  • 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.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
  • 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.

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

Best Socks I have ever owned.

"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."

I mostly wear these socks

"I mostly wear these socks at home to show off the cool UFO design on them, yet they are super comfy and always put a smile on my face. The kids giggle when they see dad walking around in them. The cushioning is perfect as well as the height and length. I normally wear a size 12 and these fit like a glove."

— Dominik S. (5/5)

Guarantee made good

"I have used Darn Tough for all of my New England hikes for years. When one tore recently, I thought I would test the lifetime guarantee. To my delight, the new pair cane quickly and now I have a stylish and comfortable replacement pair to hit the trails with. I am happy to support a company that makes quality products and lives up to its rhetoric."

— CARL B. (5/5)

Great socks!

"Great socks! They keep my feet cool during the day and warm when I sleep at night. They never ever small and I can wear them multiple times without washing. The pattern is very cool, darn tough socks are just different in a good way. Highly recommend these socks and pretty much everything else darn tough makes."

— Aaron L. (5/5)

Amazing! Lightweight and breathable especially

"Amazing! Lightweight and breathable especially during these hot summer months. I’ve taken them on a few hikes so far and discovered no issues. Beautiful art design as well that always makes me smile. Will definitely buy more in the future!"

— Anthony E. (5/5)

NICE!

"Great light hiking sock with just the right cushioning. Fast shipping too! I am a Darn Tough customer for life. Love them!"

— Pamela B. (5/5)

Only the best

"These were a gift for my boyfriend who, for better or worse, decided he was going to start hiking with me. Darn tough is the only sock I hike in. He needed the best for his feet too. ❤️"

— Natalie E. (5/5)

Great socks overall, just a bit of pinching at front of ankle.

"I'm a fan of the weight of these socks, as well as the fun design. I give it 4 stars, rather than 5, however, because I find with the hiking socks that it digs into my skin a bit at the front of my ankle when I first put them on. They relax after wearing them and it's not a problem - in fact, I own a half-dozen Darn Tough hiking socks, they're excellent quality overall."

— Sean C. (4/5)

They are just Darn Tough

"Absolutely amazing socks have been wearing this brand for years and has been the only brand I trust on my feet. From the swamps of Florida to the peaks of the Tetons they have gotten me there."

— Tyler V. (5/5)

So far so good.

"So far so good. Time will tell if these are as good as advertised. I can not make a real assessment this soon, I have only worn them a couple times. Check back if you are really interested in my opinion as opposed to a good rating for marketing purposes. Also the rating below about fit too narrow, just right, and too wide does not leave room for a real assessment about fit. None meet my circumstance. Thanks"
