  • Hunting over the calf socks average 17 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to cover the leg to just below the knee.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no hesitation. Here's to staying comfortable while you wait.
  • Merino Wool wicks moisture and dries fast to keep feet comfortable when you're out in all weather.
  • Midweight socks respond to changing temperatures for breathable comfort when conditions shift but you don't.
  • V-shaped cushioning and breathable mesh venting on the foot for long-lasting comfort? Yup, that tracks.
  • 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.

The Hunt for Warmth Is Over

Merino Wool hunting socks are the best decision you can make outside of proper scouting. While they are knit to keep you warm, the way wool regulates with your body temperature, you’ll never be too warm. Even if you're packing your feet into rubber boots, the moisture wicking properties will keep sweat off your feet, and staying dry will keep you warm. And if you're at deer camp for the week, they are naturally odor resistant, so even if your party doesn't notice, you can appreciate the wildlife won't either.

Reviews

Great socks Midweight Hunt OTC

"Great socks Midweight Hunt OTC socks are just right and the knit is much much stronger than the Heavyweight Hunt socks which I've had to send back for replacement many times. If only Darn Tough made this in a Heavyweight version it would solve the problem."

— Omori J. (5/5)

Great all around hunting sock

"I bought these for general condition hunting socks to pair with a high cuff mountain hunting boot. After two short hikes and ~6 miles in 70-85 degree weather, I've determined that they were a great choice. They hug my foot and calf just right, wick moisture well, and the lack of seams is amazing. No question about it, Darn Tough makes the best socks for outdoor activities!"

— Oliver P. (5/5)

— Brent W. (5/5)

All the things you love

"All the things you love about Darn Tough in an over the calf midweight. They don't sag or want to slide down you leg after a long day in the woods. They breathe well and stay in place without feeling like they are digging into your leg."

— james m. (5/5)

Mid weight hunting socks

"The Darn Tough Midweight Hunting Socks are incredibly comfortable, warm, and breathable. They keep my feet dry on long hunts, provide great cushioning without bulk, and hold up season after season. The lifetime warranty is just another reason they’re worth every penny."

— Brian R. (5/5)

The hugging feeling is the

"The hugging feeling is the best part. I have significant feet problems and require custom inserts for my footwear so having a comfortable sock that doesnt bunch, slide, or lose its hug is very important to me. These and my others feel like a nice hug every single time I put them on."

— MAEGEN I. (5/5)
