  • Men's no show socks average 9 cm from heel to cuff - expect them not to show much above the top of a low hiking shoe.
  • 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

Long time fan of Darn

"Long time fan of Darn Tough. New to the no show or shorter sock though. I bought 5 different pairs and ended up with this one as my favorite solely (no pun intended) because of the cushioning it provides vs the other lightweight socks. I will be ordering more for sure."

— John B. (5/5)

I have a few pair

"I have a few pair of regular wear Darn tough socks for work, but I got these to see if there would be an appreciable difference for the walks in the woods I do with my dogs. These definitely feel more cushioned, without feeling like there's any extra bulk or any change to the fit of my shoes. I continue to be impressed by the feel, fit and comfort of these socks. And considering the prices of everything these days, these are a great value. I will be getting more of them, since they are comfortable for every day wear as well as hiking. Thanks much for putting in the effort to make a great product. That is rare these days."

— Michael G. (5/5)

Somehow way tighter than the quarter and crew

"I'm an avid DT micro crew wearer, in mid, light weights and in mid weigh quarter socks. These, even in XL are so tight on the top of my feet that the two pairs I bought (black and blue) cause my foot to fall asleep when wearing. Back to the drawing board finding a low cut daily driver. Maybe I got a bad run, but the sock fits everywhere except across the top of the foot at the bend."

— Josh (3/5)

Doesn't last very long

"1 hole on one sock and another one forming at the same spot on the other sock after maybe 20 use. Not very durable."

— Thomas L. (1/5)

Perfect socks for hot summer

"Perfect socks for hot summer weather. I wear 9. 5/10 shoe and large fits great. Socks breathe well and keep feet cool working all day. Will definitely buy more to rotate in to my summer clothes"

— Nick B. (5/5)

Great socks

"These are surprisingly good. They don’t slip down. They fit great. No extra material. They are so comfortable I forget I have them on. These are premium socks that will last."

— Stephen B. (5/5)

Great, snug fitting socks

"I love these socks! They fit so snug and just hug my feet. I first bought these a few years ago and I've come back for more. They wear so well and even after dozens of washes, they retain their snug fit."

— Eric B. (5/5)

JLK’s new socks - 2026

"I’ve only wore my new socks a few times but I find them very comfortable, lightweight and cool during our late Spring weather."

— John K. (5/5)

Men’s light hiker no-show socks

— Mark S. (5/5)

Great sock keeps feet comfortable,

"Great sock keeps feet comfortable, dry and odor free."

— Aiden P. (5/5)

Q&A

I get easily cold and frequently wear a couple pairs of "regular" (cotton?) socks during winter. Are these socks helpful for keeping feet warm during wintertime?
Hi Lake, for thick and warm you might best enjoy our Men's Home Base Shorty Heavyweight Lifestyle Sock - https://darntough.com/products/mens-merino-wool-home-base-shorty-heavyweight-lifestyle-socks?variant=43813140889786
Is it $17 per pair or is it a pack?
Hey Joe, for $17 you will receive one pair of matching socks covered by our Lifetime Guarantee! We sell a few pack items on our website, but that will specifically be mentioned in the title.
How do these particular socks differ from the Lightweight Cushion No Show Hiker socks you also offer?
