You don’t need a drawer full of socks to hike comfortably, just the right pair. Answer a few quick questions and we’ll match you with hiking socks knit for how you actually hit the trail.
The best hiking socks are made of Merino Wool. Merino’s natural moisture wicking and blister prevention abilities make it one of the most reliable materials to knit socks with. And when spun together with Nylon and Spandex, it creates the most durable, best fitting hiking sock you’ll ever wear.
How should hiking socks fit?+
Hiking socks shouldn’t be loose but instead fit your feet so well you forget you’re wearing them. At Darn Tough, we guarantee our Merino Wool hiking socks to be the best fitting socks you’ll ever wear. That means no slipping or bunching, resulting in a performance fit that feels like a second skin, helping reduce blisters.
How long do hiking socks last?+
Darn Tough hiking socks are Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life – if they’re not the longest-lasting hiking sock you’ve ever owned, you can return them for another pair – meaning they last a lifetime. They’re made from durable Merino Wool, nature’s most befitting gift for active sock wearers.
Should hiking socks be thick or thin?+
Choose hiking socks based on your activity and weather conditions. You might opt for a lightweight, thinner sock for shorter hikes, trail running, or mountain biking in the summer. For more extreme hiking conditions, overland trekking, and cold weather, a heavyweight, thicker sock increases durability and warmth. Darn Tough knits both thick and thin hiking socks.
Can women wear men’s hiking socks?+
The short answer is, yes. At Darn Tough, our men’s hiking socks can be worn by women. The difference therein lies with comfort and fit – men’s socks are generally larger and sit higher on the leg than women’s styles. But women with larger feet or longer legs might find they fit better.
