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

The perfect sock (almost)

"These socks are in my opinion, better than the smart wool equivalent for everything from day to day wear or long multi-day backpacking treks. I would say these are a cool design but the socks with Nessy and Sasquatch are way cooler it’s the same sock just a different graphic design."

— Daniel M. (5/5)

For me, the perfect socks

"For me, the perfect socks are lightweight with cushion year round for everything. I wear no-shows or quarters in the summer, and micro crews the rest of the year. I have 16 pair of the micro crews and I wear each pair for a week before throwing them in the laundry. With all the different color combinations and designs, I love throwing them all into a big pile in my sock drawer, then reaching in blind to grab 2 socks and wearing whatever mismatch is in my hands for the entire week - loads of fun, especially when people notice and comment ;)"

— Scott T. (5/5)

Snug fit

"I have several pairs of Darn tough socks all fit well. This pair is very tight at to top, not sure if they will work for me or not. That being said I still plan on continuing to where my darn tough socks."

— John (4/5)

Best socks in the game

"Comfortable, breathable and awesome colors and patterns. Used these socks for camping hiking Big Sur and Yosemite I wished I had bought more pairs for myself. I did get some for my wife and kids they also love these socks."

— Julian L. (5/5)

Darn Tough tackles the Mississippi!

"Yet another success for the best outdoor socks! Worn six days canoeing 100mi on the Upper Mississippi River through the sand, silt, rocks, and mud. Rinsed out and sun dried and still just as comfortable as the first day. There's a reason I only packed Darn Tough for Scout's Northern Tier High Adventure!"

— Kyle P. (5/5)

I love my new socks!

"These attractive socks are super-comfortable and they keep my feet at the perfect temperature while hiking. They are Darn Tough as well as darn dry and darn good-looking!"

— Don N. (5/5)

Quality you can feel

"Love the fun designs and colors and they are so comfortable. Also love the fact that they last for a long time and they will replace them if they wear out."

— Peter B. (5/5)

Absolutely my favorite socks

"I used to be a simple man. I used to be able to buy socks at walmart. As long as socks fit on my feet, they had a place in my sock drawer. I can't wear any other socks now. I've got several other styles of Darn Tough, and I don't wear anything else. I can't wear anything else. Comfortable and soft, they change socks from the things you put on your feet before your shoes to the best part of getting dressed. These are thinner and lighter, a great hiking sock, but you'll pull them out to lounge around the house in too."

— Steven C. (5/5)

The sunset ridge micro crew

"The sunset ridge micro crew is the perfect fit and height for hiking and is very comfortable. I also wear the as trail running socks."

— Brad C. (5/5)

Unbeatably perfect!

"Huge fan, super comfortable just the right hiking or casual wear, ,won't intentionally wear anything other than then darn tough socks"

— Dale W. (5/5)

Q&A

Does this sock have the same cushioning level and tech as the PCT and CDT lightweight trail socks? Wool, nylon and spandex content look similar. The other two socks appear to have tighter knit around the calves. Would the named trail socks be more durable regarding bushes, rocks and other snags?
Hi Ian, all three of these styles are Lightweight Hiking socks that feature cushion under foot, around the toes, and the heel. The trail socks offer a slightly longer cushion up towards the Achilles.These three styles will offer similar comfort and durability, the main difference being the designs.
