> 3 dayOrdered two pairs of these (two diff colors) in what was supposed to be size M. Received items in a plastic bag WITHOUT the original packaging. Socks looked big but figured maybe they were supposed to shrink in the wash/dryer. Well they didn’t, and the socks are clearly size large. I’ve already washed them so can’t return them. If you order these, make SURE you get the original packaging to confirm you have received the correct size.

> 3 dayThese are very high quality socks that really cushion my feet. They are great for hiking or any other activity where there can be wear and tear on your feet. They hold up wash after wash. They are as they say, pretty Darn Tough.

> 3 daySo far so good. A little pricey, but very comfortable. I tend to get sweaty feet in the warmer months, these really help with that issue. Top notch quality. Will definitely buy more in the future to come.

> 3 dayMost comfortable socks Ive ever worn. I threw away all my other socks. With the lifetime warranty these will be the lost socks Ill ever have to buy. I got 14 pairs of the medium cushion 1/4 length, 2 pairs of the lightweight topless no-show, I might get 5 pairs of thick boot length in the future but I still have a bunch of decent wool boot socks.

> 3 dayIve worn them in 100 degree weather and full humidity in the jungles of africa, on sidewalks in 40 degree weather in the USA without shoes, and with sandals when it is raining instead of pretty much any other kind of shoe (other than rain boots). When it is hot, they wick sweat away and keep your feet cool. When cold, they dont transfer heat from any surface- almost as good as slippers. When wet, they still dont transfer heat and dry on your feet. I wear them every day and they never smell, even when I wash them only every 2 weeks or so. They are soft, super roomy in the toes, cushioned, and dont constrict and leave marks on your ankles. The right color combinations make them appropriate for formal wear as much for hiking- in both cases, severely reduces blisters. I seriously dont understand why people DONT wear these socks. I wear through them usually every 6-8 months and always buy new ones because I want to support this company! BEST SOCKS EVER. (btw... you should NOT put them in the dryer. They will dry on their own in an hour, even quicker if you put them on. You shouldnt wash them after one use either- this is wool and the washer will break down the fibers quicker.)

> 3 dayI would bet my husband is the hardest man on his socks ever. I bought him a pair of Darn tough 3 years ago. After near daily use (Long enough to to be washed) for about 8 months he got a hole. I sent them back and received a new pair. Then after a year of near daily use he got a hole again. I sent them back and received a new pair — again! He works construction and is often out of town. He couldnt wash his Darn Tough socks like usual so he bought other socks — two 6 packs. Within 2 months he put holes in every pair from those 6 packs! Happily Weve just ordered our first 6 pack of Darn Tough socks and are thinking these will be the last socks hell ever need to buy! LOVE these socks!

MICRO CREW HEIGHTThe micro crew is 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 DENSITYThe Work collection primarily features midweight yarns due to their versatility in all environments and ultimate protection. The entire Work category features cushion underfoot while select styles use terry loops in the leg. |
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
