  • Men's micro crew socks average 8.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to rise about 6 in. above a running sneaker.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters. Here's to focusing on your run and not your feet.
  • Runners enjoy Merino Wool's ability to dry quickly and move excess heat and moisture away from feet.
  • Lightweight socks breathe well, feel great, and regulate temperature during tough workouts.
  • Arch support alleviates foot fatigue and bunching for long-running comfort with zero slippage.
  • 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.

Blister-Free Running

Beyond the moisture-wicking our running socks swear to, their fit is equally key. With a truly seamless wrap around your foot, they fit well and work well with any running shoe – trail or road. Depending on your style or desired features, we have heights ranging from no-shows and quarters to micro crews and over-the-calf run socks. All are knit with our ultra-lightweight yarn, while some styles have cushion for added protection and comfort. The best fit you’ve ever worn, accompanied with Merino’s performance, leads to incredible comfort that will leave you blister-free.

Reviews

Best socks ever

"These are the best socks I’ve ever worn. Wearing a duty boot that is waterproof and BBP resistant, my feet sweat horribly with regular socks. These solve that problem completely they wick so well. My feet also don’t smell anymore since switching to these socks. Their replacement policy for the socks is unbeatable as well. I have always purchased a good quality sock but they wear out. Darn Tough will replace them no matter what and they are top tier for that in my book."

— Colby M. (5/5)

Great socks!

"These socks are great! I purchased white (previously), navy, dark grey and light grey. I've noticed slight differences in thickness, but all pairs are great! They are naturally breathable, snug on my feet and my go-to for any summer activity. Highly recommend."

— Joshua P. (5/5)

Great socks beats cotton any

"Great socks beats cotton any day With my job being a carpenter for 18 years always had cotton on my feet the stink was unbearable these wool socks they do have a smell after 10 hour work day bit nothing close to toxic stink like cotton Would recommend to anyone"

— Przemyslaw S. (5/5)

Limited Edition Micro Crew are AWESOME

"I got several DT socks recently and among them was the Limited Edition Micro Crew hikers. These socks feel wonderful on my feet and when they come out of the dryer. They're like soft cotton, but they're not. Highly recommend these. I ordered Large for my 9-1/2 feet. And DT sends your socks fast."

— J S. (5/5)

Love these. Great light hikers

"Love these. Great light hikers and they look good. I only buy Darn Tough socks anymore (dress socks too. ). Made in USA and a lifetime warranty (that I’ve never had to use. )"

— Robert O. (5/5)

I am proud to say

"I am proud to say I only own darn tough socks. You can rummage through my sock drawer and I promise you that's all you will find. These are an awesome color and give your feet the same amazing hug that I truly look forward to every time I'm putting on a brand new pair of darn toughs."

— Alex S. (5/5)

Best Socks.

"Awesome socks. My feet would always smell really bad even a couple of hours into my shift. But after switching to merino wool, my feet don’t smell at home even if I go a night without showering so 2 full shifts, they smell like nothing. Biggest life change getting these socks."

— Owen W. (5/5)

Love ‘em

"Darn Tough are the best Darn socks I’ve bought. Warranty is legit. I’ve worn holes in two or three pairs now through the years, send them in, receive credit, order new pair, and repeat. Plan on buying them the rest of my life"

— Jake B. (5/5)

Great Socks

"So much nicer than the cheap running socks I am used to. Breathable, comfy, and no blisters or hotspots. Definitely worth the price, going to have slowly replace all of my running and hiking socks with these."

— Todd W. (5/5)

Great Socks

"This socks seems to hit the sweet spot for me. They stay in place and they regulate the temperature of my feet. They seem to have the right amount of cushion and help prevent blisters."

— Kelly P. (5/5)
