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

No complaints - They’re great!

"Seem more durable than traditional cotton fabric socks, but have only worn them once thus far. I really love the design and didn’t think they were too expensive for what you get and the lifetime guarantee. Was surprised how breathable and not hot they were during a hot humid Midwest summer day. Hope the wool will help add a nice layer of warty during the winter months. Was happy and they shipped out quickly. Proud to support quality, manufactured in America products."

— Max M. (5/5)

Foot hug

"I've been wearing synthetic cycling socks for everything recently. They aren't that great. Darn Tough is like a soft hug for your foot. Wool is serious tech fiber - it regulates temperature really well and doesn't stink like synthetic fibers. I can wear these socks multiple days in a row if necessary and not hate myself for doing so. The sock looks good, feels quality and is backed by a lifetime warranty - why not buy another pair?"

— Drew T. (5/5)

I love them. There’s a

"I love them. There’s a clear sense, when I’m wearing them, that they’re different. Made better. Sturdier. They’re handsomely designed with enough harmonized color variety to look great with almost anything I wear but not so much that they feel garish when I’m going for a serious look with a little accent to spice things up. They hold their shape, they’re easy to care for. Like I said. I longer then. I wish the dark reinforced toe area was just a little wider. It barely spans all of my toes and sometimes feels a little weird."

— Shannon L. (5/5)

Darn Tough makes the best

"Darn Tough makes the best socks EVER. Worth every penny. They got me through a 10 mile hike to Iceberg Lake in Montana with no problems with my feet afterward. Thanks Darn Tough!"

— Stephen P. (5/5)

The only socks I wear

"They are little darn tough, I haven’t worn through my first pair yet after 3 years and I finally made the switch to exclusively wear these as my everyday sock."

— Colton S. (5/5)

Most comfortable socks I've owned!

"I was worried they'd be too tight. On initial try they were the softest & most comfortable socks I've had. They are tight in that they stay on & up; however, they still have enough stretch that I can splay my toes & feel comfortable in my barefoot shoes & not feel like my toes are being squeezed. I went with this thinner pair for the summer, & they aren't too hot even wearing them in 90+°F weather. I love the mountain design & color! I wear them for a week or two then wash them, & they stay snug the whole time & don't start bunching down. I'd needed new socks for years & finally treated myself to these. I'm so glad I got these instead of buying cheap socks. These are definitely one of my new favorite items of clothing, & I plan to get more & have a little collection of comfort & quality that I don't have to worry about. I highly recommend these & will be telling anyone that is interested about them. I have nerve damage in my feet & wear larger shoes so they don't squeeze my toes. My feet are men's size 12, & I wear size 13 shoes. I went with the men's large size for the socks, & they're just right for foot length & tightness."

— Sean S. (5/5)

Never Disappointed

"I’ve worn darn tough socks for years. Great quality, great design, and these socks are no exception."

— Richard D. (5/5)

These are perfect for everyday

"These are perfect for everyday wear, just walking, sitting or, I suppose, even hiking. Wish there was a bigger choice!"

— Larry B. (5/5)

The best socks around!

"these are the most popular socks imsee people use on the pacific crest trail"

— Jesse M. (5/5)

Q&A

Does this sock have the same cushioning level and tech as the PCT and CDT lightweight trail socks? Wool, nylon and spandex content look similar. The other two socks appear to have tighter knit around the calves. Would the named trail socks be more durable regarding bushes, rocks and other snags?
Hi Ian, all three of these styles are Lightweight Hiking socks that feature cushion under foot, around the toes, and the heel. The trail socks offer a slightly longer cushion up towards the Achilles.These three styles will offer similar comfort and durability, the main difference being the designs.
