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

Hiking no see

"Nice snug fit and very comfortable. Somehow they make my shoes more comfortable too. Quality is very high and with the best guarantee. They are a great value to me. JD"

— John D. (5/5)

Comfortable and cool

"As usual they are super comfortable and fit quite well. I really like how the Merino wool wicks the sweat away from the feet so that at the end of a regular day you aren't pulling off a sweaty sticky sock. They keep the feet feeling fresh (or as fresh as possible after being on your feet all day)! I wear Hokas and the height of these socks is just right so the shoe doesn't rub on the underside of the ankle."

— Patrick D. (5/5)

My new go-to socks

"Purchased these socks not knowing what to expect. All of the socks that came in are comfortable, and each sock is mission dependent. Highly recommend this company to replace your current socks. Lifetime warranty also, who can beat that?"

— Dustin M. (5/5)

They show

"These are great socks but they do show above your shoe line. These are good hiking socks and are reinforced in the toe and heel. I wear a 11 - 11. 5 and size large fits well."

— Tom A. (5/5)

No more swamp foot!

"Picked up a couple pairs of these on a recommendation, and after 2 weeks, they're a game changer! Working outside I'd been wearing a cotton mix in my sneakers & low top safety toe shoes and it'd been like a sauna in there. These socks are completely different, as they breathe, even in the safety toes, and I'm not dealing with damp feet even on hot and humid days. After reading the article about the 30 day challenge, I stretched a single wear to 3 days and they weren't crusty or stinky at all (I wasn't going to try for the full 30). Definitely will be getting a few more low pairs for summer and some crew socks for the fall hiking season."

— Richard L. (5/5)

They fit really well with

"They fit really well with no slippage, so far. They are brand new, though, so we will see how they hold up. Very happy with the quality of the socks, they seem to be tough and up to the task."

— Adam B. (5/5)

Long time fan of Darn

"Long time fan of Darn Tough. New to the no show or shorter sock though. I bought 5 different pairs and ended up with this one as my favorite solely (no pun intended) because of the cushioning it provides vs the other lightweight socks. I will be ordering more for sure."

— John B. (5/5)

I have a few pair

"I have a few pair of regular wear Darn tough socks for work, but I got these to see if there would be an appreciable difference for the walks in the woods I do with my dogs. These definitely feel more cushioned, without feeling like there's any extra bulk or any change to the fit of my shoes. I continue to be impressed by the feel, fit and comfort of these socks. And considering the prices of everything these days, these are a great value. I will be getting more of them, since they are comfortable for every day wear as well as hiking. Thanks much for putting in the effort to make a great product. That is rare these days."

— Michael G. (5/5)

First time, No show socks

"Trying Darn Tough no show socks for the first time, they are so comfortable, much better than wearing shoes with no socks at all. Best of all, no blisters ."

— David K. (5/5)

Great for hiking or just

"Great for hiking or just wearing for a round of disc golf"

— Robert S. (5/5)

Q&A

I get easily cold and frequently wear a couple pairs of "regular" (cotton?) socks during winter. Are these socks helpful for keeping feet warm during wintertime?
Hi Lake, for thick and warm you might best enjoy our Men's Home Base Shorty Heavyweight Lifestyle Sock - https://darntough.com/products/mens-merino-wool-home-base-shorty-heavyweight-lifestyle-socks?variant=43813140889786
Is it $17 per pair or is it a pack?
Hey Joe, for $17 you will receive one pair of matching socks covered by our Lifetime Guarantee! We sell a few pack items on our website, but that will specifically be mentioned in the title.
How do these particular socks differ from the Lightweight Cushion No Show Hiker socks you also offer?
The Light hiker is a new and improved version with breathable mesh windows on top of the foot!
