If you redesign one of the most popular socks in the line you better come correct.

  • 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.
  • Lightweight socks breathe naturally and deliver flexible, all-day comfort for summer hiking.
  • 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.

Reviews

Love Darn Tough

"Love my new socks! They make my feet happy. Fit great and are just the right thickness. Not too thick not too thin. They also look great. My new socks were replacements for my 3 pair of 5-year-old Darn Tough socks. I was not sure how the warranty would work but found it very easy and quick. They took my old socks and gave me full credit which I then could use to purchase new ones at their website. No questions asked."

— Heidi G. (5/5)

Excellent socks

"I’m new to these socks. First impressions are positive, they are well made and very comfortable to wear. Time will tell if they are durable and worth the price point."

— Colin A. (4/5)

Happy

"Great socks, not cheap but certainly live up to the claims"

— Ian W. (5/5)

The very best lightweight walking socks.

"Without doubt these are the best lightweight hiking socks I have ever worn. They manage to be both lightweight and exceptionally well padded. They fit close but do not feel tight, and they are very comfortable and strong. Highly recommended. Thanks DarnTough."

— Russ V. (5/5)

Love them, but they have gotten pilly.

"Love these socks. Perfect weight and warmth. My only concern is the piling after they have been washed. I have washed them and air dried them on a drying rack, yet they are very pilly. When wearing them, without shoes, around the house they pick up dog hair from the carpet and look awful. Still love the socks and always choose them over others in the drawer!"

— Barbara K. (5/5)

Great socks

"I really love all my different styles of Darn Tough socks. I am slowly swapping out all my other socks work and casual for DT socks. Try them you’ll be glad you did."

— Andy P. (5/5)

Happy feet

"They were just what I need for 3/4 of the year. . . the perfect match is lighter non cushioned crews for the summer. The hight, fit and comfort are great"

— Michael D. (5/5)

"Nice socks not sure about the price. Only time will tell?"

— A (5/5)

Another great pair, comfy all

"Another great pair, comfy all day long. Perfect weight for days on the trail, they have been added to my "I need to wash these ASAP so I can put them on again tomorrow"."

— Rick W. (5/5)

Best hiking socks

"These are one of my favorite lightweight, hiking socks. The best decision here would be to grab two or three pairs of when you’re out hiking or backpacking you can swap them around. They’re super durable and very worth it."

— Neal B. (5/5)
