Honestly, when the Men’s Health 2021 Outdoor Awards tagged our Number 2 sock as their Best Hiking Sock, we were moved. Personally, we think it’s the No. 1 sock when nature calls. Look closely at this hike sock and you’ll see what we mean. Either way, a blown-out seam should be the least of your worries. That’s why the Number 2 is also No. 1 when it comes to long-lasting toughness and active comfort as well.

  • 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.
  • Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
  • 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.

Best hiking socks on the planet

"Best hiking socks on the planet I have never had a blister when wearing Darn Toughs"

— todd g. (5/5)

These are my lucky fishing socks.

"I know it’s going to sound crazy, but the Number 2 socks are my lucky trout fishing socks. First of all, they keep my feet warm, dry and comfortable in my waders standing is a cold stream. And, when I wear them I always seem to catch fish. Luck, superstition, magic knitting process? Bottom line these are great socks."

— David K. (5/5)

Q&A

Is this the same sock as the 1466 besides the Color way? I recently bought 6 of the 1466 and I want more but I don’t want a bunch the same color way. Didn’t know if some thing besides the color way was different
Hi Lee! Yes, This style sock and style 1466 are both the same height and same weight just a different design!
Men's Number 2 Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Sock- Please, please, please, a zillion times please, make this sock in size small! The medium is too big for most of us women. I’ve asked before and will keep asking cause I just love this sock pattern. Just cracks me up!
We will definitely share your feedback and request with the team! Stay tuned!🧦
Is that an outhouse on the socks?
Hey Jan, it is indeed an outhouse! Drink from enough streams and you’ll eventually get an explosive reaction. Look closely at this hike sock and you’ll see what we mean. However, a blown-out seam should be the least of your worries. That’s why the Number 2 is #1 when it comes long-lasting toughness and active comfort.
Does this sock have the same cushioning level and tech as the ATC midweight trail sock? Wool, nylon and spandex content look similar. The ATC socks appear to have tighter knit around the calves. Would the ATC sock be more durable regarding bushes, rocks and other snags?
Hi Ian, the ATC and Number 2 styles are both Midweight Hiking socks that feature cushion under foot, around the toes, and heel. The biggest difference between them is the added designs. These styles will offer very similar comfort and durability.
How do you wash these socks--the ones that have at least partial wool?
We recommend washing your Darn Tough socks in cold or warm water and either line or tumble drying on low to no heat. While standard detergent is fine, it's best to stay away from fabric softener, Oxyclean, and bleach. Laundering inside out also helps fluff up the cushion layer which can flatten over years of use.
