Your best bud is a lightweight hiker with enough cushion to keep your feet in prime condition. If you make it to Canada, swash those socks immediately and start planning the next trip — there's always available mileage when your socks are unconditionally guaranteed for life. We donate 5% of sales to help support the Pacific Crest Trail Association.

  • 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 Pacific Crest Trail - we're with you and thank you for helping us give 5% back to the PCTA.
  • 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 - we can't imagine it any other way.
  • 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

The PCT Micro Crew Lightweight Hiking Socks!

"The PCT Micro Crew Lightweight Hiking Socks were a surprise to me for my birthday from my kids! They know I enjoy hiking and have the PCT on my bucket list, so the logo brought tears of joy to me when I saw it opening my present. I am impressed by the softness of these socks and their durability to wear all day at work or hiking in the woods is impressive!"

— Michael W. (5/5)

love them

"these are my ultimate fav. I wear them mostly all the time with my Solomon shoes. enough comfort and cushion to wear at work too. I can easily get more than a day before washing, not my presence of course but sometimes my shift work keeps me moving for an extended amount of time. one negative is that the dog hair seems to collect on them. . . otherwise they are great! buy them you won't regret it."

— L B. (5/5)

Great socks!

"Gave these to my son as a gift and he loves them. They are comfortable and last forever. He had just thrown away a pair so he said it was perfect timing. Glad he won't have to do that with Darn Tough socks."

— Jennifer H. (5/5)

— Robert E. (5/5)

My son asked for more

"My son asked for more of these for work. He likes the cushion, how they keep his feet dry, and I like that they don't smell like his other socks. We love all our Darn Tough socks!!"

— Sara L. (5/5)

Go To Sock

These socks are the best

"These socks are the best with amazing quality! I love that this supports our thru hike trails in the USA! Make sure to check sizing as it is a unisex sock."

— Jodi W. (5/5)

Great socks so far

"These socks seem great so far. The fit is snug but not tight and overall are very comfortable. They seem very well made and I hope to get a lot of use out of them."

— Anthony G. (5/5)

Your feet called

"They asked for more socks"

Micro Name with Macro Quality

"The words Micro and Lightweight suggest summertime use only, but I have found these socks to be suitable for year round Maine use except for the most frigid winter days. They are very comfortable yet tough as nails during hiking, yard work and lounging around activities. Simply an outstanding product that is a game-changer for me."
