Super warm & good looking, these are a home run!

These socks are durable, comfortable, & perfect for any activity!

These socks are great and provide plenty of warmth and cushion. Great for hiking and everday use.

Cushioned and worked well in regulating my feet temp while backcountry hiking and camping in the humid and damp Smoky Mountains in June. I suppose the Coolmax function worked, my feet never felt hot. Moisture wicking was good enough even with my gortex lined boots. I use these socks daily as winter boot socks, too.
Warning: don't dry near a fire, the socks could melt (one sock got too close and did melt into a rigid crumble).

This is my third pair of these socks and they are absolutely amazing. When I have to be on my feet all day, these are my go to socks, the extra cushion really makes a difference!

Great cushion and warmth. These are ideal for a hike on a cool day. I seek these socks out on laundry days!

great socks. warm and lightweight. perfect for outdoors

I bought these awhile ago and they are my absolute "go-to" socks. I have had many other brands but these wear the best, wash the best, last the best of any brand. They are expensive but compared to all others, I will now buy only Darn Tough. They are hard to get on sale but they are worth the price.

I saw the Darn Tough name and assumed this was a merino wool sock. I wondered why my feet were so funky. Not merino, not a stitch. I never would have paid this much for a non merino sock, ever!

As socks they are fine, comfortable, fit right...all that stuff. With all that I'll probably never wear them. These socks stink, literally. It really doesn't help that the reviews seem to indicate that they are merino. Grr.

Bought for my husband with notorious stinky feet, helps keep his feet cool when he is sweating.

Yeah yeah, the wordplay of the title was low hanging fruit, but it rings true here. I've been rocking Merino socks for a while and mostly go with Smartwool, Icebreaker and Darn Tough. I've ejoyed Smartwool for more active times like running but have found that the they wear after heavy use the fastest. Icebreaker is good for versatile use but shrink a bit easier over time. Darn Tough socks don't have this issue as much which makes them the merino sock that has the least amount of downsides. The merino weave is comfy but durable feeling while the size continues to be the same with multiple washes. If you are looking for the one merino sock out of them all that works well on a casual and hiking level then this is it.

I swore off heavy hiking boots and thick socks a long time ago, and have switched over to hiking shoes/trail runners with lighter weight socks. Since then I have been almost exclusively buying Darn Tough socks for my outdoor adventures. Super durable, solid fit, and just the right amount of cushion in all the right spots. My feet love Darn Tough!

I love the fit and feel of Darn Tough hiking socks. I can't say the same for the darn Tough running socks (inconsistent fit and horrible feel). Darn Tough makes the most comfortable hiking socks.
