  • Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather.

  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.

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 socks overall, just a bit of pinching at front of ankle.

"I'm a fan of the weight of these socks, as well as the fun design. I give it 4 stars, rather than 5, however, because I find with the hiking socks that it digs into my skin a bit at the front of my ankle when I first put them on. They relax after wearing them and it's not a problem - in fact, I own a half-dozen Darn Tough hiking socks, they're excellent quality overall."

— Sean C. (4/5)

So far so good.

"So far so good. Time will tell if these are as good as advertised. I can not make a real assessment this soon, I have only worn them a couple times. Check back if you are really interested in my opinion as opposed to a good rating for marketing purposes. Also the rating below about fit too narrow, just right, and too wide does not leave room for a real assessment about fit. None meet my circumstance. Thanks"

— Michael S. (3/5)

My feet are happy!

"They are comfortable, the primary thing. The sizing and cushioning are perfect. Quality is obvious. They look good and the design is unique."

— Rick A. (5/5)

I recently purchased these socks,

"I recently purchased these socks, and I couldn’t be happier with them! They are incredibly soft, well-cushioned, and provide excellent comfort throughout the day. The material feels breathable yet durable, keeping my feet warm without overheating. I also appreciate how well they stay in place without sliding down."

— James M. (5/5)

Darn Tough and Darn Fun

"A saguaro cactus being abducted by an alien spacecraft? Yes please! Darn Tough has always put out an amazing product that's tough as nails and a joy to wear day after day. The socks are incredibly durable, holding up through countless hikes, runs, and everyday adventures without a single snag or hole. They're also super comfortable, with just the right cushioning and breathability that keeps your feet happy from morning till night. I hear they have an amazing lifetime warranty, but I wouldn't know firsthand because they've never failed me—not even close. Now the designs are getting more and more fun and wildly creative, like this quirky extraterrestrial masterpiece, which might just be why I keep coming back and buying them over and over. Can't wait to see what zany pattern they dream up next!"

— Jack E. (5/5)

I got these to help

"I got these to help break in my new hiking boots and just because I loved the design. They are ridiculously comfortable. They have cushion and all the right spots. The break-in has been phenomenal, there’s no hot spots. My feet are able to breathe. I get lots of comments on the pattern in the design. And when I wear these with my trail, running shoes, I’m amazed at how much my feet feel right at home and just as comfortable whether it’s in my mountaineering boots which I’m breaking in or my trail runners. I live in the southwestern Desert. One of the hottest regions in the US and my feet are never too cold or too hot. This sock keeps my feet just right whether it’s 120° or it’s an early morning 60° hike. I absolutely love them. And I love the smile they bring to my face when I put them on."

— Jory B. (5/5)

Still my favorites!

"Love the socks, love the design, love the company and their service! Darn Tough are the only socks I buy at this point. I have the black socks for work and then these socks for the weekends!"

— Kendall R. (5/5)

What's not to like

"I enjoy wearing Darn Tough socks. They are comfortable and wear well. People comment that they like the designs. They come in enough weights and styles to meet all MY needs and the lifetime warranty is a NICE plus."

— Charles K. (4/5)

Bye bye smelly feet!

"Super comfortable socks and my feet do not get nearly as hot as they do with cotton socks. It is crazy that you don’t have to wash them after every use and they don’t even stink! I’m hooked!"

— Daniel G. (5/5)

Great for hot weather or indoors

"I have been building a drawer of darn tough socks. I own other lightweight crews but i find this one is lighter. Its great for summer time or indoors."

— Michael S. (5/5)
