Darn Tough Men's Hiker Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Socks (Style 1466)

I now have 7 pair of these. Along with 3 pair of Darn Tough Men's Quarter Lightweight Running Sock (Style 1715) for shorts weather. I turn 50 next year and I'm fairly certain I found the last socks I will ever buy. I absolutely LOVE these. Back when I was getting whatever socks were cheapest at brick and mortar I would go through socks like water. They would never last. Holes within days. I got foot fatigue from wearing cheap socks within hours of putting them on. My feet would get itchy if I left the cheap socks on for more than an hour without shoes. And the swamp foot I would get from my work boots could choke a billy goat. Everything I experienced with cheap socks are gone since getting these. I can wear them all day and night and they almost feel like slippers. My feet don't get itchy anymore if I wear them all day around the house without shoes. They don't get my feet too hot, keeping them perfectly comfortable. They do NOT fall down either. Possibly ever so slightly depending what my jeans are doing but I have yet to have them bunch up at the top of my shoe. And the swamp foot vanished almost overnight. I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of the stink. These socks are the ONLY thing that worked for me. Breathable and wicking yet warm/cool and cozy. I swear they feel like slippers to me. The only time I do not have them on are when I'm sleeping or showering. And they seem to get better with use. When they are new they don't seem like much. Kinda thin but still more substantial to regular cotton socks I guess. After a few washes they thicken up and get comfortable as hell. A nice bonus. My shoe size varies but I range from a 10 1/2 wide to an 11 1/2 wide depending on footwear manufacturer so I went with the large. They were slightly tight to begin with when they were new but after a few washes they kinda stretched out and fit me perfectly now. I'm wondering if that's where some of the negative reviews point of views come from. There IS a break in period with these socks. Please remember that. They may not be flawless when new but give them some time and they WILL shine! Now I have zero problems paying a premium for higher quality products and these are definitely worth every penny spent. And if they last as long as they claim all the better. My perfect sock.

Husband is an avid hunter and outdoorsman and swears by these socks. He’s also a blue color worker who’s in boots and on his feet all day long in all weather and says these are hands down the best socks he’s ever owned. Keep his feet warm in the winter (rain, snow, mud) but are breathable to keep his feet dry and comfortable when things heat up. The quality of the martial is great, not super thick but also not really thin, and they hold up well!

Just outstanding socks! Everything you’ve heard about Darn Tough and Merino Wool merge in their socks like this pair. I’m working more towards two pairs a day as much as possible for life. They are very comfortable and nonabrasive, and they are showing no wear after about 360 miles of walking, hiking, and rucking as well as daily wear. Watch their videos and read the enclosed content on how to care for and wash your socks. I will never machine dry any merino wool product including these socks adding greatly to their durability while saving energy. I know others who machine dry theirs and still seem to have amazing resilience in their Darn Tough socks but at lower temperature drying.

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! Pros & Cons ✅ Super comfortable with perfect cushioning ✅ Moisture-wicking and breathable ✅ Stay in place—no slipping or bunching ✅ Extremely durable with a lifetime warranty ✅ Great for all seasons ❌ A little pricey – But totally worth it for the quality ❌ Might feel snug at first – But they mold to your feet over time Final Verdict – Are They Worth It? YES! These are hands-down the best hiking socks I’ve ever owned. They’re incredibly comfortable, durable, and perfect for any adventure. 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) – Highly Recommended!

These are husband’s new fav socks and he is tough on socks. He used to love the under armor but they don’t last like they used to and I got these on a whim and he loves them. They are warm, durable and wick moisture away

I love all my Darn Tough socks..... Why only 4 stars? Every pair fits differently. The same style, the same size, but very different fit. I order XL. Some have fit fine, some are too small, some flop around on my feet.

It’s rare that a piece of clothing lives up to a cult following, but the Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew actually does. The midweight cushion is the sweet spot—it’s thick enough to provide a genuine buffer inside a hiking boot, but not so bulky that your shoes feel tight. The Merino wool blend handles moisture-wicking better than any synthetic I’ve tried, so even after a long day on the trail, your feet stay dry and comfortable. The most impressive part is the "performance fit"; they stay snug and don't bunch up or slide down, which is usually the main culprit for blisters. What really sets these apart is the sheer durability. You can tell they’re built differently just by the density of the knit—they don't get that "thinned out" feeling in the heel or toe after a few months. Knowing they are made in Vermont and backed by an unconditional lifetime guarantee makes the investment a no-brainer. If you're tired of throwing away cheap socks every season, these are the solution. They’re just solid, reliable midweight hiking socks that stay comfortable wash after wash.

Great quality, great comfort, lasted a decade. Replaced them for free. I'd give them ten stars out of 5.
