  • 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.
  • Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
  • Our 1466 is one iconic sock. We've made improvements along the way, because that's what we do, but you can't argue with a classic.
  • 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

The first pair I bought

"The first pair I bought years ago were so good, I decided I wanted another pair. I am a competitive disc golfer and I can’t remember a tournament in the last 4 years where I wasn’t wearing my darn tough socks. Cushion, breathability. They are warm in the winter in England and yet still comfortable in the summer in Texas. Thank you for helping me feel confident in my footwear on the course."

— Kevin S. (5/5)

Great color for a classic style

"The classic 1466 socks never disappoint, they have been my favorite for over a decade. Excellent durability, I have a pair that is ten years old at this point and still going strong. I wear them everywhere, from around the house to work to hiking/backpacking trips. The new mint color looks great and they have the same comfortable fit as always."

— Gabe M. (5/5)

Literally the only socks I

"Literally the only socks I will wear. I finally wore out a few pairs after 5+ years of wear so the quality is exceptional. I got a few new pairs through the warranty claim and the process was really simple and I’m so stoked to have a few fresh pairs of new socks for work (wearing steel toe boots on concrete floors all day) and hiking/ mountain biking. My favorite socks and the comfort is top notch."

— Lyle B. (5/5)

Get some!

"I bought my wife and me the lightweight 3/4-high hiking socks for a two-week Italy trip. My wife commented on how good they were and couldn’t get over how comfortable they kept her feet. No sweat, no odor, and they simply keep your feet protected—which was great considering we were averaging over 15,000 steps daily in hot, humid weather. As soon as fall started, I had to get the midweight hikers for my daily drivers. I’d recommend the midweight version for cooler fall/winter weather, and they put my old socks to shame. Honestly, I can’t say I’ve ever gotten excited about socks before, but these are the best I’ve owned in my 50+ years. The fact that they’re made in the U. S. A. , guaranteed, and this damn good has me wanting to change every pair I own to the Darn Tough brand…"

Best Socks in my dresser!

"These are the most comfortable socks I’ve ever owned! I wear a size 11.5 or 12 shoe depending on the brand. I got the large men’s hiker midweight. The size and cushion are just right. Darn Tough socks are more expensive than a pack of crew socks from a big box store. But I think I’m going to have to gradually replace all of my cotton socks with Darn Tough merino wool socks. They really are THAT good!"

Men's Hiker Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Socks, mint green

"I have been happy with Darn Tough socks for years, especially the Men's Hiker Boot FullCushion Midweight Hiking Socks. I ordered two pair of these mint green Hiker micro Crew in XL, my usual size. I sent them back as they felt smaller than XL and were tight and difficult to put on. Not sure why?"

— Dennis D. (1/5)

Have been wearing this model

"Have been wearing this model for several years. Quite comfortable. This purchase was a warranty replacement. Warranty is just as represented. Send them back no questions asked. Quick reply and great customer service. Darn tough is all I buy anymore!"

— john k. (5/5)

High Quality Socks

"Very well made sock. They are comfortable and appear to be made for the long haul. Great workmanship. These socks are well above the average sock, but I still expected more cushion. I have since ordered some that are promoted as "full cushion". These are a quality US made product and the lifetime warranty is great."

— Gary J. (4/5)

Da Best Socks

"Wether its long work days on my feet or high peaks hikes I know I can count on these socks to have my back....or feet I guess. I have yet to find socks that are more comfortable than these and have a few pairs of different styles. Big fan of the cushioned ones. True to weight, light is great for hot days, mid for those in between seasons, and heavy for the cold. True to size as well. Works in sneakers and boots and no footwear. Literally zero complaints."

— Jon F. (5/5)

Best socks out there

"Great comfort and cushion. Wool provides natural temperature control. Would recommend for hiking. I actually wear for ice hockey too and they’ve worked great for that. No complaints."

— Katrina W. (5/5)
