  • Silky soft Merino Wool is a natural choice for breathable, long-wearing comfort and effortless style.
  • Lightweight yarns create socks so smooth and comfortable you'll want to wear them all day, and the next.
  • Arch support designed to gently hug the foot and keep the socks comfortably in place.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.

All-Day Merino Wool Comfort

To say we knit with the finest yarns is both a statement of quality and comfort. Merino Wool yarn is indeed a fine yarn – thin, silky, nothing like rag wool. For our more casual socks and dress socks, we knit using our thinnest Merino with a watchful eye over a performance fit. This means our lifestyle socks are sublimely smooth and wrap your foot, truly seamlessly, without bunching or slipping. Add wool’s ability to stay dry, resist odor, and regulate temperature, and you have all-day comfort. At least.

Reviews

Great socks! Will buy more

"Comfortable and lightweight without feeling too thin. The mid calf height works well with most of my shoes and the wool blend doesnt get sweaty. Fit is snug but not tight."

— Daheng F. (5/5)

Ok think may be the

"Ok think may be the perfect sock. The weight and thinness of the sock are just right. They reach a good height on my calf and do not fall down."

— Saadia E. (5/5)

Very comfortable and my feet

"Very comfortable and my feet stay dry. Nice dress socks."

— Ken B. (5/5)

best socks

"darn tough socks are amazingly comfortable and durable. from everyday wear to camping, hiking and running they hold up well and perform as advertised."

— Gary H. (5/5)

Tight in the calf

"I only wear darn tough socks! For myself, I need more calf room. The socks are too tight in that area and it cuts off the circulation. So I cannot pull them up whin I wear boots. All other aspects of the socks are great."

— Breck K. (4/5)

Disappointed

"They are thicker than I prefer and too snug around calf"

— irene f. (3/5)

Long Time Wearer

"I have been a customer of Darn Tough for close to 20 years, and while I have tried other socks, I keep coming back because they are the most comfortable and durable. And for me, a pet peeve of socks is those that either are so tight they cut off circulation or so loose that they slide down your legs. I know, kind of silly, but I hate hiking up my socks all day. DT does neither of these things and is one of the few brands that manage to do so. Highly recommend!"

— Mark R. (5/5)

Great Fitting Darn Tough dress socks!! Lifetime Warranty

"I recently picked up a few pairs of Darn Tough Vermont men’s dress socks, and they’ve completely exceeded my expectations. The fit is spot-on—snug without being tight—and they stay in place all day without slipping. The merino wool blend is incredibly comfortable, breathable, and surprisingly durable for a dress sock. Even after long days on my feet, they still feel great. Add in their lifetime guarantee, and these are easily some of the best dress socks I’ve ever owned."

— Dan H. (5/5)

So far so good!

"Now this is the solidity I was expecting!"

— Pelle S. (5/5)

Perfect Every Day Socks!

"Replaced my old cotton socks that were bulky and only lasted a year with a pair of Darn Tough merino wool mid-calf socks and will never look back. They fit perfectly, feel great and last for days before washing as they don't retain foot odor. I chose a large based on the sizing chart which was an ideal size for me. Will buy a few more then recycle the cotton socks as cleaning rags."

— James K. (5/5)
