The only way to make it from New Mexico to Alberta on foot is with a few pairs of unbelievably durable socks. When your feet are your preferred method of travel, your gear has to be CDT-approved. Merino Wool comfort and moisture wicking is a must when you're sloshing through streams and racking up mileage. We donate 5% of sales to support the Continental Divide Trail Coalition, so thru-hikers like yourself can keep on soul searching in the great outdoors.

Height: Micro Crew
Weight: Lightweight
Pair with: Thru-hikers, hiking boots, hiking shoes

  • 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.
  • If you're out there - crushing or cruising the Continental Divide Trail - we're with you and thank you for helping us give 5% back to the CDTC.
  • 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.

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.

Great socks with a good

"Great socks with a good fit"

— Todd M. (5/5)

Darn Tough are my favorites

"These socks are very comfortable for walking and easy to put on-great stretch. Like the pattern and the softness. Also like the fact that my feet don’t sweat in them when I hike. Overall Darn Tough socks are my favorites-I wear them for everything."

— mary r. (5/5)

Loving my CDT Micro Crew Lightweight Hiking Socks!

"I love my new CDT Micro Crew Lightweigh Hiking Socks! They have a great fit, impressive cushioning for long walks, hiking and even cycling! I've also found they have exceptional breathability and durability! I'm loving the fact they don't have a toe-seem, so I don't get blisters on my toes, like I sometimes do with socks with toe seams. The colors are just as advertised. They match up with the colors of my boots, and other gear. I've worn the socks in the Fall and Winter weather during light rain and snowy conditions, and I found them to keep my feet, warm and dry in all conditions! I highly recommend these socks!"

— Michael W. (5/5)

DT rocks!!

"Wore out a pair and got these as replacements, expecting them to last 1000+ miles like the last pair!"

— Paul M. (5/5)

Always a great fit. Game

"Always a great fit. Game changer"

— Joseph H. (5/5)

Like the socks but would

"Like the socks but would have liked them to be taller. I am used to my socks being longer. Otherwise they work. In your description below - how about putting an option on the sock fit - s bit short or could be higher?"

— Sigmund P. (4/5)

Graphics even better in person

"Love these and my new AT micro crew socks. Nothing better than repping these iconic trails, even though I've only been able to wear them at the office and gym so far. The only reason I give 4 stars over 5 is the fabric was a bit rough out of the gate, though after washing it got a tiny bit better. Time will tell, but I suspect the fibers will soften up. Both pairs are nice and tightly woven. Fit is as expected."

— Andrei E. (4/5)

Breathable Functionality

"Great weight for warmer weather. Breathable knit for no-sweat comfort. This sock runs slightly bigger than my other Darn Tough smalls, but still has a good fit."

— Tammy F. (5/5)

Great socks so far

"These socks have been great so far. I really like the micro crew height and the fit is snug but not tight. They seem high quality and well made to last a long time."

— Anthony G. (5/5)

Favorite light weight socks

"Oh so soft and comfortable. Nice colors and design. Works great with denim jeans. A lighter weight than my Darn Tough hiking socks and I love them."

— Janice W. (5/5)
