The Hunt for Warmth Is Over

Merino Wool hunting socks are the best decision you can make outside of proper scouting. While they are knit to keep you warm, the way wool regulates with your body temperature, you’ll never be too warm. Even if you're packing your feet into rubber boots, the moisture wicking properties will keep sweat off your feet, and staying dry will keep you warm. And if you're at deer camp for the week, they are naturally odor resistant, so even if your party doesn't notice, you can appreciate the wildlife won't either.

Reviews

Firefighter approved

"Great socks!! I own about 10 pairs of these socks and about another 20 pairs of other darn tough socks. As a wildland firefighter spending countless hours in these socks I greatly appreciate the top notch quality of your product. I advise all our new firefighters to buy a pair and let themselves be the judge. Let’s just say they end up buying more!"

my mountain climbing socks

"I am an early 20s adult male, 5'8", and weighing 165. went on a 6 mile hike up a mountain with the peak temperature reaching 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I chose a medium sock and it fit like a glove without being constricting and it kept my feet warm but not sweaty. the stitching is durable and it form fits to the foot well. I experienced no chaffing and would wear these socks again, and again, and again. I use darn tough socks for hiking, hunting, and everyday work. these socks are a great addition."

— ananias c. (5/5)

comfortable

"I gave this sock an almost perfect score only because it's a very comfortable sock. it's great for the winter and to be honest I've worn them almost everyday since even in the summer. the wool doesn't smell after you use it even if it's 100 degrees out. the only down sides are in you wear them with a stiffer boot then can cause rub. and my one pair ripped right at the top where I was pulling them up from, but great news is they have a lifetime guarantee 💯 👌🏼. so I'll be getting new socks soon! I bought my fiance a few pairs because she lives in Japan and walks a lot and she burns through socks. she has hers for almost a year and a half and they are just as comfortable and have as much cushion as when I bought them for her. they breath easy and dry quickly. highest recommendations."

Best socks

"I have been wearing these socks for over 10 years winter and summer. I work in construction in the with the moisture away from my feet and our padded and keep their shape. I will not purchase any other sock and yes, they are Darn Tough."

— Scott R. (5/5)

Great Quality American made must buy.

"I can’t review the Socks for warmth because it’s spring here. But the quality is amazing to see truly American made socks. Fit and comfortable but yes I can wait until next winter to verify Warmth. . Lol I will be purchasing more items for family members and myself. The quality of manufacturing is much better than any socks I own."

— Gary M. (5/5)

Great socks

"The socks feel soft, my feet were warm. When out working they provide the support on my calves. When taking off my socks at the end of the day my feet were dry. They did not sweat. I was able to wear my socks 3 days with no odor. They were perfect for breaking in my new boots."

— Terry M. (5/5)

I really can't say anything

"I really can't say anything about these socks since they were bought as a gift for a friend who hunts. I'm assuming they will perform fabulously though since my other socks from Darn Tough are so nice."

— Amanda C. (4/5)

Great pair of socks

"Great fit, superior comfort , wear these all day long . Good warmth in winter weather too! Compression helps lot and the feel great, don’t sag"

— GARY S. (5/5)

Favorite winter socks

"I started wearing Darn Tough socks exclusively when working fire shifts because then my feet don't stink when I'm stuck in the same socks for 24 hour shifts. These heavyweight socks are great for keeping my toes a bit warmer when in my steel toe duty boots. Pro tip, any Darn Tough socks are also great for camping or on wildland mobilizations because if you can't wash them, just let them air out for 24 hours and they are good to go again."

— Samantha D. (5/5)

Heavyweight Hunting Socks

"I've been wearing the Heavyweight hunting socks for a number of years now. These are my go to socks in the winter for everyday wear. They fit great, provide plenty of warmth, and are very comfortable. These are the most durable socks I've ever owned. After three years there's still no sign of wear and tear. I highly recommend these socks."

— Steven H. (5/5)

Q&A

What’s the “new tech” in the OTC heavyweight hunting sock? Also in the pictures there are 2 different color green socks displayed (one with orange, the other has no orange). Which picture is accurate?
The new tech in our Over the Calf hunting socks comes in the nylon reinforcements! We've added more nylon in common wear areas to make the socks tougher than ever. The most up-to-date picture will be the one with the orange mountain top and orange vertical lines on the top of the foot!
I’m interested in the heavyweight over the calf hunting sock. Do you recommend wearing a liner with these or just the sock by itself?
No liners needed. Long ago people used sock liners to compensate for socks that fit poorly, but you won’t find that problem with Darn Tough socks.
I wear 9 1/2 - 10 which sock would fit the best?
Some customers who fall on the upper end of a size run do choose to size up due to the snug, performance fit of our socks.
