  • Women's no show socks average 7 cm from heel to cuff - expect them not to show much above 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.

Warranty replacement experience

"I love these socks! They are comfortable, they do not slip down into my shoes and they look great. I am greatly pleased with the service I received when I used your guarantee warranty. It was easy and the turn around was very quick. This is the first time I have had to use it and I’ve told several people of your excellent service."

Super fit and so comfy

"Very comfortable and feel good on my feet. They are a little heavier than I expected, but they fit with my new shoes. They haven’t made my feet feel overheated either. The colors are good. Would love them in white."

Q&A

How much does one pair of these socks weigh and how long do they take to dry on a line (not in a dryer). Asking for a through hiking trip.
Hi Nancy! These socks weigh approximately 2.128 ounces each. When it comes to air drying, the time can vary depending on weather conditions, but we generally recommend allowing about 8 hours for them to fully dry. In the backcountry, we suggest gently pressing out excess moisture with your palms, then laying them on a rock or hanging them from a tent line to dry. If you hand wash them in the morning, a great trick is to attach them to the outside of your pack while you hike—they’ll dry as you go!
Are these the closest I can get to a THICK running sock? I need a no-show sock that is at least mid-weight. I don't see any here on the site.
Hi Laura! Our T4016 No Show Midweight Tactical Sock with Cushion is the thickest No-Show sock we knit! Also, our Women's Element Quarter Lightweight Athletic Sock has really nice cushioning on the bottom of the feet, as another style to check out😎
Are these available in black anywhere? I always hate when mens and women's colors are different for some reason :/
Hi Mari, This style is not available in Black at this time, but for similar Black alternatives, we offer Women's Element No Show Tab Lightweight Athletic Sock, T4016 No Show Midweight Tactical Sock with Cushion, and Women's Run No Show Tab Ultra-Lightweight Running Sock

Hi Christine, we're sorry to hear this! We've reached out to you directly via email. Darn Tough Vermont Support Team 877-327-6883 support@darntough.com
I wear a size 7 shoe and am unsure if I should get a S or M in hiking socks? I worry about being too tight with a S and too big with a M. Recommendation?
Some customers who fall on the upper end of a size run do choose to size up due to the snug, performance fit of our socks. We know it can be tricky to shop for socks online so we got you covered with free return shipping for exchanges or returns for 90 days on all orders placed on our website, just in case! Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if there is anything else we can do to assist you. Darn Tough Vermont support@darntough.com 877-327-6883
