Men's Hiker Boot Midweight Hiking Socks

These socks were pricier but kept my feet plenty warm on my first mountaineering experience. They are also incredibly comfortable and cozy for normal winter wear.

I haven't felt compelled to review any item before, but I feel like I'd be doing Darn Tough Vermont a grave disservice if I neglected to write a short review of their fabulous socks. If you're on the fence about these socks because of the price, do yourself a favor and buy them. These socks more than make up for the rather high price through quality, materials used, and performance. The stitching in the toes and heel is very heavy and durable. I've already worn these socks on multi-mile walks and hikes, and they feel great even in the awful heat and humidity of Mississippi. The blend of the socks (merino wool, nylon, and lycra spandex) does an excellent job of wicking moisture, and I have developed no blisters or even hot spots with these form-fitting sleeves of wonder. Speaking of form-fitting, these socks are a snug fit by design. If you don't like having tight socks, you might want to go up a size but I love the way they feel. These socks do not bunch or sag down your calf the way cotton socks do. I haven't had these long so time will be the true test, but I anticipate no issues. And if the socks do form a hole or otherwise present me with some problem, Darn Tough Vermont offers a lifetime warranty - no questions asked. How many companies stand behind their products like that? One thing I'd mention that I haven't seen in other reviews: If you wear mid-length hiking boots (such as Merrell Moab mid-length), you might want to consider the Darn Tough crew type sock instead. The boot sock comes up to roughly the middle of my calf - quite a bit above the top of my mid-length pair of Moab Ventilators. I don't mind the length whatsoever, but it is worth mentioning.

I have purchased a few Darn Tough socks (leaving review on only one)... they are expensive as heck but so far despite washing them all 30+ times, the bottoms aren't wearing away like usual cotton socks. I don't know how long these things should last but they are trending to seem to last a lifetime at least in my use case. Maybe the elastic material inside of them will eventually degrade and give out if that's going to happen over time. 🤷‍♂️ In the time I have had all my Darn Tough socks, I would probably have gone through two iterations of replacing my cotton Gold Toe socks. What I mean to say is, up front they are pricey, but I am reaching the point of quality over quantity in terms of ROI. I still have what appears to be a lot more life in my Darn Tough socks still that justify their initial cost. They are thick on the bottoms, look well constructed, and are comfortable. Maybe a little on the tight size for their 'size'. Also maybe not suited for summer heat, but I endure. Do recommend giving them a trial/sample run if you are in a limbo state of trying to justify cost. I gave them a 'trial run' and am now ~12 pairs in on my 'trial'.

I've had these socks for 5 years. Worn almost daily for work out on the flight line, suffering lots of walking, hiking, and a little running. I see no reason why they won't last another 5 or more years. They're warm in the winter, and well worth the price if you're looking for a pair of socks that won't rip or tear after a few months. They certainly live up to the name.

This is my 1st pair of Darn Tough Boot Socks. I already have two pair of the Crew Socks. They are not cheap $$, but you get what you pay for. The crew socks are great for my light hiking boots and approach shoes. The boot socks are a perfect fit for my 10" steel toed work boots. Padded in all the right places. What makes these socks a real winner though is the blend of materials they are made from. I can wear the socks in leather work boots and my feet stay dry at 90 Deg. temps. and warm at 10 Deg. temps all day. Neat color combinations too. "Made in Vermont" on the tag has always been a symbol of quality to me as a Native Vermonter. Lately, it's been a bit over-used though and some products are just... meh? Darn Tough socks however are the kind of quality product that Vermonters can be proud of and I hope you guys and gals keep making them here for a long time. They are kind of like the Vermont equivalent of LL Bean's Maine Hiking Boot. Recommended! Jimmy Update: Having used these socks for an extended period of time I am leaning strongly toward the boot socks vs. the crew for any boot 8" or taller. Having several inches of sock above the boot top helps you to keep them cinched up properly. The crew sock and an 8" boot (work boot, hiking boot) will leave you having to make more adjustments during the course of the day, whereas, the boot top size sock keeps them from diving down into the boot and everything seems to stay in-place. Great socks, I hardly wear my Thorlos anymore.

Great socks.. I did not give a 5 star due to the socks were very tight on his legs.. The quality was great. I just wished that the legs weren't too tight..

Socks are comfortable, easy on and off,

These Darn Tough socks are fantastic. I've got 3 pair that go with me traveling weekly and get worn weekly. They are tough and look new even though I've worn them 30 to 40 times. I don't get hot in them when it's hot out, and I don't get cold when it's chilly. These socks are top notch and I'll probably be picking up a few more pairs.

The sock is expensive but it’s the best socks I ever wore. It is thick but it keeps your feet warm and dry. For its thickness, it also does not cause your feet to sweat.

Justo como lo pedí. Gracias!

なんといっても頑丈！本当に頑丈で、履いている足均等にテンションがかかっているので履き心地もいい。ソールに毛玉は出来やすいですけども、破れる気配すらありません。カカトとかガサガサですぐに穴が空いてましたが、これは問題なさそうです。

These are by far the best socks I have ever owned. They are extremely warm and my feet don’t sweet in them and best of all is they don’t fall down or bunch up under your feet. Highly recommended!

I thought this would be hiking socks, but they are more durable socks in general. They are way too thick for my hiking needs and does not offer the same support and padding that other hiking branded socks do. I would buy this if what I was looking for was a Marino Wool sock to replace my every day socks in cold or wet weather. I might be spoiled by my Icebreaker socks that cost less but gives me so much more when hiking.
