    These socks are awesome. They are comfortable and keep my feet dry. When I pull them out of the wash they are barely damp and dry quick. I only wear them for backpacking wearing a light sock liner with them. So far have a 100 miles on them and they still feel new. With the lifetime warranty you cant beat them. Well worth the money

    For my feet these are the best socks. For the comfort and wicking of sweat. Been a fan for years

    These socks live up to your expectation for cushioned comfort and if they perform like other darn tough socks I have purchased in the past, the durability far exceeds the other brand socks in my drawer!

    Im not what you would consider an avid hiker, but my daughter drags me along on some pretty challenging trips. Never realized what a difference good socks would make and was actually skeptical to spend this much on a pair - but I am sold. These are so much better than my regular cotton sport socks. Kept my feet very comfortable and dry; no rubbing on my hiking boots. I was so impressed I bought a couple more Darn Tough pairs to use while I referee football.

    The product description says 61% merino, but the product itself says 59%, which is bothersome even if the difference is small. The price is for just one pair of socks, which is more expensive that other brands with a higher merino percentage offering two or three pairs.

    Snug but stretchy, not constrictive. Mild difficulty trying to get my foot in properly aligned the first time. Sock is great at not shifting, so adjusting once my foot is in is difficult. Ill get better. Other than the price, loving them. But Ive gone through so many socks, I just want to stop worrying about socks. Finally my feet no longer get clammy in my drafty apartment.

    They are the bees knees you jive turkey. But seriously, they provide a good amount of cushion, the material is thick and feels very durable. Ive owned them for months now and they are still as nice as when I first got them. Since they dont seem to wear through like other socks I think these may actually save money over time (still too early for me to tell for sure). But I will be buying more of these here socks I tell ya.

    Ive worn them in 100 degree weather and full humidity in the jungles of africa, on sidewalks in 40 degree weather in the USA without shoes, and with sandals when it is raining instead of pretty much any other kind of shoe (other than rain boots). When it is hot, they wick sweat away and keep your feet cool. When cold, they dont transfer heat from any surface- almost as good as slippers. When wet, they still dont transfer heat and dry on your feet. I wear them every day and they never smell, even when I wash them only every 2 weeks or so. They are soft, super roomy in the toes, cushioned, and dont constrict and leave marks on your ankles. The right color combinations make them appropriate for formal wear as much for hiking- in both cases, severely reduces blisters. I seriously dont understand why people DONT wear these socks. I wear through them usually every 6-8 months and always buy new ones because I want to support this company! BEST SOCKS EVER. (btw... you should NOT put them in the dryer. They will dry on their own in an hour, even quicker if you put them on. You shouldnt wash them after one use either- this is wool and the washer will break down the fibers quicker.)

    Without question, these are the best socks available. Comfortable, long lasting, warranty that last forever, etc. They may cost more, but in this case, you do get what you pay for.

    Was 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.

MICRO CREW HEIGHT

The micro crew is a shorter, more concise take on the traditional crew height. Peeks just above the top of a standard hiking boot.

ULTIMATE COMFORT

No 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 DENSITY

The 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 SEAMLESS

Undetectable 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.

SUSTAINABILITY

Darn Tough aims to improve the well-being of our community by locally designing and manufacturing the most comfortable, durable, best fitting socks while continuously reducing our environmental impacts.

MATERIALS IN OUR SOCKS

Every material we use in our socks has been carefully chosen and tested to meet our rigorous durability standards. We currently use natural and synthetic fibers, and only 3 types of fiber per sock. As you’d expect, we are actively investigating and testing new fibers and yarn blends that do not appear in our current products. We’ve prioritized Merino wool throughout our product lines and our goal of producing the most responsibly made product is reflected in our commitment to the success of the Responsible Wool Standard.

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
