Reviews

Cute pattern

"I got these for compression. Not as snug as Sockwell, but much cuter, and the foot doesn’t have that annoying toe seam."

— Misty W. (5/5)

Philmont Cavalcade Tough

"I used these socks at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. 40+ miles on horseback over 5 days naturally in cowboy boots and blue jeans. These over-the-calf-length socks provided comfort and protection from the seams of my jeans rubbing against my calves. The extra cushion and wool material combined to keep my feet dry in spite of pretty impressive heat. What's more, the socks did not seem to retain any foot odor at all. Between the horseback riding and additional hiking (sans cowboy boots), we easily surpassed the 50 miles to obtain the so-named award. Twelve days total, three pairs of socks, and comfy, healthy feet."

— Robert N. (5/5)

Great for boots

"Pretty and tall enough to wear with winter dress boots. I was looking for something warm & comfortable to wear during the winter while taking the bus to work. These are perfect!"

— Bethany R. (5/5)

I’ve tried a variety of

"I’ve tried a variety of sock for outdoor activities but the best I’ve found are Darn Tough. Whether I’m skiing, hiking, hunting, or working I have Darn Tough socks on my feet. My wife and kids do too! The unconditional lifetime guarantee isn’t bad either!"

— Jay P. (5/5)

I’m really loving these socks!

"I’m really loving these socks! The design is so pretty and the colors are not too bright, but still beautiful! I don’t ski or snowboard, but I love how these fit. They keep my feet and legs warm and also regulate the temperature so that I don’t overheat. I love the cushion as well. My feet are getting more sensitive to pressure and these help give me some cushion while allowing my feet to breathe a bit. They are fitted and give me light compression like many people have mentioned. If these are things that you are looking for, I would highly recommend these socks. I love Darn Tough socks and I definitely want to get more!"

— Melinda W. (5/5)

Weight

"The perfect weight for my needs"

— Steven S. (5/5)

Darn Tough for Life

"This is among my favorite pattern styles. I used this socks for hiking all over Iceland, Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, and the Lake District of England. The cushion helps keep my feet happy through the long day of walking. The order process was great; I needed help on a shipping issue and customer service was marvelous. I am so glad to be a Darn Tough socks girl."

— Kat G. (5/5)

Great socks

"Long time Darn tough user -1st pair of long ( over calf ) DT socks. Was skeptical they wouldn't keep my feet & legs warm enough as they are fairly thin - but they're perfect. Great under slim fitting boots higher boots."

— Jennifer Z. (5/5)

— Barbara B. (5/5)
