  • Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather.
  • Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
  • 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.

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.

— Lisa B. (5/5)

Great durable socks

"By far the best socks I’ve ever worn. They wear well, some I have had over 5 years & still in great condition. Wash & wear well. Very comfortable even in warm weather. Alwsys searching for new styles & patterns. Well worth the money!!"

Love my Vermont darn tough

"Love my Vermont darn tough hiking socks. They are the first thing on my feet every morning. My feet also love them! I tell everyone about them. Monica T."

— Monica T. (5/5)

Although these socks are more

"Although these socks are more expensive than your typical sock, every penny is worth it. I’ve worn these for field work and backpacking and they’ve been so comfortable the entire time! They are pretty smell resistant too, after backpacking for three days in the summer they only just started to smell. I would recommend this height if you want some ankle coverage but think the crew is too tall."

— Emma K. (5/5)

Great for Lounging in the House OR Cold Weather Hikes!

"I love this height of sock and so I'm so happy that Darn Tough makes Midnight quarter socks with the perfect amount of warmth, cushion, and breathability for pretty much any occasion. (These hug my feet so nicely that I usually wear them around the house and have pretty much forgotten about my old house shoes!)"

— Isaac S. (5/5)

Awesome, all the way around!

"What can I say about these socks? They check all the boxes. Cushion, warmth, breathability, they do it all. On top of that they are dead simple to wash and care for and my toes have never been happier! Only wish there were more designs/color schemes in this sock!"

I bought these for my

Q&A

In women’s sizes, if my shoe size is 9 1/2 or 10, should I chose a Medium or Large?
Hi Beth! Some customers who fall on the upper end of a size run do choose to size up due to the snug, performance fit of our socks. We know it can be tricky to shop for socks online so we got you covered with free return shipping for exchanges or returns for 90 days on all orders placed on our website, just in case!
Hi, are these hiking socks waterproof?
Hi Ash! While our socks aren’t waterproof, they do wick moisture and keep your feet dry and comfortable. Here’s an article that dives into how our moisture-wicking socks work!:https://darntough.com/blogs/the-alternate-stitch/merino-wool-makes-best-moisture-wicking-socks
How does these midweight socks perform in higher temperatures such as 80-90f? Will they overheat?
The Women's Hiker Quarter Midweight Hiking Sock will perform well in various temperatures, including higher temperature climates. Merino wool fibers regulate body temperature, and will not overheat.
Why doesn't Darn Tough make black hiking socks? I own several colors of Darn Tough hiking socks but what I really want is a pair of light or midweight quarter hiking socks in BLACK.
Hi Wendy! Sounds like our T4088 is just what you are looking for! You will find these in our Tactical category, which are sold in unisex sizing. If you wear a women's medium, you will find the same fit with our unisex small. If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out!
