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.

Son Loves these

"My 8yr old son LOVES these! The pattern is so fun. He wears them 2 days and then we wash quickly because he wants to put them right back on his feet. He is kids size 5 and these have a good snug fit with no twisting or bunching when wearing them with slides, tennis shoes, or hiking boots. Material quality is very durable. Will continue to by DT for whole family."

— 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)
