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

Darn good socks, plan to buy more.

"I have two pair of the full cushion heavyweight boot socks (mil-spec). I thought these would be more like those, only different colors. My mistake, the mil-spec seem next level. I much prefer the mil-spec socks for any kind of hiking. Most of my socks are the micro crew hikers, full cushion. I do like these better. Still these are darn good socks, I plan to buy more."

Excellent Heavyweight socks

"I love wearing these socks as "cabin socks" just around the house in the wintertime. They are super comfy and have a nice cushion."

— Ken B. (5/5)

I love the cushioning and

"I love the cushioning and comfort of these socks and wear them all the time. I also love the Darn Tough warranty. Hats off and socks on for this company and product."

— Peter B. (5/5)

Favorite style

"These are my favorite. I like the thickness more than the ones that have a more “breathable” upper panel. I have a hard time remembering which I like when I order. I like micro crew length and the full heavyweight style."

— Brian B. (5/5)

Best Most Respected Garment Period.

"Our household has utilized Darn Tough socks for years. We are agriculture hard working blue collar humans. We love our comfort, durability, colors, and super cushion. The warranty program is stellar if needed, we used it once as a test on a pair of socks that I am sure I had for 8 years plus just to see how the interaction would go. We have bumped our sizing up 2 notches for lazy day socks around the house to replace slippers, Works Fantastic."

Very happy with these micro

"Very happy with these micro crew heavyweight socks. . . . . very comfortable and they add the extra padding I was looking for on those long days on my feet"

— Jim N. (5/5)

Accompany of integrity

"I love these socks! I’ve been wearing these types of socks, the full cushion for years… the only difference is is that I’ve gotten different color recently, then just the normal dark, gray and red version. I like this color better because the inside is white fabric that slowly gets worn down and stick sticks to your feet and doesn’t leave black fluff balls everywhere but instead of white fluff balls so you don’t even see… big improvement over the dark black ones! As always, amazing company, amazing socks, and amazing service!! thanks so much guys! For doing and being a company with integrity!"
