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
Pair with: Hiking boots, hiking shoes, a sense of exploration
Style Number: 5003
  • 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.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
  • 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.
Cushion
These micro crew hiking socks feature soft terry loops underfoot and targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles - our most popular cushion style. Micro Crew cushion map showing cushion just underfoot

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.

These socks are the bees

Colton S. (5/5)

A winning sock design!

"I love these socks! They're light weight, but have padding in the heel and toe areas, so they're versatile for both daily wear, as well as hiking or walking. The dog paddling design is a lovely bonus and I just love the colors. Another winner from DT!"

men's lightweight and medium weight socks review

"This is my second order - first order was 1 pair of lightweight and 1 pair of medium weight socks , to check out shoe comfort with each one . second order was 3 pair of lightweight and 1 pair of medium weight . Appreciate the designs , colors and quality ."

CHRIS J. (5/5)

I haven't had this pair

"I haven't had this pair that long, but i already love the feel. perfect height and looks great. Most of all i love the quality. I own two other pairs of darn tough socks and they have been great. the wool keeps sweat away from feet. Feet stay dry and warm in winter and cool in summer, which man made materials cant compare with. i also love that the socks stay fitted to my feet. . no sag, no sagging. . stays in place pefrectly"

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!
Size guide, couldn’t find it. I’m a 15 wide shoe size. Would an XL fit?
Hi Michael! Our size chart is available here: https://darntough.com/pages/size-chart Size XL is for size 12.5-14.5 shoe size.
