  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort.

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

The first pair I bought

"The first pair I bought years ago were so good, I decided I wanted another pair. I am a competitive disc golfer and I can’t remember a tournament in the last 4 years where I wasn’t wearing my darn tough socks. Cushion, breathability. They are warm in the winter in England and yet still comfortable in the summer in Texas. Thank you for helping me feel confident in my footwear on the course."

— Kevin S. (5/5)

Best Socks in my dresser!

"These are the most comfortable socks I’ve ever owned! I wear a size 11.5 or 12 shoe depending on the brand. I got the large men’s hiker midweight. The size and cushion are just right. Darn Tough socks are more expensive than a pack of crew socks from a big box store. But I think I’m going to have to gradually replace all of my cotton socks with Darn Tough merino wool socks. They really are THAT good!"

— Kent B. (5/5)

Great Socks

"I got these for a trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in NM. They performed very well. We hiked 75 miles in 10 days often in wet conditions. They held up great and I didn’t have any blisters or feet problems unlike most of my crew. With the fantastic warranty, Darn Tough are worth the investment for hikers."

— Luke S. (5/5)

Best socks you’ll ever own.

"Cannot say enough good things about these socks. They fit great, they stay in place, they are soft and comfortable on your feet, and are literally never stinky. I’m on my feet up to 18 hours a day some days and love the added cushion these socks provide. The quality is so good I can’t imagine ever using the lifetime guarantee."

— Adam H. (5/5)

Literally the only socks I

"Literally the only socks I will wear. I finally wore out a few pairs after 5+ years of wear so the quality is exceptional. I got a few new pairs through the warranty claim and the process was really simple and I’m so stoked to have a few fresh pairs of new socks for work (wearing steel toe boots on concrete floors all day) and hiking/ mountain biking. My favorite socks and the comfort is top notch."

— Lyle B. (5/5)

Perfect fit, comfort, value

"I've jumped into the deep end with Merino wool, and I've been systematically replacing my entire hosiery arsenal with Darn Tough socks. The fit, comfort, and thermoregulation are unmatched by any of the "6 pairs for $25" packs of synthetic socks, regardless of the brand. I've been through Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, and others, and they simply don't compare. I'd rather pay $25 for a single pair of Darn Tough socks that I can replace for life than spend $25 every year for a new pack of inferior socks."

— Pandalero (5/5)

I've jumped into the deep

"I've jumped into the deep end on Merino wool and I am systematically replacing my entire hosiery arsenal with Darn Tough socks. The fit, comfort, and thermoregulation of Darn Tough is unmatched by any of the "six pairs for $25" packs of synthetic socks. I've gone through Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, and others. I’d rather spend $25 on a single pair of Darn Tough socks that are replaceable for life than spend $25 every year on a pack of inferior socks."

— Jarrett M. (5/5)

Too Early for Final Review

"It is somewhat premature to give a final review since I am about to put them through their first wash following wash instructions. So far, they have been comfortable to wear, tight fitting and have kept my feet quite warm on my daily walks here in Maine. Ask me again in another month and I am sure I will be able to give a Five-Star review. James McMahon, Kennebunk, Maine."

— James M. (3/5)

Durable and Comfortable

"These are the only socks that I can wear over and over again without washing. I wear them for long periods of time, on trails, in harsh work environments, and I can rewear them several times before having to switch to another pair. I travel for long periods of time, but I only need to pack a few pairs of these, and I am good to go. Midweight is my go to for everyday use, no matter the weather."

— Thomas B. (5/5)

Men's Hiker Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Socks, mint green

"I have been happy with Darn Tough socks for years, especially the Men's Hiker Boot FullCushion Midweight Hiking Socks. I ordered two pair of these mint green Hiker micro Crew in XL, my usual size. I sent them back as they felt smaller than XL and were tight and difficult to put on. Not sure why?"

— Dennis D. (1/5)

Q&A

What sock would you recommend for sports activities like basketball or baseball?
We would recommend the Men's Element Micro Crew socks which will be the closest to a typical gym or sports sock, and I would recommend the Men's Westerner if you're looking for an over the calf style. These will be the closest to Basketball and Baseball styles and available in unisex sizing!
I have a size 9.5 hiking Boots and my size L is really tight ,should I go to Xl ?
We would recommend going with a more relaxed style as opposed to a larger size, which will mainly change the fit from heel to toe. Our Tactical styles offer a lot of stretch, and so do the socks knit with Twisted Yarn, which you can find by searching "Twisted yarn" in our search bar!
I recently bought a pair of these hiker crew mid weight socks. I had very high hopes based reviews and friends’ recommendations. Essentially, they do not fit right. I wear a 11 W mens hiking boot and sneaker, 10 1/2 W dress shoe. I bought a size L based on your chart. They are fine in the toe and heel, but tight and bunched on top of my ankle. I have worn them 3 times hiking and they not comfortable. Expensive socks ought to be the favorites. Not so much. What to do?
Hi Kevin, It looks like Aoife reached out to you on Monday. Do you still need assistance? If so, please email support@darntough.com and we will be glad to help!
Where do you put your warranty code when getting new socks on the website?
Hi Joseph. We've reached out to you directly via email! Darn Tough Vermont Support Team 877-327-6883 support@darntough.com
How do I get them to New Zealand?
Unfortunately, due to trademark issues in AU/NZ, we are unable to offer direct sales at this time. Some folks in the region order directly with us using a freight forwarder such as Shopmate. They can also be purchased through https://www.backcountry.com/darn-tough and they offer shipping to Australia as well.
