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

I actually bought these for

"I actually bought these for my grand daughter but I have many pairs of Darn Toughs as they are so well made, long lasting and comfy. I can wear them several times without washing (probably helps them last longer) and they never have an odor. Love the patterns. My husband and I only wear Darn Tough socks!"

— Karen W. (5/5)

Bought it again.

"These socks work great with my trail shoes, and the quarter height helps with debris getting into you shoes. I usually wear the no show tab and I am being persuaded toward the quarter height each time I wear it. I like them so kuch I got another pair. This sock is very comfortable and looks great with my shoes."

— Michelle M. (5/5)

Great socks

"I really like them. I have worn them several times and washed them once. I washed them inside out inside of a mesh bag in cold water. They came out great. The socks are very comfortable and fit very well. I will be buying more. They are perfect for the summer ."

— Diane C. (5/5)

Best socks ever

"These are wonderfully light summer socks and I’m sure I will wear them a lot on warm days. I wear sandals all summer but always with socks. These are perfect for the hottest days. I have Darn Toughs of every weight that is offered and I wear the ones most appropriate for the weather and conditions I’m in. I even have my original pair that I wore when I walked to Georgia in 2015, a thousand miles."

— Sheila G. (5/5)

Great hiking sock. Just high

"Great hiking sock. Just high enough that rocks or dirt won’t get into your sock. And not so tall that you’ll have bad sock tan lines. Perfect weight for summer, spring and fall hiking. Comfort is unmatched. Darn tough socks are the only socks I’ll hike in."

— Anne B. (5/5)

The light hiker socks are

"The light hiker socks are only the second pair of Darn Tough socks I've had. I have picky feet, and Darn Tough socks are the only socks I've ever owned that make my feet happy in every pair of shoes I own, and they stay happy regardless of what I'm doing. Whether I'm working in the garden, walking, hiking, my feet are comfortable. When my feet are comfortable, my knees and back are more comfortable. I've had my first pair for years. Despite the wear, they look and feel like they did when I first got them. They've been on countless vacations and outlasted at least two pairs of hiking shoes. They even kept my feet happy when they trudged with me in a pair of Sloggers for a couple of miles on the beach in Oregon."

— Janet D. (5/5)

Perfection

"I replaced three pairs of ancient socks with fabuluou new ones in the perfect Darn Tough warrantee progtram and I could not be happier with the exchange process and the perfect size and weight hiking socks I am now wearing. What a great company!"

— Martha (5/5)

These socks fit great and

"These socks fit great and seem to be high quality! The height is helpful because it's not too high but yet it keeps the dust out of your shoes. Planning to wear these for walking the Camino de Santiago in the summer paired with trail runners. No smell after multiple wears."

— Rachel F. (5/5)

Great hiking socks

"I love these for easy hikes, they work well with my hiking shoes."

— Susan B. (5/5)

Great everyday sock

"Love this light hiker… I’m wearing it as an everyday sock with my tennis shoes for standing and moving all day as a PE teacher."

— Becky G. (5/5)
