This could just be your kid’s favorite sock. Which is great, because the Merino Wool knit is meant to last for … well, life. This kids’ hike sock runs a light profile and has a little extra cushion running above the achilles for all-day comfort. At some point you might as well overlook that they’re outside without shoes on.

Height: Micro Crew
Weight: Lightweight
Pair with: Hiking shoes, hiking boots, sneakers
Style Number: 3023
  • Kids' micro crew socks average 6 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 4 in. above a low hiking shoe or just above a youth 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.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
  • 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.

Reviews

Thick For Micro LightWeight

"The socks quality is not the expected level from DarnTough. The bottom started knotting after regular usage. Cushioning might be too thick for kids. It felt comfortable for my son. There were no odor which was amazing."

— Erdogan C. (3/5)

Switched

"I have been wearing another brand - exclusively - for many years. My wife insisted that I try a pair of Darn Tough socks. I finally gave in. After their second wearing, I ordered 4 more pairs. I have sorted through all of my other sock looking for the holes in the toes, and heels to throw away. I’m a new believer."

— Jake B. (5/5)

I love the fun bright

"I love the fun bright colors, in addition to the weight and quality of the socks. I have found the kid's large to be comparable in size fit to a woman's small, so I've expanded my shopping options accordingly. Thank you and keep up the great work. Darn Tough folks!"

— Sara H. (5/5)

Great fitting comfortable socks for kids!

"Excellent fit, style and comfort. My kids love these. They are their new favorite socks. An added bonus is that they don't wear out like all of their cotton socks do!"

— Chad W. (5/5)

Great for kids who get a lot of holes!

"I got these for my 7 year old son because he’s constantly getting holes in his socks. I love that these have a warranty so if it happens we’ll be taken care of! He usually wears a size 3 or 4 in kids so I got him a size large. He really likes these socks so I plan to get him another pair!"

— Katie P. (5/5)

Soft and comfy

"The highest quality kids socks, as far as we can tell. Thick and high quality. My son says they are soft and comfy."

— Noah B. (5/5)

Great socks

"My son loves these and only wants to wear darn tough. I will be stocking up on more pairs."

— Blake C. (5/5)

Excellent socks!

"Kids love them! They fit great and love the design!"

— Jeremy Z. (5/5)

Thin

"I'd rather have the padded floor because these were rather thin for me."

— Annie P. (3/5)

#1

"Got these for my wife. She loves her tough socks. Hikes all over with no blisters fits perfectly. Darn toughs are #1."

— Derek S. (5/5)
