Hi. My name is Sal. I’m two weeks old. I love hiking. And I enjoy long trips to/from daycare. In my free time, I like rolling around in the mud. I don’t have teeth, so I won’t bite. But I will keep your kiddo’s feet warm, comfortable, and blister-free. And since I’m Guaranteed for Life, you’ll only have to buy me once. Let’s be friends?

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 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

Although these are kids socks,

"Although these are kids socks, I ordered the large for myself (women's 7. 5). They fit perfectly and I love the weight1. They are also adorable!"

— Kathryn B. (5/5)

Adorable, cozy and comfortable

"Review by Rosie age 7: “They fit perfectly. I think the salamander is so cute with his walking stick, his lantern and his neckerchief. I am wearing right now because we just went on a hike at the National Park. I love the color of the stripes on the ankle of the sock. They have comfortable cushion when I wear them with my hiking boots. ”"

— Rebecca D. (5/5)

Love love love

"Can never go wrong with DT socks. I love the design, but you can’t beat how they fit. They are snug but not constricting, supportive and keep my toes dry. They are thick an exactly perfect for hanging out around the house or going on an adventure."

— Mariah I. (5/5)

Great Socks for a Busy Toddler

"We got these for our toddler who hates socks, and he actually loves these! They are the only socks we can get him to keep on his feet. He finds them very soft and comfortable. He likes them so much he even wears them to bed at night! He loved getting to pick them out and is so excited every time he sees the little salamander on the sides."

— Rachel E. (5/5)

Really great

"Delightful kids socks. The usual Darn Tough quality with a colorful design. Very nice!"

— Ian S. (5/5)

High quality!

"Thick and sturdy! My son love little Sal. These feel like they will last long enough for another child to wear them when he outgrows them."

— Noah B. (5/5)

Best Socks Ever

"I bought these for my wife. These would be her first pair of Darn Tough socks. She loved the fit, comfort, and the fact that they keep her feet warmer without sweating. She bragged on the workmanship and is already looking ahead to her next sock purchase."

— Matthew S. (5/5)

Horrible shipping

"Horrible delivery experience. The courier they are using just dropped it to some random unit in our community. Had to scout through so many buildings to finally find the package. Definitely not ordering from them again. I was wondering how they have only 5star reviews. The company likely filters out all negative reviews."

— Velan6 (1/5)

These socks were a gift

"These socks were a gift for my 4-year-old niece. She loves them! The colors and design are cute and fun, they fit well, and they’re going to last as long as they fit on her growing feet."

— Miranda F. (5/5)

Solid socks for little dudes n gals

"Sol says they fit nicely on his feet and are super comfy. He loved the pattern, huge lizard fan so it was perfect. They are durable as can be, 11 yr old running around outside and they still look new after a wash. The design of the sock is solid. Perfect length for him to wear with shorts or pants."
