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.
Lightweight socks breathe naturally and deliver flexible, all-day comfort for summer hiking.
Light Hiker socks have cushioning underfoot, atop the ankle, and up the Achilles to keep feet comfortable for miles and miles.
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.

Overall rating: 4.8733287 / 5 from 1421 reviews.

Reviews

Indestructible & Comfortable

"These socks earn their reputation. I run, hike, and stay on my feet most days, and Darn Tough holds up through all of it. The merino wool wicks sweat fast. My feet stay dry on long runs and sweaty summer hikes. The fit is snug without pinching, and the socks stay put. No bunching, no slipping down into my boot. Durability is the real selling point. I've put dozens of miles on the same pair without a single hole. Darn Tough backs that up with a lifetime guarantee, and I believe it. These aren't disposable socks you replace every season. If you're active and tired of socks that wear out in a few months, these are worth the higher price tag. Buy once, wear for years."

— Erik T. (5/5)

Men’s light hiker micro crew with cushion

"These are very comfy and still feel very breathable. I am excited to use them and they provide good support. I am a big fan of merino wool and this is the second type of sock I got from darn tough. I plan on wearing these for walking, biking, hiking, to the office, etc."

— Jet P. (5/5)

The best darn socks in the world

"Amazing socks, I have been wearing darn tough socks for over 10 years and they are the most comfortable and durable socks of any that I have ever worn. I refuse to go back to any other sock anything else would be subpar! I highly recommend darn tough socks!! I have used the warranty several times the weak spots in the sock for me are in the back of the heel where I pull them on overtime but I think that is just fabric it's not the fault of the sock It is a very good investment the thickness is perfect The sock stays molded to your foot! I cannot stress enough how perfect these socks are My warranty claims have always been fast and have always been high quality the customer service is amazing with this company."

— JASON E. (5/5)

Excellent fit in shorter boots.

"Excellent fit in shorter boots. Great comfort and temperature regulation for warm weather. Worn for over 12 hours with no issues."

— Rafael F. (5/5)

Pretty Darn Good

"These socks are perfect for thick boots that don't breathe. They're thin so my feet don't overheat and the padding is great for a little bit extra comfort."

— Rylan D. (5/5)

Excellent!

"These feel great, just like all my other pairs of Darn Tough socks. Nice balance of lightweight, cushion, and durability. These were a warranty replacement, I finally wore out my original pair after several years of hard use. Great socks, great company"

— Joe M. (5/5)

Great socks and great color.

"Great socks and great color. love darn tough, comfortable, no hot spots or raised seams. You cannot go wrong with these socks."

— Eric W. (5/5)
