Honestly, when the Men’s Health 2021 Outdoor Awards tagged our Number 2 sock as their Best Hiking Sock, we were moved. Personally, we think it’s the No. 1 sock when nature calls. Look closely at this hike sock and you’ll see what we mean. Either way, a blown-out seam should be the least of your worries. That’s why the Number 2 is also No. 1 when it comes to long-lasting toughness and active comfort as well.

Height: Micro Crew

Weight: Midweight

Pairs With: Hiking boots, hiking shoes, covert bathroom breaks

  • 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.
  • Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
  • 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

These socks fit great, are comfortable and seem to wear well

"I am wearing Darn Tough all the time now (thanks to Expert Voice) and with the different weights and profiles, they work really well. I like the quarter sock for activities like mountain biking, etc. and the crew for daily use and during the colder weather. I lightweight ones with no padding are not my favorite, but that's just personal taste!"

— Tyler T. (5/5)

The sock that does it all

"Perfect thickness and warmth for walking, hiking, or hanging on the couch. Adventures great and small are an everyday possibility. Sure do think my nephew will love the quality and that these are made in the USA!"

— Jane M. (5/5)

I keep buying Darn Tough

"I love the comfort and durability of Darn Tough Socks for Hiking, Skiing and every day use. I have them to be top notch and great value."

— Erik H. (5/5)

Toe a little square for

"Toe a little square for me. Excess material by little toe. Hard to pull on and stay snug. Perhaps because new. Best quality in every other aspect though."

— Magnus R. (3/5)

Simply the best

"Bought as a gift, but if they're like all my other pairs these are the best socks. Period. I'm on my feet for work all day and can't even go back to cotton, these socks are simply a cut above."

— Wes B. (5/5)

Seem a bit on the small and narrow side.

"I wear a 10 1/2 hiking boot, and I've purchased the "Close Encounters" sock (in large) before and it fit great. However, these "Number 2s" (also large, bought via Amazon) seemed narrower, a little thinner (in terms of both the material) and also shorter than the Close Encounters sock, so it was a bit of a stretch to get the sock on, and also to get the sock's heel over my heel (it almost feels like these were a medium size, but they were definitely marked "large" on the card they were attached to. They also seem to lack the cushioning of the Close Encounters sock. I wore them on a short 5 mile hike today and they just seemed a little tight and didn't feel as cushiony, but no real problems with them other than that. Hopefully wearing them will have stretched them out a bit and hopefully they won't shrink in the wash."

— Ian C. (2/5)

Fun!

"What a fun and funny design! Perfect for the men in your life."

— Lisa S. (5/5)

Great hiking and everyday socks

Great hiking socks

"Really comfortable, bought them for hiking but wear them all the time. Nice amount of padding and thickness."

— Thatchery D. (5/5)

OMG

"Attention Attention Go get these socks now they are the most comfortable things you will ever cover your feet with. It's like wearing clouds, if clouds were socks"

— Joseph B. (5/5)

Q&A

Is this the same sock as the 1466 besides the Color way? I recently bought 6 of the 1466 and I want more but I don’t want a bunch the same color way. Didn’t know if some thing besides the color way was different
Hi Lee! Yes, This style sock and style 1466 are both the same height and same weight just a different design!
Men's Number 2 Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Sock- Please, please, please, a zillion times please, make this sock in size small! The medium is too big for most of us women. I’ve asked before and will keep asking cause I just love this sock pattern. Just cracks me up!
We will definitely share your feedback and request with the team! Stay tuned!🧦
Is that an outhouse on the socks?
Hey Jan, it is indeed an outhouse! Drink from enough streams and you’ll eventually get an explosive reaction. Look closely at this hike sock and you’ll see what we mean. However, a blown-out seam should be the least of your worries. That’s why the Number 2 is #1 when it comes long-lasting toughness and active comfort.
Does this sock have the same cushioning level and tech as the ATC midweight trail sock? Wool, nylon and spandex content look similar. The ATC socks appear to have tighter knit around the calves. Would the ATC sock be more durable regarding bushes, rocks and other snags?
Hi Ian, the ATC and Number 2 styles are both Midweight Hiking socks that feature cushion under foot, around the toes, and heel. The biggest difference between them is the added designs. These styles will offer very similar comfort and durability.
How do you wash these socks--the ones that have at least partial wool?
We recommend washing your Darn Tough socks in cold or warm water and either line or tumble drying on low to no heat. While standard detergent is fine, it's best to stay away from fabric softener, Oxyclean, and bleach. Laundering inside out also helps fluff up the cushion layer which can flatten over years of use.
