If the supernatural wore socks, surely this bundle would be abducted first. Comfortable, soft, and moisture-wicking, these Merino knits might not trigger a response from the Men in Black, but they will protect your feet with durability that transcends time and space.

Height: Micro Crew, Quarter
Weight: Midweight
Pair with: Hiking boots, trail runners, foggy lake monster sightings
Style Number: 5014, 1959

A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort.
Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
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 using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.
Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Cushion

These micro crew hiking socks feature soft terry loops underfoot and targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles - our most popular cushion style. Micro crew sock cushion map showing cushion underfoot

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.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 46 reviews.

Finally socks that work for me

"I love these socks! I do a lot of hiking and walking . I have painful feet and need socks that provide good cushioning and not roll around on my foot, being a woman with a size 11 foot I always have trouble finding female socks that fit at all and men's socks that don't spin around on my foot, with these they feel supportive on my foot, provide a perfect cushion while not changing the way my shoes fit and they stay in place all while getting to enjoy cute colors and patterns. Thanks, these socks are, "darn tough""
