The Willoughby hiking sock might be named after Vermont’s most insta-spammable lake, but the real influencers are the sure-footed critters paddling across its buttery-soft, ribbed cuff. Dip into these lightweight Micro Crew height socks, knit with climate-controlling Merino Wool and cozy cushion underfoot, and you’ll be trekking on without fear of the dreaded swamp-foot that can lead to blisters.

Height: Micro Crew

Weight: Lightweight

Pairs With: Hiking boots, hiking shoes, a sense of exploration

Style Number: 5003

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.

Style Number: 5003

Cushion

These micro crew hiking socks feature soft terry loops underfoot and targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles - our most popular cushion style.

Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean.

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.

Tough by name tough by design

"Darn Tough socks are the best I've ever worn for comfort & durability. I've worn socks from leading brands & put holes in them within two weeks and with no lifetime guarantee they end up in the bin. My Darn Tough socks last up to two years and with no quibble they are replaced. I'm loving the new designs too."

Q&A

How long to air dry? 2-4 hours or overnight or 1-2 days?: We recommend machine drying, but if air drying is preferred, it can take 1-2 hours in dry heat outdoors, and 3-6 hours to overnight indoors in a humid environment!
