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 these socks!!

"As always I love my Darn Tough Socks! They’re so comfy and so very warm in this rainy and windy weather we’ve been having. I bought both pairs because I couldn’t decide which color I wanted and I’m glad I did! I will wear these socks a lot!!"

— Patricia N. (5/5)

Best for walking

"So comfortable and fantastic quality. This is my third pair now!"

— Sandra P. (5/5)

I enjoy the heavier socks,

"I enjoy the heavier socks, often labeled "Hiking. " I am a cyclist enthusiast, so I depend on a good, quality, warm sock for my winter rides. Darn Tough provides these features and more."

— Terry C. (5/5)

These socks were a gift

"These socks were a gift for a friend. So, while I have not worn the socks myself, my friend was absolutely over the moon over them! On my end, there was a mistake with the order originally, however, the customer service was incredible, and that alone will keep me coming back. They responded quickly, kindly, and couldn't of made it any easier for us to get the right product. Thank you Darn Tough!!"

— Jamie B. (5/5)

I haven't worn these yet

"I haven't worn these yet (saving for a hiking trip in the fall) but checked out the quality once they arrived. Beautiful colors. . . I bought the green vs. yellow and may have to buy the yellow as well. Very well sewn and thick, perfect for a walk up a mountain trail. They are a bit on the pricey side but with a lifetime guarantee, how can you lose?"

— Deborah S. (5/5)

first time buyer with Darn

"first time buyer with Darn Tough, and I will definitely be returning. There was a mistake in the order at first, but I got the quickest customer service, nothing needed on my end to correct the mistake. These socks are fantastic! Super soft and comfy, but can tell that they will hold up to the cold temperatures while working on our farm. Love the colors too! The company was recommended to me by a friend who used to make/sell her own wool socks, and they have not disappointed!"

— Jamie B. (5/5)

Not Yet Arrived

"They were shipped promptly from Netherlands but not yet here via Royal Mail. I expect they will be brilliant when they do arrive!"

— Stuart D. (1/5)

Comfy and supportive walking sock

"Not sure how but these socks feel much more substantial than many of my other walking socks - supportive and very comfortable. So I’ve just bought some more!"

— Caroline K. (5/5)

Hiking soft cushions

"These socks are the bomb for winter softness and comfort. I hike all day for my job in the PNW and wear Chaulk boots. These socks make me feel like I’m wearing soft slippers in the woods! My feet don’t sweat and are so happy at the end of a long day."

— Julie T. (5/5)

The best socks

"Never buy anything else for last 10 years and would've bought them sooner if I found them. Thank you"

— Lyn C. (5/5)

Q&A

If I’m in between sizes (sometimes a 7 and sometimes a 7.5 in shoes) should I order the small or medium size sock?
Hi Jess! Some customers who fall on the upper end of a size run do choose to size up due to the snug, performance fit of our socks. We know it can be tricky to shop for socks online so we got you covered with free return shipping for exchanges or returns for 90 days on all orders placed on our website, just in case!
What's the difference between the Women's Gatewood Boot Midweight Hiking Sock and the Women's hiker boot midweight full cushion hiking sock?
Hi Marie! The biggest difference between these two styles is the added design on the Gatewood. Both options will be similar otherwise, knit with midweight yarn, boot height, and feature Full Cushion added throughout the sock. The Hiker Boot style is also available in our Cushion profile, which will vary slightly.
