The only way to make it from New Mexico to Alberta on foot is with a few pairs of unbelievably durable socks. When your feet are your preferred method of travel, your gear has to be CDT-approved. Merino Wool comfort and moisture wicking is a must when you're sloshing through streams and racking up mileage. We donate 5% of sales to support the Continental Divide Trail Coalition, so thru-hikers like yourself can keep on soul searching in the great outdoors.

  • 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.
  • If you're out there - crushing or cruising the Continental Divide Trail - we're with you and thank you for helping us give 5% back to the CDTC.
  • 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.

Worlds greatest socks!!!

"I really like the design and the fit of these socks. I’m on my feet 17 hrs a day and walk 5-7 miles a day. My feet sweat badly and the socks really make a big difference. I have 6-8 pairs of different designs and love every pair. You can’t go wrong with darn tough socks and the warranty is a big deal also."

Loving my CDT Micro Crew Lightweight Hiking Socks!

"I love my new CDT Micro Crew Lightweigh Hiking Socks! They have a great fit, impressive cushioning for long walks, hiking and even cycling! I've also found they have exceptional breathability and durability! I'm loving the fact they don't have a toe-seem, so I don't get blisters on my toes, like I sometimes do with socks with toe seams. The colors are just as advertised. They match up with the colors of my boots, and other gear. I've worn the socks in the Fall and Winter weather during light rain and snowy conditions, and I found them to keep my feet, warm and dry in all conditions! I highly recommend these socks!"

— Michael W. (5/5)
