> 3 dayNot the best work or hiking socks. Especially for the money. Build quality is mediocre. Theyre loose out of the box, despite being my size. It only gets worse with sweat as the day goes on. They also make my boots extremely uncomfortable. Which is important because Im in these things running around (literally) or 10 or more miles every day. My smart wools are infinitely better than these. I regret buying them.

> 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 dayLove Darn Tough socks, but I’ve ordered the Dusk Denim (light blue) three different times from three different sellers and I keep getting the Denim (dark blue). Is everyone color blind or just don’t care about getting the order right?

> 3 dayI was looking forward to my first pair of darn tough socks, based on the good reviews, however, I was a little bummed, when they were too small and had a rub spit on the back of heel. The size chart shows that a medium is for sizes 8-9.5 mens. I wear a size 8.5-9 mens shoe depending on the style, but never a 9.5. My feet are also normal standard width. I do not have wide feet. I ordered medium based on the chart provided by seller. These socks are way too small and tight on my feet. There is no way these are ment for size 9 which is in the middle of the range, no way. The size for medium in my opinion would be 7.5-8 mens. They really should be more accurate on the size chart. Or maybe I got a bad batch. But, they are tight on my feet. Also, the cushion area inside the sock is a little short on the backside of the heel. I can feel the seam rubbing on my Achilles heel. The cushioned area should be at least an inch higher for comfort. The construction of the sock looks and feels like it would be durable, but I wont be wearing them to find out. Bummer. I was hopeful based on good reviews and thought Id order one pair to try out before ordering 6 pairs for a 50 mile backpacking trip. So, I now have a $18 pair of socks that arent comfortable for me to wear.

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
