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

For me, the perfect socks

"For me, the perfect socks are lightweight with cushion year round for everything. I wear no-shows or quarters in the summer, and micro crews the rest of the year. I have 16 pair of the micro crews and I wear each pair for a week before throwing them in the laundry. With all the different color combinations and designs, I love throwing them all into a big pile in my sock drawer, then reaching in blind to grab 2 socks and wearing whatever mismatch is in my hands for the entire week - loads of fun, especially when people notice and comment ;)"

— Scott T. (5/5)
