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.

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)
