Men's Number 2 Micro Crew Cushion Hike Socks (1974)

First of all they are expensive no way around it. That caveat aside, these have become my go to socks. I def would recommend them despite the hefty price tag. They are guaranteed for life for a reason! Well made in US of A. The major thing for me is the comfort they provide. It is superior to every other sock by far. And you don’t have to wash after each wear!!! TBH I haven’t washed mine for weeks and they do not smell at all! Idk how this is possible but it is truth. They have excellent customer service as well-I have ordered from them direct as well and they are very helpful. The reason I ordered through Amazon was just for free shipping. The one thing I will say is to be sure to note the difference between the cushion and not cushioned. For me using them at the gym primarily with athletic shoes and for everyday walking I love the cushion and highly highly recommend the cushioned UNLESS you plan to run in them. Then perhaps go with not cushioned. It will tell you on the description. I didn’t know the difference and ended up returning a pair of not cushioned cuz they just aren’t the same comfort level. The one other thing I have not tried is seeing if they truly honor the buy it for life claim so I don’t know the ease of this process and whatnot. I hope so because that would make me a customer for life! PS they look cool too!

These are my son’s favorite socks. He works in a doctor’s office and finds them comfortable for standing all day

Expensive for socks, but the best socks I have ever owned. Warm, comfortable, great fit. I enjoy the goofy designs. Durability remains to be seen. Maybe I'll check back in a few years.

Bought these for my boyfriend and he LOVES them. When we do laundry he gets excited when he see these and are the first pair he puts on. Price is high but it is great quality and has great support. They are a snug fit so if you are between sizes please size up!

I finally returned my first 3 pairs after about 3-4 years and picked new ones. They lasted a pretty long while. They returned them with no hassel. I was amazed. The turnaround was about 12 days. (I paid shipping but got new durable socks). Screw Hanes btw. I highly recommend them and love that they are made in Vermont. I use their dress socks, no shows and boot socks for sports, office, hiking and skiing. I bought some for my kids for snow tubing. There was not one mention of cold feet from them unlike regular sweaty polyester socks. I was skeptical at first with the “lifetime guarantee” but needed something better for sweaty feet and also cold conditions so I bought a couple pairs at first. The no show athletic socks are a good buy also. Ive had two pair for two years and theyve worn great.The price is worth it to me. (I just returned some and got new ones). If youre in the military these should be the only ones you buy. My one pair of cushioned soled black boot socks are a noticeable difference from what I was originally issued. I wish i had had them during cold weather training-screw Thor-Los btw. I didnt get paid for this review but will always give props to a good American made product even if they cost a little more. Tiny gripe- I would like more selection of dress socks with cushioned soles. Burgandy and grey stripes would be great.

gifted to my husband for christmas. he loves them

Yes, they are fairly warm. Yes, they have a fair amount of cushion. However these aren’t magical socks. And you should expect these to be magical because of the price. I would have to say that I do enjoy the odor resistance of these socks. You can wear these multiple days without noticing much smell. These make decent work socks if you have to work out in the cold. But for the price, I’m not 100% satisfied they are worth it. It’s really up to you. *Update* I am upgrading the review from a 3 to a 4. These are lasting way longer than I expected, and odor control is phenomenal. Probably one of the best things about these socks is that they control odor.

I own 2 pair of the crew socks that I have had for a couple years that are a mix of different colors (woodsy colors) with a bear on the side. Mine are very fitting around the arch and leg. I love how cute they are! I wear them all seasons to work and everyday. I Received as a gift. This pair is for my husband. I was worried he’ll have problems with them being too tight around the leg and biting into him but these are not. He wears a size 11 to a 11 half shoe (US) and the socks are for a 10- 12. He usually wears looser socks such as diabetic or stretchy types socks because he has a hard time bending over and getting them on too. (He is 73 and a big guy). These Darn Tough Vermont socks are 63% merino wool to keep his cold feed warm and comfy and they have a cushion sole.

Absolutely brilliant walking/hiking socks,great fit,comfortable and are very hard wearing, it's the only socks I buy now

Darn Tough make extremely high quality socks . Costly, but they last and last .

Unbelievable

I got it as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend and he loves it! The fit is snug but not restrictive, and the sock stays in place all day — no slipping or rubbing. He is on feet at work all day long. He says that cushioning is just right: enough padding under the foot to stay comfortable during the whole day. The seamless toe is a big plus and helps prevent blisters. The temperature regulation is unbelievable - the feet stay warm in cold weather without getting too hot. Moisture control is impressive, and even after a full day of wear, odor is minimal. What really sets these socks apart is the quality and durability. The fabric feels dense. The fact of Darn Tough’s lifetime warranty just adds extra peace of mind. Yes, they cost more than average socks, but the comfort, longevity, and performance absolutely justify the price. If you’re looking for socks that actually last and perform as advertised, these are a great investment.

Forget Everything You Thought You Knew About Socks If you're the type who grabs whatever multi-pack of socks is on sale, I'm here to tell you: you're doing your feet a disservice! For years, I suffered under the tyranny of cheap socks – the kind that slip down, bunch up, wear thin in a matter of weeks, and leave your feet feeling sweaty and uncomfortable. Then, I stumbled upon Darn Tough Socks, and my world (well, at least the world of my feet) changed forever. The Moment of Sock Enlightenment Let me be clear: these socks are NOT cheap. They'll cost you more than the bargain bin variety. But here's the thing: they're absolutely worth every penny. The moment I slipped on my first pair of Darn Tough, I knew something was different. It's like walking on little clouds of pure, cosy comfort. Sock Magic or Just Great Design? The magic of Darn Tough lies in the blend of merino wool, nylon, and Lycra. This combination creates a sock that's: Cushioned Yet Breathable: They've got a delightful thickness without making your feet overheat. Snug Without Suffocating: The fit is perfect—they hug your feet without feeling restrictive. Moisture-Wicking Masters: My feet stay dry and odour-free, even during long hikes or sweaty commutes. Built to Last: After months of wear and countless washes, they still look and feel like new. Comfort That Transforms Your Footwear The transformation wasn't just in the socks themselves–it was in how my shoes felt. Uncomfortable boots that used to give me blisters became surprisingly wearable. Rubbing and pinching? A thing of the past! It was as if Darn Tough had unlocked the hidden potential of my entire footwear collection. The Investment That Keeps on Giving Yes, there's the upfront cost. But factor in Darn Tough's legendary lifetime warranty, and you're looking at a long-term investment in happier feet. I've ditched my drawer full of holey, mismatched socks and begun a slow and steady "Darn Tough Takeover." Two new pairs a month, and I'm well on my way to a sock drawer that sparks pure joy. The Bottom Line If you're ready to ditch the discomfort of mediocre socks and experience what true foot happiness feels like, splurge on a pair of Darn Tough. They might just become your favourite article of clothing. Trust me, the price tag fades away when your feet sing with delight every single day.
