If you redesign one of the most popular socks in the line you better come correct. Increased breathability with mesh panels on top of the foot, a new smooth ribbing upper that stays put forever, and extended cushion over the Achilles - just a few heavy additions to one of the lightest hike socks out there.

Height: Micro Crew

Weight: Lightweight

Pairs With: Hiking shoes, trail runners, fresh mountain air

  • 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.

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

Best Socks on the Market

"These are the best all around socks I've ever bought. They keep my feet cool in the summer, warm in the winter. They fit all of my boots, but aren't rough against my feet. They worked great in Alaska, and they work great in Missouri too. My go too socks I'll buy more of in the future."

— Michael K. (5/5)

Great lightweight hiking sock

"I frequently hike 10+ miles at a time and I wanted to try a thinner sock for warm summer days that and also so that they wouldn't take up too much room in my boots. They were plenty cushioned and not too warm. I will only be buying lightweight socks from now on. Probably not suitable for hiking under 60 degrees Fahrenheit but otherwise my favorite hiking sock ever."

— Noah F. (5/5)

Make a difference

"I have always had cotton socks and supper sweaty feat. And it has never been an isue until recently where I have been walking 10-18k steps a day in work boots. It results in hot, tired and smelly feat. I was gifted a pair of shorter darn tough socks years ago and I never got into them. But my feet have been getting sore, raw from rubbing and sweat so I decided to bite the bullet on some lighter weight taller socks. Very noticeable. Feet are still hot due to leather work bolts but my feet have felt better. Just commited to a full weeks worth and I suspect I will be buying more styles. The hiking socks are great for work boots."

— Matthew H. (5/5)

Excellent

"Excellentes chaussettes de randonnée. Les meilleures à mon avis. Confort inégalé. Aucun point de pression. Excellent site marchand, à l'écoute du client, et très réactif suite à un problème de livraison."

— CLAIRE C. (5/5)

BEST SOCKS EVER!!!!

"I usually never do reviews but I like these socks so much I had to. I wear these for 12 hours everyday at work doing construction and there the most comfortable socks I've ever worn plus my feet dont get all mushy in my work boots like previous sock I've worn. when I take my boots off at the end of the day my feet are nice and dry and the socks and my boots dont smell it's amazing! I wear each pair twice before I wash them you could get away with three or four times but after the third they start to smell a little bit very little but it's there so I keep it to two times. I never would have imagined wearing socks twice before washing them especially to work but it's got to be the Merino wool or something. Darn tough socks is all I wear now. You could say they're a little expensive but all the benefits plus a lifetime warranty they are well worth the price and there MADE IN THE 🇺🇸"

— Christopher W. (5/5)

If you want the best Get darn tough!

"This is my first pair of this model. I usually buy the medium thick ones for my work boots. I bought these to fit in my vans. They fit in them perfectly. Only complaint is the instep is tight. ( the top of the foot at the bend. ) but they stretch as I wear making them ok. The solid black ones are tighter than the others. I may send them back if they become a big issue. But even with that minor issue darn tough are the best and my favorite! I've warranted out several pair and it's easy! New socks for free. Takes years to wear them out though. Best socks I've ever had!! Thank you !!"

— Matt S. (5/5)

Hard to justify the cost.

"I needed a tough pair of socks to hike Mt Fuji. I did not find the design of the sock to provide any additional support. I did not find the material to be any tougher than a pair of boot socks that I bought for day two of the trek. The darn tough socks already show wear at the tip. An adequate sock but not for the price."

— Jonathan E. (2/5)

Excellent Long Distance Hiking Sock

"Recently wore this sock to complete a single day 22 mile round trip, 6,660 foot ascent of Mount Whitney in the Eastern Sierra. I paired this with Superfeet Hike insoles and Salewa Mid Wildfire shoes. The extra cushion is fantastic, and the socks were highly breathable. I hope they are just as durable as all of the reviews suggest!"

— Steven G. (5/5)

Great socks, great price

"I like Darn Tough Socks and Expert Voice makes them affordable. They also make for a fashionable/durable alternative to white socks when I wearing shorts."

— JON L. (5/5)

A great investment for my tootsies!

"Very comfortable. Nice cushioning in toe and heel. Helps protect against corns, callouses and feels like pillows for my plantar fasciitis."

— James B. (5/5)

Just bought a pair and wanted to wash them before wearing. Washed them in cold water and when I pulled them out of the washer, they stink. So, why do they stink before I've had a chance to wear them?
