All-Day Merino Wool Comfort

To say we knit with the finest yarns is both a statement of quality and comfort. Merino Wool yarn is indeed a fine yarn – thin, silky, nothing like rag wool. For our more casual socks and dress socks, we knit using our thinnest Merino with a watchful eye over a performance fit. This means our lifestyle socks are sublimely smooth and wrap your foot, truly seamlessly, without bunching or slipping. Add wool’s ability to stay dry, resist odor, and regulate temperature, and you have all-day comfort. At least.

Reviews

Best socks I’ve ever owned

"Best socks I’ve ever owned - a recent travel situation limited me to a single pair over a three day span. My feet remained dry throughout and are still odor free at the end of the “adventure” - couldn’t recommend them more"

— Josh S. (5/5)

To much compression

"I have no complaints about the quality. The issue I have is the sock is worst than a compression sock. The compression on the calf’s is way to much. It’s so much I get indents in my calf. Never had a sock that did this dress or athletic. I’m thinking about returning than and will keep you posted how the return process goes"

— joseph k. (2/5)

Best socks ever hands down.

"The socks are INCREDIBLY lightweight, and keep your feet warm. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t believe it, but your feet don’t get sweaty after a full day as I thought it would with wool. If anything makes it even better! High quality fabric that helps to regulate temperature throughout ALL day. I went to work, went straight to the gym, and almost forgot I had them on. Best purchase ever."

— Keith C. (5/5)

I love the standard cushioned

"I love the standard cushioned crew socks! Have 3 pair and want more. I personally think they run a little small so I upped to XL. I can't imagine what a lifetime guarantee means. All socks get holes eventually. They're not inexpensive, but they are of Darn Good quality. I'll have to try out some different colors than navy blue, but if you have to wear just one pair of socks in life, this is probably the one."

— David C. (5/5)

Keep them coming. . .

"These socks are great - they're comfy with an appropriate amount of cushion, quite snug construction but that helps with the "new sock" feeling that usually disappears after the first wear and wash. The Merino is always a winner for socks, and these have become my go to - so good I ordered extra pairs to replace the rest of my sock drawer."

— Richard D. (5/5)

Comfy and don't stink!

"If you have foot odor problems, you need to try Darn Tough Merino socks. They manage sweat really well, but they're also naturally anti microbial which means when your feet sweat, they won't stink half as bad as usual. They're super soft and comfortable and will last you a very long time. I've switched all my socks to only darn tough socks and occasionally try different variations. This pair is a great addition."

— Cooper R. (5/5)

Too Narrow and Shrinks

"These and other DTS are too narrow at the upper sock. They are too tight and restrict blood flow. I have tried several DTS types and I continue to have the same issues. I have over 20 pairs of these and can't wear these latest ones. FYI - I do not have thick calves and they are still very tight and will likely, if they are like all the others I've had, will become even smaller with time. Plus, DTS seem to shrink considerably more that other brands."

— Victor S. (2/5)

Treat your feet to some upgraded socks

"These are a pleasant length, with good comfort, and not excessively warm. In person, the color is certainly darker but comparing it to black it's still certainly a dark charcoal. My first pair came partially damage so I was sent another, free one. The socks are good, the company is good, I can't complain."

— Jonathan W. (5/5)

Disappointed: small, tight, and yellowed

"Disappointed. My friends raved about Darn Tough socks, so I thought I’d buy a pair for my son who is a size 12. I ordered XL, and they didn’t fit my son’s feet. They were too small and too tight. I am a size 9 so I kept them. The size fits me fine, but they are really tight and kind of hard to put on. Plus the white ones I bought kind of turned yellow after first wash."

— Charles D. (3/5)

Great Every Day Socks!

"These Lifestyle socks are perfect for every day wear! The design incorporates the same Merino wool as found in my heavier Darn Tough hiking socks, but in a lighter weight for every day use. And they come with the same lifetime guarantee!"

— William R. (5/5)

Q&A

Do these come in a pack of multiple, or it’s $25 for one pair?
Hi Rachel, while we do offer bundles on our website, this listing is for one pair at $25.
looking to match darn tough socks I already wear -- can't find measurements for standard crew lightweight lifestyle or micro crew. The ones I have measure 7" heel to top just lying flat, 8" when wearing.
Hey Fred, you can view our height measurements on this page, below the sizing charts: https://darntough.com/pages/size-chart. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. Darn Tough Vermont Support Team 877-327-6883 support@darntough.com
