I never thought I’d get excited about socks, but these Darn Tough Hiker Midweight Micro Crew Socks completely changed my mind! If you’re looking for comfortable, durable, and high-quality socks for hiking, camping, or everyday wear, these are absolutely worth it.
Comfort & Fit – Perfect All Day
From the moment I put these on, I could tell they were different from regular socks. The cushioning is just right—not too thick, not too thin—and they fit snugly without being too tight. They stay in place all day, so no annoying bunching or slipping inside my boots.
Breathability & Moisture-Wicking – No More Sweaty Feet!
One of the biggest surprises was how well these keep my feet dry. The merino wool blend is fantastic at wicking away sweat, and my feet stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. No more damp, smelly socks after a long hike!
Durability – Built to Last
These socks are tough! I’ve worn them for multiple hikes and long days on my feet, and they still look brand new. No holes, no thinning, and no loose threads. Plus, Darn Tough offers a lifetime warranty, so if they ever wear out, they’ll replace them!

Even though they cost more than regular socks, they last forever and are worth every cent. If you’re serious about hiking—or just want amazing socks for everyday wear—you won’t regret buying these!

Product Description
THE ULTIMATE HIKING SOCKS
The only option that truly takes on the rigors of the trail. Darn Tough socks are the most comfortable and durable socks you'll ever own.
MICRO CREW HEIGHT
Sitting near mid-calf, it’s the best sock height for everyday casual and dress. A shorter, more concise take on the traditional crew height. Peeks just above the top of a standard hiking boot.
ULTIMATE COMFORT
No 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 DENSITY
Cushion in the Hike/Trek category features terry loops under the foot, and in the taller styles reaches above the ankle for comfort and protection. Mid-level cushion density under foot.
TRUE SEAMLESS
Undetectable 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 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 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
Micro crew comes up 9¼"
An XL in a micro crew comes up 9 ¼" from bottom to top. This "should" clear an 8" work boot by about an inch. In theory. I'm wearing 7" Grant Stone boots with the sock on and I have about two inches to spare. They do feel a little tight but it's OK. If you go up to an XXL they do not seem to get wider, but longer. So if they're too long , the heel would come up past your heel and have a little puff out by your ankle tendon. Their size chart is spot on. I'm a 13 and XL is perfect, XXL were too long.

I wanted to try these because I was born in Burlington, I almost exclusively wear wool socks, and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive.
The fit and material gets better with more washes!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024
Although, I was not initially impressed with the material's softness and the fit of the socks, after wearing and washing/drying them a couple times my feeling have completely changed.
The material although not very soft out of the box, are very competitive with smart wool's softness after washing and drying. What's really impressive is how the material holds up to multiple wash cycles. They pill A LOT less than Smartwool or Arcteryx wool socks, while maintaining just as much softness.
As for the fit, when I first received them and tried them on they seemed to lack a heel pocket and toe box large enough to hug my foot comfortably. It felt like they were slipping of my heal and the "seamless" seam wrapped around the toe to the left of my pinky toe and bothered me.
However, these socks seem to have a break in period and all of these fit issues went away completely after wearing them. few times.
In, conclusion I love these socks and am proud that they are being made in VT. I am sorry Darn Tough, that I wrote my original review without giving these socks a fair shake. They are high quality socks and worth the price. Thank you!
