> 3 dayI finally returned my first 3 pairs after about 3-4 years and picked new ones. They lasted a pretty long while. They returned them with no hassel. I was amazed. The turnaround was about 12 days. (I paid shipping but got new durable socks). Screw Hanes btw. I highly recommend them and love that they are made in Vermont. I use their dress socks, no shows and boot socks for sports, office, hiking and skiing. I bought some for my kids for snow tubing. There was not one mention of cold feet from them unlike regular sweaty polyester socks. I was skeptical at first with the “lifetime guarantee” but needed something better for sweaty feet and also cold conditions so I bought a couple pairs at first. The no show athletic socks are a good buy also. Ive had two pair for two years and theyve worn great.The price is worth it to me. (I just returned some and got new ones). If youre in the military these should be the only ones you buy. My one pair of cushioned soled black boot socks are a noticeable difference from what I was originally issued. I wish i had had them during cold weather training-screw Thor-Los btw. I didnt get paid for this review but will always give props to a good American made product even if they cost a little more. Tiny gripe- I would like more selection of dress socks with cushioned soles. Burgandy and grey stripes would be great.

> 3 dayYes, they are fairly warm. Yes, they have a fair amount of cushion. However these aren’t magical socks. And you should expect these to be magical because of the price. I would have to say that I do enjoy the odor resistance of these socks. You can wear these multiple days without noticing much smell. These make decent work socks if you have to work out in the cold. But for the price, I’m not 100% satisfied they are worth it. It’s really up to you.

> 3 daySeem like nice socks , but could not get on my feet. I wear a size 12 shoe, ordered the XL (listed as shoe size 12.5-14.5) way to small.

> 3 dayAfter many pairs of the Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Sock I decided to try this design and I am not disappointed. The quality and fit are exactly what I would expect from a pair of Darn Tough Socks! I would highly recommend this style.

13-06-2025I was leery about buying these due to the cost. I had a giftcard, so I figured why not. These turned out to be the most comfortable socks I ever wore. They look like there is some real quality there.

MICRO CREW HEIGHTSitting near mid-calf, it’s the best sock height for everyday casual and dress. 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 DENSITYCushion in the Hike/Trek category features terry loops under the foot, and in the taller styles reaches above the ankle for comfort and protection. Mid-level cushion density under foot. |
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
