> 3 dayUsed mainly for hiking, the durability of these socks are even better than some synthetic ones (for example, some X-Socks have only last 15 days of hiking, whereas in same condition, the same Darn Tough pair is still in used). Each experience being personnal, here is my feedback after near one year of use them in different situation (every day life, sports, hikes any weather) : Pros : - comfortable (no blisters) - durable - good odor mitigation, not as best as true merinos, due to usage of polyamid to reinforce them, but far better than any synthetic socks on this topic. - can be used 3 seasons Cons : - dry slowly, but it is expected due to the material

Greater than one weekJust the right cushion on this sock. Height is just right for wearing with shorts in the summer. Fits well: size Large meets my expectations and works well for me (size 11 shoe).

> 3 dayWas not expecting this to be one pair of socks. They seem to be good quality if you’re looking for one good pair of socks but not it all what I was expecting.

> 3 dayThe size of these socks is really weird. My shoe size is men 9, so I bought the socks in medium (shoe size 8 - 9.5). The heel of the sock is way too high, not over my heel but about 3-4 inches higher, over my Achilles tendon area. This incorrect position of the socks heel leads to the sock bulging and being uncomfortable when the bulge rubs between my shoe and my skin. Also, the quality isnt worth the $18 price. I found several loose threads. This is something Id be okay with in a regular, cheap sock, but not at this price level. Overall, Ive owned a number of expensive hiking socks before, and these are the worst so far. Look elsewhere.

> 3 dayI’ve worn Smartwool no shows for over 25 years. I got these to wear with hiking boots. They are solid socks my only complaint would be they don’t seem to have much elasticity to them. They don’t stretch to fit your foot like other Merino wool products I’ve used, specifically Smartwool. I can’t sing their performance but they won’t be replacing my Smartwool socks for ever day wear.

|---|---|---|---|
MICRO CREW HEIGHTThe micro crew is a shorter, more concise take on the traditional crew height. Peeks just above the top of a standard hiking boot. |
ULTIMATE COMFORTNo slipping, no bunching, and no blisters. The ultimate fiber for breathability and comfort in all conditions, the All Weather Performance means cool in the summer, warm in the winter. |
CUSHION DENSITYThe Work collection primarily features midweight yarns due to their versatility in all environments and ultimate protection. The entire Work category features cushion underfoot while select styles use terry loops in the leg. |
TRUE SEAMLESSUndetectable seam fusion for an ultra smooth, invisible feel. Darn Tough uses high density knitting techniques, which means there are more stitches per inch. This leads to a more comfortable, durable, great fitting sock with no added bulk. |

SOCK CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
We live and work in Northfield, Vermont. Our backyard is the perfect testing ground to make the finest Premium All Weather Performance Socks. We ski, snowboard, hike, bike and run in the most unforgiving climate in the lower 48. It is under these conditions that we design, test and manufacture our socks.
STILL MADE IN VERMONT, USA
After so many decades why do we still knit every pair of our socks here in Vermont? We don’t do it because it’s the easy thing to do—we do it because it’s the right thing to do. We do it because for us, it’s the only way to do it. There are faster and cheaper alternatives but nobody ever outsourced anything for quality.
- ONE FAMILY - We are family owned. For 40 years we’ve been knitting socks in the Green Mountains
- ONE MISSION - Darn Tough is a family-owned, American manufacturer of end-use-specific socks.
- ONE MILL - Every step of the knitting process happens right here, by us, locally, in Northfield, VT
