Named after a 70’s punk band that travelled and performed at lean-tos along the Appalachian Trail, the Van Grizzle is seasoned for sure. Actually, we just made that up… but what’s pure fact is that these knits are grizzly by nature. Tough, too. Moose, bears, even trout—the van grizzles on.

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

Greatest of all time, socks

"I got these socks because they represent Darn Tough perfectly because they are the GOAT - greatest of all time. Even though this is obviously a bighorn sheep, there was no mountain goat socks available. So I went for the next best thing. I love the color scheme and the length and the cushion."

— Sean I. (5/5)

I'm wearing a pair of

"I'm wearing a pair of Vangrizzle socks right now. They are comfortable and wear well. I have worn a hole in the heel of boot socks forever. I did after a couple years with these too, but the warranty is phenomenal. I have returned 2 pairs and the warranty was a no questions asked procees. Thanks to Darn Tough."

— Thomas S. (5/5)

I'm soon to be 72

"I'm soon to be 72 years old. I'm a retired Paramedic/Firefighter after 30 years of service and work currently as an Armed Security Officer. I cannot remember wearing such a comfortable sock. The Tactical boot sock is great with my cowboy boots and the midweight hiking sock works very well with my Security duty boots, very pleased, we'll see how they hold up. Best Darn Sock yet. 👍"

— Ronald E. (5/5)

The Darn Tough American Bison Socks

"These are fantastic! I am not new to Darn Tough, so I was not shocked. They come a bit stiff, but after a few wears and a wash, it becomes super soft but remains durable. I really love how vibrant the red is on my Bison pattern, I hope it stays that way for a long time. The best part is how comfortable these are. Some wool hiking socks make my legs itchy because I have hairy legs. But Darn Tough have very fine threading that do not cause itch. In fact, I can spend an entire day in them and forget I am wearing them. I mean that in a good way, of course."

— Lucas A. (5/5)

Baller!

"Really nice sock. Everything you’d expect from the best sock maker in the world. Beautiful colors that I can’t wait to show off on trail."

— Matthew L. (5/5)

Purchased for my son .

"Purchased for my son . He loves them . His feet sweat and wool socks typically make this worse. The darn tough socks wick away the moisture and keep his feet dry !"

— Kathryn S. (5/5)

Best Gift!

"These are a gift for my nephew. He is am avid outdoors person and will love them for sure!"

— Jane M. (5/5)

Darn Tough

"I was looking for some darn tough socks, so I bought these Darn Tough socks. They seemed a little large to begin with (I'm 42/UK8), but after a single wash fitted perfectly. I go through socks like an FC goes through doughnuts, so we'll see as time goes on. So far so good."

— Timothy R. (5/5)

Excellent all-rounder for moderate cold weather

"These quickly became my favorite pair of cold-weather socks for lounging at home and for wearing with boots. The knit and cushioning are thick, but not so thick it can't fit into a regular boot (or house slipper). The insulation around the ankle is perfect, since that area tends to get cold easily. It's hard to pick a favorite artistic pattern from Darn Tough, but these are in the running for sure."

— JACOB G. (5/5)

I WILL NOT WEAR ANYTHING

"I WILL NOT WEAR ANYTHING BUT DARN TOUGH. WARM BOOT SOCKS FOR THE WIN HERE!!!! For going on 12 years now, I have not purchased any socks unless it's Darn Tough. Dress, casual, outdoors. . . . they have it all covered. Most comfortable sock on earth. Warranty is ROCK-SOLID!!!"

— Ralph W. (5/5)
