The Willoughby hiking sock might be named after Vermont’s most insta-spammable lake, but the real influencers are the sure-footed critters paddling across its buttery-soft, ribbed cuff. Dip into these lightweight Micro Crew height socks, knit with climate-controlling Merino Wool and cozy cushion underfoot, and you’ll be trekking on without fear of the dreaded swamp-foot that can lead to blisters.

  • 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.
  • Lightweight socks breathe naturally and deliver flexible, all-day comfort for summer hiking.
  • 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.

Reviews

comfy and durable

"very light cushion and not too thick for summer hiking. Great design and wore it on a backpacking trip. i've put around 80 miles on them with 0 sign of wear. they do shrink a bit if placed in the dryer but no issues returning to original size. recommend for summer trips but my feet did get cold as temperatures went below 35f at night while sleeping"

Q&A

How long to air dry? 2-4 hours or overnight or 1-2 days?
We recommend machine drying, but if air drying is preferred, it can take 1-2 hours in dry heat outdoors, and 3-6 hours to overnight indoors in a humid environment!
Size guide, couldn’t find it. I’m a 15 wide shoe size. Would an XL fit?
Hi Michael! Our size chart is available here: https://darntough.com/pages/size-chart Size XL is for size 12.5-14.5 shoe size.
