  • 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

Brilliant socks

"I have purchased these to wear with +fours. S6 you know I am a Gamekeeper from England. Over the years I have purchased Scottish wool long socks to wear with +fours. But then I saw the light to get Dawn Tough socks. I have several pairs of there different styles. Buy these they're brilliant"

— Oliver J. (5/5)

Fantastic quality, but just not a fit.

"These are the socks I’ve wanted since most of the other wool (and silk!) sock makers I relied on have gone for the poorer quality/higher price ratio. Heavy duty socks, a light feel, and so much more wool than plastic! These are the real deal. Unfortunately, they do not fit my calves, even with the larger size. A lot of hikers and farmers have calves like tree trunks, so I won’t take a star off for that—but if you are of the thick legged sort and want something to wear under your Wellies, you may have to order the crew length. I’m saving my pennies to do just that."

— Jennifer P. (5/5)

A Quality Sock for any Occasion

"Own DT socks for work, outdoor activities and lounging...the quality, fit, comfort and warranty is unsurpassed. Slipping mine on after hand washing is a satisfying form of self care. I indulge in my hunting socks year round, they take the edge off my boots and the way they hug my lower 20% is so cozy. Thank you for making the best socks in the world!"

— Scott R. (5/5)

Heavyweight Hunting

"This is the other pair that I bought my hubs and he loves the comfort and quality of these socks. The compression and thickness is just right and feels like a hug. Would definitely recommend!"

— Tonya W. (5/5)

I ADORE THESE SOCKS!

"I am only sorry that I did not find out about this company much sooner in life. I got one pair of socks and I love them so much, I have already decided that these will be the only socks that I buy for the rest of my life. Yeah, they are that good! Thanks so much for making such great socks, Darn Tough!"

— John O. (5/5)

Best socks ever

"These heavy weight over the calf socks are seriously the best. I wear these almost every day of the year winter summer spring and fall. Always breathable never hot feet never smell always warm enough when it’s cold. Best socks ever."

— Zane S. (5/5)

Very happy with them. I

"Very happy with them. I just wish I could find the maroon ones like the first 2 pair I bought."

— Anthony G. (5/5)

Darn Comfortable Socks

"The most comfy socks I own and as warm as toast on a cold day. Thankyou for such good service DTS"

— Mr L. (5/5)

Just Right

"These are the perfect socks for me; the other Darn Toughs are either too thin, too cool temperature wise, or I just don’t like the design. These feel thick, tight, warm, and super comfy. I was wearing Dickies before and these socks feel like an upgrade from them, unlike the other over-calf snowboarding type socks that just don’t feel as good. Love them."

— Arden B. (5/5)

Great for tick prevention

"I love Darn Tough so wanted to try their hunting socks. They a bit longer than my usual hunting socks, so I was skeptical, but they are excellent for tick prevention."

— Stephen H. (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.
