Thermoregulation for Any Climate, Any Job

The wrong combination of work sock and work boot does not go unnoticed. We produce socks with a high-density knit that make them virtually indestructible, knit with three simple ingredients of Merino Wool, Nylon, and Lycra®, making them the most versatile socks for all environments. Wool has a natural crimp that creates pockets of insulation, while also venting the moisture it absorbs to leave you feeling dry. You stay warm while avoiding sweaty feet and remain cool through natural venting. Wool is amazing.

Reviews

Pleasant Surprise

"I'm happy with the full cushion. I was concerned that they would end up being too warm for work, but somehow they are more comfortable in a work boot than other socks I've tried. I think it has a lot to do with the moisture management. The fit is nice too--not too tight and not too loose."

— Chris M. (5/5)

They have been a life

"They have been a life saver working in different conditions and heat levels. I am a size 9.5 so the only issue I had was being between sizes, I opted to go with the large and they have since shrunk to a level of comfort."

— Houston H. (5/5)

$30 socks? Worth every penny.

"Best socks I’ve ever wore. Period. You have to just try them on to understand the comfort and quality. I bought them for work and they’re better than every sock I’ve tried, then just took them camping and they were cozy, comfortable and most importantly don’t stink!"

— William W. (5/5)

Best customer service around

"Had a pair for years that finally wore out and through the quick and easy warranty process got my new pair within 10 days of sending the old pair off. The socks lasted and held up for a while even after they finally started to break down. Very comfortable and breathable for construction work in south Mississippi. With customer service this good, each pair truly is an investment!"

— Phillip B. (5/5)

Guaranteed to love this sock

"I have bad feet. And the fit of this sock is like therapy to my feet. Moisture is not an issue. 16 hours on my feet and no sweaty feet. This company really stands behind their guarantee."

— Eric C. (5/5)

Great socks!

"I was slightly skeptical if these would actually deliver in comfort and I could tell a difference when wearing them with steel toes but they more than delivered. They are so comfortable and add just enough cushion to protect your toes. I will say they do add a little bulk to be aware they may not work if you have a super tight toe box."

— Austin T. (5/5)

Best socks for cold missions

"Love wearing these boot socks underneath my waders on cold fishing days. While they’re warm, comfortable and wick sweat with pride, they don’t break the bank and they last a lifetime. I’m a Darn Tough customer for life"

— Ben S. (5/5)

Great Socks

"Very happy we these new socks. Great quality. Very robust and still comfortable. Wear for walks with my dog and wear inside heavy work boots. Would recommend. Thanks!"

— Neil F. (5/5)

Most comfortable work socks ever!

"I absolutely love this make. As a newer customer to Darn Tough, I have purchased 10 different types. From lightweight with no cushion to middleweight full cushion. Both lightweight and middleweight have served me well for my first year, from temperatures that range from 30 degrees to 110 degrees. This version has been absolutely comfortable in my composite toe boots from Spring to Winter. As an arborist that is in the field and in the classroom, every temperature is absolutely comfortable. I absolutely believe in the quality of Darn Tough’s products, and a customer for life."

— Michael W. (5/5)

These are exceptional socks for

"These are exceptional socks for my steel toe shoes/boots. Despite the friction between the socks and steel toe plate, the socks withstood the wear and tear, and holes that normally accompanied lesser quality and reliable socks. The price point be a bit high for most budgets, but if they last a long time and has a lifetime warranty, they are worth the money."

— Newton L. (5/5)

Q&A

So are they good for summer and winter ?
Yes, Merino wool’s natural properties (insulation, moisture wicking, breathability) help the socks adjust to temperature changes. Many customers say they stay comfortable in both heat and cold with this style.
Hiya folks, I was wondering if you're ever going to make a version of the 2006 steely over the calf?? These were the first socks I've ever bought from U guys. The softness is through out the sock. Some of your otc socks just aren't comfortable. Sry. Or do you do custom?? Thanks in advance!! Richard C.
Hi Richard! Thanks for the question! We've reached out to you via email.
Would size 11 wide be considered Large or XLarge?
Hi Laura! Size 11 would be a size Large
Is this price per pair?
Yes🧦
Any scope for when more size large steely socks will be available?
Hey Caleb, thank you for reaching out and we apologize that the socks you're looking for are currently out of stock in your size. We will have more of this style available soon! Please keep an eye out on darntough.com for availability.
