We sat down with Roy Tuscany (High Fives’ Founder) and pro sit-skier Trevor Kennison to dial in the fit on this Midweight OTC. Designed with adaptive athletes in mind, the High Fives wraps your lower leg and calf with compression – and that’s intentional. Knit to fulfill the needs of adaptive skiers and riders like Trev and Roy, we’re donating 5% of all sales from this sock to the High Fives Foundation. As Trev would say, “Let’s f*cking go!”

Height: Over-the-Calf
Weight: Midweight
Pair with: Full sends, ski boots, snowboard boots

  • Men's over the calf socks average 17 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to cover the leg to just below the knee.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no boundaries. Here's to feeling connected and comfortable in your boots run after run.
  • Merino Wool has a natural ability to move heat and moisture, keeping skier's and rider's feet warm and dry.
  • All-season performers, midweight socks naturally adapt to keep your feet at the right temperature.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion reduces heel lift, which helps socks feel better on and last season to season.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • 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.

Reviews

Comfort and a bit of color

"These are exceptionally comfortable socks. The design actually helps direct me to find the properly centered point to aim for while putting the sock on. They look great and feel great."

Christopher R. (5/5)

High Five for the High Fives

"I typically buy the heavier socks for winter wear in MN. This time I decided to try a lighter weight sock and I do not regret it. These socks fit perfectly, they are very comfortable, and still provide the warmth I need for outdoor activities. I will definitely be buying more of the lighter weight socks in the future."

Steven H. (5/5)

New Skiing Favorites

"Really impressed with these socks. The fit is great and they stay put without sliding or bunching up like a lot of other brands I’ve tried. They’re super comfortable — honestly there were times I didn’t even realize I still had socks on. The cushioning is perfect too: supportive without feeling bulky or hot. Definitely a step up from other socks I’ve owned."

Jason P. (5/5)

Like all my other Darn

"Like all my other Darn Tough socks these are awesome! In my mind they’re the closest I can come to finding DT compression/merino socks. They are my go to distance hiking socks as I return to the AT the end of April. Thanks!"

Gary L. (5/5)

Best quality socks

"This is my 3rd set of Darn Tough socks. Best quality socks so far, feel great and warm. Very well put together. I am sold on there products. Only comment is not to put stickers directly on the socks, left adhesive residue on one pair. Thanks"

Great socks I wear them

"Great socks I wear them in the morning while walking my Greyhound a couple of miles . They kep my feet warm. They fit me well. I went with a small medium sock which they reccomended for me. Darn tough makes the best socks I have worn many types of darn tough from socks that go to ankle and all the way up my shin. The cushioning is good for skiing and long walks."

Q&A

I would like to know the approximate compression of these socks please
Hi Donna, Here is a great article about our socks and being supportive, not compression that will help answer your question - https://darntough.mom/blogs/the-alternate-stitch/compression-socks-supportive-socks
