The Willoughby hiking sock might be named after Vermont’s most insta-spammable lake, but the real influencers are the sure-footed critters paddling across its buttery-soft, ribbed cuff. Dip into these lightweight Micro Crew height socks, knit with climate-controlling Merino Wool and cozy cushion underfoot, and you’ll be trekking on without fear of the dreaded swamp-foot that can lead to blisters.

Height: Micro Crew

Weight: Lightweight

Pairs With: Hiking boots, hiking shoes, a sense of exploration

Style Number: 5003

Men's micro crew socks average 21.5 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 15.5 cm above a low hiking shoe or just above a standard 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.
The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way
Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Style Number: 5003

Cushion

These micro crew hiking socks feature soft terry loops underfoot and targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles - our most popular cushion style.

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

Comfort and Style

"Great designs and even better craftsmanship! You can tell these socks are built to last from the second you put them on. They have the perfect amount of cushion without being too thick. I always get compliments, both on trail and off. I'd recommend them to anyone who's on the fence. Thanks Darn Tough!"

— Colby M. (5/5)

Solid socks great feel

"No regrets about buying these, I work in a warehouse with safety boots and covering easy 7k steps just at work and then I also ride motorbikes with bike type boots I needed socks that could handle the demands of botts that are not entirely the most breathable at work and ones that were on the road and handled summer heat and sweaty feet, my verdict? I'll be buying 5 or 6 more pairs, they are great I might go down a size as I wear EU 45 and got large but felt a little less fitted than I would have liked but by no means poor fitting just my personal preference, 100% recommend these, your Irish customer is delighted, Thank you very much Darn Tough"

— Shane D. (5/5)

Q&A

How long to air dry? 2-4 hours or overnight or 1-2 days?: We recommend machine drying, but if air drying is preferred, it can take 1-2 hours in dry heat outdoors, and 3-6 hours to overnight indoors in a humid environment!
Size guide, couldn’t find it. I’m a 15 wide shoe size. Would an XL fit?: Hi Michael! Our size chart is available here: https://darntough.com/pages/size-chart Size XL is for size 12.5-14.5 shoe size.
