Darn Great!

"These were replacement socks for a pair with a hole. I was interested to see about the unconditional guarantee. Darn Tough made the process very easy, no hassles. Note that you do need to pay about $7 to send the old pair back. Now, to these socks. . . I thought they would be much heavier, but to my surprise and pleasure, they are light weight but feel padded. The length is exactly what I was hoping for, and they are very comfortable. No snow yet, so I can't comment on the intended use."

Best snowboard socks

"I first started wearing Darn Tough for snowboarding and discovered they were comfortable, didn’t give me blisters and had a lifetime warranty. I tried their tactical socks as well and those were the same high quality. Darn Tough socks got me through firefighter academy blister-free while many of my classmates couldn’t say the same. These socks feel like the same quality socks I’ve come to expect from Darn Tough"

Happy with how they feel

"Happy with how they feel on my feet. More luxurious, warmer, and durable than the Chinese wool ski socks from AMZN. Wore them in single digit temps and feet were cool, not cold. The feel is unusual as they caress the feet. Are they worth 5x the price?? Depends on how you roll. If there's no substitute for top quality in your world, then yes. The cheap stuff will work but are unremarkable and disposable."

OTC

"All the DT OTC socks are perfect if you’re standing most of the day. Fit is perfect!"

Great Socks

"These were a gift for my partner and he loves them. These are his first over the calf socks and he is really enjoying wearing them this winter. Thank you!"

I LOVE Darn Tough Socks, these are Great !

"I have several pairs of the Over the Calf length Darn Tough socks, most in Mid weight. The new pair I got in December is now in my rotation and it feels great. Seems to have a little extra length at the top to easily get over my calf and end under my knee. They stay up all day long. Im 64 and while my circulations good I like the mild compression they provide and my legs feel great all day long. I often wear these when playing pickleball in the winter. Keeps me warm, provides a bit of padding, and the ever the calf length works so well. They guarantee them for life and they stand by their guarantee. Just a great Made in America / American Owned company. Supporting them is just a huge bonus. They never smell bad, they dry quickly when I put them close to my heater vent. I wash them with the rest of my clothes but only air dry them. I never knew I could get this excited over socks. Then I tried Darn Tough and Dang-it, Im a fan for life."

Stellar ski socks

"Darn Tough socks are my go to for every activity. They keep your feet dry, never a blister- whether it is 90degrees or I just ran through a stream. The ski socks are just the right amount of compression and kept my feet warm after 8 hours on the hill. Running ski races you stay out for EVERYTHING, even sub zero temps. Save your money and get Darn Tough socks- they are the BEST!!"

— Mike D. (5/5)

Great socks

"These socks were recommended to me by my sister. My husband and I love them. We’ve ordered another pair each and had plans to order a third pair each. That will set us up for any weather or situation you are in."

— Janice M. (5/5)

Great ski socks

"My son joined ski club at his new school. Purchased DT ski socks for his adventures and they worked great during some especially cold nights. Purchased more for myself"

— Jason H. (5/5)

Warm, Moisture Wicking, and Breathable Socks

"Darn Tough makes the most durable, comfortable, warm, and moisture-wicking ski socks I have ever used. Their ski, hiking, and crew socks are all comfortable, look good, and live up to their reputation for excellence, comfort, and performance. Darn Tough socks are made in the US and worth every penny when you compare them to other high-performance brands of socks."

— Brendon H. (5/5)
