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.

The Ultimate in Hiking Comfort

"I really like the full cushion of these hiking socks. Love the color. The quality of Darn Tough is unbeatable. I know because I have tried the other brands out there and only wear merino wool socks."

— Angela S. (5/5)

"Fabulous socks!! So cozy and comfortable. Thanks for honoring the lifetime warrantee!"

— Katherine B. (5/5)

Love these for winter activities

"I wear these most when I'm out shoveling, sledding or snowshoeing. They are my cushiest and comfiest socks and I love them! They're also very nice for being cozy in the house on a cold day."

— Alice (5/5)

New stripes, still solid fit.

"After losing a much worn but still tough and comfortable socks, decided to replace with this choice. Full cushion, soft wear, good height at mid calf, smooth on off and fit, no slippage even on long wear days and wet walks. Darn tough has become my only and exclusive sock, a favorite for every day of the week, long wear, consistent fit and no irritation. Only surprise is the cushion is not as plush but slimmer than my original pair."

— Dunia K. (4/5)

More green please

"Love the color and the comfort"

— Carrie C. (5/5)

This is one my favorite

"This is one my favorite Darn Tough socks! Love the stripes, the cushion is perfect for long days on your feet, the height is perfect for boots, and of course the merino is great in all the seasons. It's not too heavy even in the Southeast in summer! I was bummed that my favorite stripe in this style was out of stock but this was a good substitute. I probably wouldn't have picked this style but a friend gifted a pair a bit ago and I've been a fan since."

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.
