Flying-saucer-worthy style comes easy in the Close Encounters hiking sock. So do massive peak bids, thanks to the smooth 1x1 ribbed cuff, performance fit, and climate-regulating merino wool for comfortable and dry trekking. We can't guarantee you'll have a supernature experience on the trail, but if you do, feel free to tell bigfoot we're still working on those custom XXXXXL sizes.

Height: Micro Crew

Weight: Midweight

Pairs With: Hiking boots, trail runners, foggy lake monster sightings

Style Number: 5014

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.
Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
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.

Durability symbol overload on a pair of durable hiking socks from darn tough
