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

I have many Darn Tough

"I have many Darn Tough socks. these were the first no show socks I purchased and my only regret was getting them in the same color as my ankle socks (sorting inefficiency). Thin, cool, comfortable and durable. I use a wool detergent on a hand wash setting and hang dry, so the wash cycle isn't really impacting durability. I do wear custom orthotics, which tend to out a lot of stress on socks due to the high arch and support. ive had zero durability issues, fading, nothing. I love these socks. Great for summer and warmer weather."

— Richard O. (5/5)

Darn good sock

"Decided to try these socks after having tried several other online retailers of high-end socks and not having found anything that satisfies me. What I can say about the darn tough socks, having had them only a week or two, is that they appear to be the best woven socks when examining them. They are a very comfortable sock, warm and breathable. Having learned and now discovering for myself that they can be worn for extended periods of time and still remain order free and just as comfortable. This no doubt will extend their life that frequent washings tend to shorten. Ordered two pair the first time around to test them out and just ordered another two. Also, enjoy all the different colors and patterns available."

— Craig S. (5/5)

Excellent

"The material feels amazing. Great fit and design. I usually wear them three days in a row before I wash them and so far they never smell bad."

— Nicholas C. (5/5)

Love the socks!

"These socks are comfy, stylish, and great with temp control. I wear them every day without hesitation. Warm or cold out they are my go to socks for work and play. I wear them during long days landscaping for work and evening riding mtn bike trails. These are great for beginners or experts. If you wear socks, you should be wearing darn tough. Plus they have a lifetime warranty. Hard to beat that! I have them in multiple colors and will continue upgrading my sock fleet to only Darn Tough."

— Frank W. (5/5)

Lions and Tigers and Bears oh Yes.

"I love this pair. I just ordered a similar sock in a no cushion version. The height is great for warmer days. I wear these in sandals. The tab model no show slipped off my heal. These don’t. Darn Tough always has a solution including my women’s bear socks sized for a guy! Smiles all Jim"

— Jim R. (5/5)

Great gift

"Fantastic socks for my brother! Breathable, comfortable and perfect cushion. Socks keep feet dry and odor free every day. Even after multiple days of wear. Amazing quality and comfortable . Fits well under all shoes."

— JoAnn D. (5/5)

Swwweeeeeetttt

"So, I’m a Vermonter so I already knew the popularity of the darn tough brand. These socks aren’t your run of the mill fad. They’re amazing. They keep your feet dry and airy. Half the time I forget I even have socks on. They don’t fall off. They take forever to wear out. And when they do, you fill out a simple form and send them in for credit to get a new pair; you’re literally only paying like 5 bucks for shipping and you get brand new socks again. I have all types of these socks from the ankle all the way up to over the calf ones in combat boots. I do not buy any other brand of socks anymore. If you’re willing to give quality socks a try, then you won’t be disappointed when you put these bad boys on your tootsies. Spend the few extra bucks and be nice to your feet."

These socks actually fit perfectly

"These socks actually fit perfectly and I love them. I bought some from another high end brand run so small they were uncomfortable."

— Jeff M. (5/5)

Love these socks

"The fit is perfect, the cushion is just the right amount, and they are just so comfortable. When I wear cotton socks now, my feet just don't get the same enjoyment that they do when wearing these."

— Jordan (5/5)

Just right on the thickness

"Just right on the thickness and socks are tough enough to use outdoor working in the yard."

— Susan H. (5/5)

Q&A

I get easily cold and frequently wear a couple pairs of "regular" (cotton?) socks during winter. Are these socks helpful for keeping feet warm during wintertime?
Hi Lake, for thick and warm you might best enjoy our Men's Home Base Shorty Heavyweight Lifestyle Sock - https://darntough.com/products/mens-merino-wool-home-base-shorty-heavyweight-lifestyle-socks?variant=43813140889786
Is it $17 per pair or is it a pack?
Hey Joe, for $17 you will receive one pair of matching socks covered by our Lifetime Guarantee! We sell a few pack items on our website, but that will specifically be mentioned in the title.
How do these particular socks differ from the Lightweight Cushion No Show Hiker socks you also offer?
The Light hiker is a new and improved version with breathable mesh windows on top of the foot!
