comfortable!!! May become my new Favorite!!!

"I love these socks; they may even surpass my beloved T4050’s as my favorites if they hold up well over time. They are super soft. And comfortable!!! The main reason I rated them a 4 rather than a 5 is that at lease 1 sock of the 4 pairs is either shorter than the others or the elastic is weak. This sock(s) doesn’t ‘’t stay up over my calf, whereas all the other socks do."

— Henry B. (4/5)

The cushion compression and durability

"The cushion compression and durability is everything as advertised on these. I’ve bought these socks many times before and will continue buying socks from this company for many years to come!"

— Susan H. (5/5)

These socks are great! The

"These socks are great! The length going up over the calf to the knee is great in the cold weather. The heavyweight keeps your feet, legs, and body warm. Great socks by a great local company."

— Brandt K. (5/5)

Narrow for size XXL

"Bought the XXL (sizes 15–17) as a size 16 — standard width, nothing unusual. The quality and durability are genuinely excellent, but the foot is too narrow. Combine that with relatively low elasticity and the result is a sock that squeezes more than it should, which actually hurts both warmth and comfort. I’ve had the same experience with another Darn Tough XXL lightweight style sock, so this seems to be a brand-wide sizing issue. Oddly, I’ve had socks from other brands rated only up to size 14 fit me with more room and stretch. My suspicion is that their XXL is essentially a standard size that’s just been made longer — not truly wider. If you’re a true size 15–17 and expect the fit to match the label, be aware. Quality is A++; sizing needs work."

— Bryan A. (3/5)

Great winter socks

"Fantastic thick, winter socks with great compression, helpful for POTS. These replaced a 8-year-old version of the same, so these are insanely durable."

— Erin M. (5/5)

Great socks for colder weather.

Firefighter approved

"Great socks!! I own about 10 pairs of these socks and about another 20 pairs of other darn tough socks. As a wildland firefighter spending countless hours in these socks I greatly appreciate the top notch quality of your product. I advise all our new firefighters to buy a pair and let themselves be the judge. Let’s just say they end up buying more!"

— Pedro P. (5/5)

my mountain climbing socks

"I am an early 20s adult male, 5'8", and weighing 165. went on a 6 mile hike up a mountain with the peak temperature reaching 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I chose a medium sock and it fit like a glove without being constricting and it kept my feet warm but not sweaty. the stitching is durable and it form fits to the foot well. I experienced no chaffing and would wear these socks again, and again, and again. I use darn tough socks for hiking, hunting, and everyday work. these socks are a great addition."

— ananias c. (5/5)

Luxury for my feet.

"The fit is great and the socks give a lot of support all round, nice dry feet after walking for over 8 hours in walking shoes. A purchase I know I won’t regret I just need to decide on what pair to buy next."

— Paul M. (5/5)

Q&A

What’s the “new tech” in the OTC heavyweight hunting sock? Also in the pictures there are 2 different color green socks displayed (one with orange, the other has no orange). Which picture is accurate?
The new tech in our Over the Calf hunting socks comes in the nylon reinforcements! We've added more nylon in common wear areas to make the socks tougher than ever. The most up-to-date picture will be the one with the orange mountain top and orange vertical lines on the top of the foot!
I’m interested in the heavyweight over the calf hunting sock. Do you recommend wearing a liner with these or just the sock by itself?
No liners needed. Long ago people used sock liners to compensate for socks that fit poorly, but you won’t find that problem with Darn Tough socks.
I wear 9 1/2 - 10 which sock would fit the best?
Some customers who fall on the upper end of a size run do choose to size up due to the snug, performance fit of our socks.
Heavy tactical over calf v heavy hunter over calf?
The Heavyweight Hunter Over-the-Calf style has cooling vents on the top of the foot for a a little extra breathability, the T4050 (Heavyweight Tactical Over-the-Calf) does not.
A size 9 will fit a size 9 shoe, or should I wear a size 9 inside a size 10 shoe? What do your you and your customers recommend?
Hi Adrian! Our socks are pre-shrunk and true to size. At a Men's size 9, we would recommend going with our Men's size Medium. Check out our sizing chart right here: https://darntough.com/pages/size-chart.
