Socks and service—what a pair!

"Excellent in every way: fit, cushion, and wear. And, I must add, service is extraordinary—a glitch with the Postal Service was, for Darn Touch, merely an opportunity to shine."

Charles D. (5/5)

Merino Wool

"Darn tootin I luv Darn Tough socks!"

Leonard P. (5/5)

Great socks! Fit may not be what you expect though

"Love these socks! I wear a size 11 boot and the larges are very tight around my ankles, will try sizing up on my next purchase."

Brian G. (5/5)

Great socks. In fact I

"Great socks. In fact I wear them everyday. Even in the summer. There comfortable and hold up very well. I have some that’s two years and no holes or thin spots as of yet. Keep up the great work. Customer for life."

Lang W. (5/5)

Comfortable fit keeps my feet

"Comfortable fit keeps my feet warm and dry good for my diabetes. The cushion control is wonderful and I will wear them regardless of the weather I recommend these socks to anyone who’s looking for comfort."

AMBER W. (5/5)

Best gifts to myself and for others

"These are comfortable, warm, and have a great fit. They handle washing well and don’t loose their shape or structure over time. I love these thicker socks for hiking but don’t feel like my feet overheat in any condition (we do a lot of desert hiking). I give these out every year for Christmas and my family starts asking about them before Halloween."

Morgan S. (5/5)

A must for boots!

"I love the feel of these socks on my feet! These socks stay up without slipping downward and my toes are not irritated by the toe seam! They just are made to fit and the cushioning is just right. Not too thick and not too thick…perfect!"

Martha T. (5/5)

Q&A

Is the picture of the cushion for the Men's Nomad Boot Midweight Hiking Sock correct? The description says full cushion but the picture looks more like cushion (cushion underfoot and in leg). Thanks
Hi Mark, the cushion detail picture showing for the Nomad is incorrect, thank you for pointing this out. We have reached out to our web team to get this addressed ASAP. The Nomad features a full cushion profile, wrapping entirely around the top of the foot and all the way up the leg. Apologies for any confusion!
What is this product different from MEN'S HIKER BOOT MIDWEIGHT HIKING SOCK? (except for 2% wool, design)
Hi there, these socks are going to be quite similar, some of the main differences you've noted. The Nomad Boot sock is available in Full Cushion, and the Midweight Hiker is available in both Full Cushion, and Cushion. The Cushion option provides a panel over top of foot for added breathability in your boots. Please feel free to reach out with further questions at 1-877-DARNTUF, or support@darntough.com.
Whats the percentage of merino wool? Usually they have the break down but these don't. Wondering if there more expensive because of more wool or just the way there made. Thanks
68% Merino Wool 30% Nylon 2% Lycra Spandex - the twisted yarn increases the price slightly *Website is under maintenance. Compositions will be back soon😀
