  • 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

Great Sock for Cold Weather

"This sock performs exceptionally well in wet, cold conditions. A little too thick for comfortable daily wear, but performs incredibly on the trail when the weather gets cold."

— Isaiah L. (5/5)

Close encounters of the quality kind!

"Bought these for my guy’s birthday and he loved them. Our son recommended Darn Tough hunting/hiking socks and my hubs said those were the BEST socks he’s ever had so I had to get him these fun ones as well! The quality is unmatched!"

— Tonya W. (5/5)

Love this one, got all

"Love this one, got all the colors available, details look really nice and of course the quality is unique. Can't match this brand."

— Tomas R. (5/5)

Best socks ever.

"Best socks ever. I swapped out all of my socks to DTS. I’m a walker and hiker. They are so comfortable and durable and fit my feet perfectly. Just buy a pair and try them."

— steve l. (5/5)

Business dress and/or hiking

"Was presenting at a conference in Scottsdale. These were great for business presentation and a quick change into hiking clothes to go hike Camelback Mountain"

— Donelo L. (5/5)

A great pair of socks!

"I'm very impressed with these "Close Encounters" socks which I purchased via Amazon - they took me on a 12 mile hike last week with no problems at all. They seemed very strong, cushioned my feet nicely, and they didn't shrink at all in the wash (when washing according to the instructions: I machine washed them in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out, then tumble dried them on low). I ordered two pairs for my daughter and another three pairs for myself. If I had to criticize them, I'd say they were a little tight in the ankle/calf area, but I'm sure they will loosen a bit with wear."

— Ian C. (5/5)

Wet socks bckpacking? NO Problem

"I really liked the midweight socks for the JMT. They are more cushion for the long days. 7 days 70 miles no blisters is a big win. They also maintain their softness despite the days of sweat and dirt. I was completely wet a couple of times but continued to hike without any blisters or discomfort"

— Mark V. (5/5)

A Gift He’ll Love—Because I Already Do!

"I’ve been a huge fan of Darn Tough socks for years—comfortable, durable, and incredibly well-made. I bought a pair for my husband as a gift so he could experience the same quality I love. The perfect gift for someone you want to treat to something truly great!"

— Malavika R. (5/5)

Best of the best!

"Wonderful socks in every possible way. Especially great for colder seasons with boots. Wear them, wash them, dry them — repeat. Highly recommended!"

— Herman K. (5/5)

New socks

"I really like my new socks. I like that I don't have to wash them after one day. I'm on my third day now and they are doing great!"

— Barry B. (5/5)
