  • 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.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.
  • Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

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

I mostly wear these socks

"I mostly wear these socks at home to show off the cool UFO design on them, yet they are super comfy and always put a smile on my face. The kids giggle when they see dad walking around in them. The cushioning is perfect as well as the height and length. I normally wear a size 12 and these fit like a glove."

— Dominik S. (5/5)

Guarantee made good

"I have used Darn Tough for all of my New England hikes for years. When one tore recently, I thought I would test the lifetime guarantee. To my delight, the new pair cane quickly and now I have a stylish and comfortable replacement pair to hit the trails with. I am happy to support a company that makes quality products and lives up to its rhetoric."

— CARL B. (5/5)

Great socks!

"Great socks! They keep my feet cool during the day and warm when I sleep at night. They never ever small and I can wear them multiple times without washing. The pattern is very cool, darn tough socks are just different in a good way. Highly recommend these socks and pretty much everything else darn tough makes."

— Aaron L. (5/5)

NICE!

"Great light hiking sock with just the right cushioning. Fast shipping too! I am a Darn Tough customer for life. Love them!"

— Pamela B. (5/5)

Only the best

"These were a gift for my boyfriend who, for better or worse, decided he was going to start hiking with me. Darn tough is the only sock I hike in. He needed the best for his feet too. ❤️"

— Natalie E. (5/5)

Great socks overall, just a bit of pinching at front of ankle.

"I'm a fan of the weight of these socks, as well as the fun design. I give it 4 stars, rather than 5, however, because I find with the hiking socks that it digs into my skin a bit at the front of my ankle when I first put them on. They relax after wearing them and it's not a problem - in fact, I own a half-dozen Darn Tough hiking socks, they're excellent quality overall."

— Sean C. (4/5)

They are just Darn Tough

"Absolutely amazing socks have been wearing this brand for years and has been the only brand I trust on my feet. From the swamps of Florida to the peaks of the Tetons they have gotten me there."

— Tyler V. (5/5)

So far so good.

"So far so good. Time will tell if these are as good as advertised. I can not make a real assessment this soon, I have only worn them a couple times. Check back if you are really interested in my opinion as opposed to a good rating for marketing purposes. Also the rating below about fit too narrow, just right, and too wide does not leave room for a real assessment about fit. None meet my circumstance. Thanks"

— Michael S. (3/5)

My feet are happy!

"They are comfortable, the primary thing. The sizing and cushioning are perfect. Quality is obvious. They look good and the design is unique."

— Rick A. (5/5)

I recently purchased these socks,

"I recently purchased these socks, and I couldn’t be happier with them! They are incredibly soft, well-cushioned, and provide excellent comfort throughout the day. The material feels breathable yet durable, keeping my feet warm without overheating. I also appreciate how well they stay in place without sliding down."

— James M. (5/5)
