> 24 hourSeriously, aside from my business dress, I regret buying anything BUT Darn Tough socks. Come this summer, I will eschew every single other sock in my over-crowded sock drawer and upgrade to what I now know is perfection.

> 24 hourSo, what I love about these socks is the height and the elastic tops, unlike brands like smart wool that can be painful if you have big calves. The lack of seams is FANTASTIC! Though despite the no bunching claim, they definitely will. What I don’t really like is where the cushioning is, or rather where it’s not. I’m not even remotely convinced that if it’s hot outside the thinner material at the top of a sock will keep your feet cool. It’s still crammed into and touching the top of your shoe/boot keeping it hot. If you’re going to do it though, it needs to come at least as far back as the last “knuckle” on your feet. Any bending point in the foot that’s going to contact your boot/shoe should be cushioned. They’re great quality, and I want to like them more, but it’s… almost perfect. I’d love to give a micro crew full cushion sock a try… but they don’t seem to make one that doesn’t jump to the extra cushion heavyweight category. Don’t get me wrong, that I want to try for winter, but doesn’t sound too pleasant for summer. These are probably perfect for casual wear in shoes, but not so much for hiking in boots, imho. Having worn them a bit more I had to take away a star… ok so these are $27 socks… they should be monumentally better than $2 socks… but they’re not. And my other huge complaint is the inconsistency between pairs. I have one pair with decent toe cushioning and terrible heel cushioning, and another pair where it’s the opposite problem. I don’t know if the socks they couldn’t sell end up on Amazon or not, but for $27/pair I’m not impressed at all. They got so much right compared to smart wool, but so much wrong too. I’m willing to give a pair of the full cushion socks a try before giving up on darn tough as a whole.

> 24 hourThis sock is well made. The wool blend is not the best in warm climates or summer hiking but great for normal outdoor activity the rest of the year.

> 24 hourHubby loves them. We have worn Smartwool socks for years, but the quality for price has went south. These are well made and comfortable.

> 24 hourI wear this style of Darn Tough sox year round. Decent medium weight cushioning. These sox dry quickly. Pattern looks like a rocket propelled outhouse?

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
