Men's micro crew socks average 8.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 6 in. 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.
Light Hiker socks have cushioning underfoot, atop the ankle, and up the Achilles to keep feet comfortable for miles and miles.
We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
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.

Feet wearing durable hiking socks by a fire with a durability hammer symbol overlaid

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.

Overall rating: 4.8742857 / 5 from 1400 reviews.

Reviews

High quality comfortable hikers

"I’m a daily 5 mile per day, 2,000 ft elevation change per day hiker. I can & do shred a new pair of socks on 1 hike. I’ve worn Darn Tough lightweight hiking socks for 2 weeks. Often wearing them for 2 -3 days in a row without washing (which is recommended). They’ve held up perfectly! I was honestly going through a pair of Costco Weather proof socks everyday. Not any more. With a lifetime guarantee, how could you not give these a try?"

— Corey R. (5/5)

Can’t go wrong

"These are my go to socks for summer hiking or everyday wear. I have purchased all different styles of Darn Tough socks and none have failed me. I did lose one in battle to my dog. I have slowly replaced all my socks with Darn Tough socks"

— Kyle F. (5/5)

Worth Every Penny

"Few things these days actually live up to all the hype. Especially considering how rampant botting can be on the internet. However, I have to admit these socks have fully lived up to the hype. I did 16 miles in them out of the package and was impressed. Over the next two days, without any form of washing and barely taking them off I did another 30 miles. By day three I had fallen in love. I came out of that trip with one blister. Get these socks, they will remind you of time when people still cared about quality."

— William B. (5/5)

Men's Light Hiker Micro Crew Lightweight Hiking Socks

"I am a fan of these light hiking (micro crew) socks which I wear at most any occasion. They are comfortable and breathable while looking darn good too. Overall the socks quality is fantastic and I have had only one pair ever develop holes. Those were promptly replaced through the lifetime warranty which was much appreciated. I am happy to support a great company that still manufactures its product in the USA and stands behind its products."

— Danail O. (5/5)

These socks are so comfortable

"These socks are so comfortable and you can wear them for a couple of days. They’re nice and cushioning and made so well. I love the fact that they’re made with wool it breaths well it wicks well, and is antimicrobial!"

— Angelo V. (5/5)

Just a thinner version of the best

"Normally a 1466 guy. But these are just a thinner version. With a slightly higher cushioning in the Achilles tendon area. Ideal for really warm days when I have to be in hot environments and still wear boots."

— Michael W. (5/5)

Excellent socks. I always had

"Excellent socks. I always had problems with sweaty and aching feet with other socks. No issues with this one"

— Shriram B. (5/5)

Wonderful!

"Great feeling, great lasting socks with a warranty you can't beat! I use Darn Tough most everyday for exercise, hiking, wildfire fighting, etc. They are great! I used to absolutely hate socks."

— Dan J. (5/5)

New socks for a trip

"Bought three pairs for a trip to Italy. Could not be happier with these socks. So comfortable with all of the walking during our tours. Wash up nice and dry quickly which was helpful since our Airbnb didn't have a dryer."

— Bradley J. (5/5)

Love Darn Tough

"Love my new socks! They make my feet happy. Fit great and are just the right thickness. Not too thick not too thin. They also look great. My new socks were replacements for my 3 pair of 5-year-old Darn Tough socks. I was not sure how the warranty would work but found it very easy and quick. They took my old socks and gave me full credit which I then could use to purchase new ones at their website. No questions asked."

— Heidi G. (5/5)
