All the features you expect from our Light Hiker collection, but now in 1/4 sock height.

Cushion extending up the Achilles adds targeted comfort and enhances the durability we guarantee for life.

  • Men's 1/4 socks average 14 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 8 cm above a low hiking shoe.
  • 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.

Best Socks

"Have worn these for a few hikes now and have found them to be the best socks I have ever had. Have been using bamboo socks as my every day socks and I'm thinking of replacing them with these socks when they wear out."

— Mike E. (5/5)

So comfortable

"Originally I bought these socks for walking but I am now planning to swap out my whole sock drawer over time. They are so comfortable I asked myself why I was only wearing them for walking? So now I’m not, just buy some, but be warned there is no going back!"

— Jeffrey P. (5/5)

I was a bit disappointed

"I was a bit disappointed in these. I thought they were a bit padded but they felt very thin. I wore them in training for a long walking event. They seemed to wrinkle up under my feet. I did not use them for the event as I was unsure about how comfortable they were. I will try them again and they may settle down."
