Darn Tough Socks

Darn Tough socks are built for performance, comfort, and longevity. Made in Vermont with fine-gauge Merino wool blends, they offer natural moisture control, temperature regulation, and a smooth, snug fit that stays put—no slipping, bunching, or blisters.

Available in a wide range of styles for hiking, running, everyday wear, and work boots, these socks are designed to handle anything you throw at them. Whether you’re summiting a mountain, working long hours on your feet, or just looking for socks that won’t wear out, Darn Tough delivers.

Why People Swear By Darn Tough Socks

Darn Tough socks have earned a loyal following for good reason. They're knit in Vermont using a high-density stitch pattern that creates a tough, long-lasting sock without sacrificing comfort. What really sets them apart is their lifetime guarantee—if they ever wear out, they'll be replaced. No hassle, no fine print.

At the heart of every pair is Merino wool, a natural fiber known for its ability to manage moisture, regulate temperature, and resist odor. These socks keep your feet dry in summer and warm in winter, all while staying breathable and soft to the touch. Unlike synthetic blends, Merino also naturally fights off odors, so you can wear them longer without needing to wash after every use.

There’s a sock for every activity. Hikers often choose the crew-height or boot socks with medium cushioning to reduce impact on rough trails. Workers appreciate the full cushion styles built for steel-toe boots, where durability is a must. For daily wear, a lightweight lifestyle sock offers all-day comfort in sneakers or casual shoes. And if you’re a runner or gym-goer, the ultralight and low-profile options give you breathability and support without bulk.

Choosing the right pair is simple. Start with your intended use—outdoors, work, sport, or everyday—and match the weight and cushioning to your shoes and comfort preference. The fit is snug without feeling tight, designed to stay put with no slipping, bunching, or blisters.

Taking care of them is easy. Just turn them inside out, wash in cold water, and air dry or tumble dry on low. Skip the fabric softeners—they’ll break down the stretch and shorten the life of your socks. With the right care, most people find they get years of use before they even think about a replacement.

Whether you're logging miles on the trail, clocking hours on the job, or just tired of socks that fall apart too soon, Darn Tough socks live up to their name—and then some.
