  • Men’s Shorty socks average 6 in. from heel to cuff – expect them to rise a few inches above shoes and most slippers.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no excuses. These everyday socks are all business.
  • Silky soft Merino Wool is a natural choice for breathable, long-wearing comfort and effortless style.
  • One of our warmest socks, this Heavyweight knit traps heat, wicks moisture, and provides long-lasting, all-day comfort for cold days at home.
  • Arch support designed to gently hug the foot and keep the socks comfortably in place.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
  • Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.
Full Cushion
Full terry loop cushioning throughout the entire sock wraps your feet in a cocoon of comfort, keeping you warm (and your toes happy). Outline image of Shorty sock with full cushion show by darkened area

All-Day Merino Wool Comfort

To say we knit with the finest yarns is both a statement of quality and comfort. Merino Wool yarn is indeed a fine yarn – thin, silky, nothing like rag wool. For our more casual socks and dress socks, we knit using our thinnest Merino with a watchful eye over a performance fit. This means our lifestyle socks are sublimely smooth and wrap your foot, truly seamlessly, without bunching or slipping. Add wool’s ability to stay dry, resist odor, and regulate temperature, and you have all-day comfort. At least.

Reviews

Pretty solid pair of socks,

"Pretty solid pair of socks, the heavyweight build plus full cushion is nice for at home wearing and the occasional walk around the neighborhood. However given the heavyweight build, it's not quite as nice for the workday for me. Would like to see some midweight full-cushion quarter and shorty socks from Darn Tough in a variety of colors. Ordering process was very nice and no issues there."

— Joshua A. (4/5)

The Best fitting warm socks!

"These socks are exactly what hoped for-soft, cushioned, breathable, and they fit perfectly. After wearing them all day, my feet still felt great. Definitely a 5-star purchase. The height is perfect to wear with home slippers."

— Pratik K. (5/5)

Happy Feet!

"Outstanding comfort and support for my sensitive feet, As advertised, the cushion characteristic, as described, was true and they are remarkably breathable. I am on my feet all day at work, after my initial purchase, I had to purchase two additional pairs. Happy feet!!"

— Kenneth E. (5/5)

Winter wonder, perfect indoors.

"LOVE these. Have both the no show and now these shortys. Winters (indoors) are so nice. The cushion is fantastic and the warmth is sublime. If you’ve ever used the full length Mountaineering socks but don’t love wearing them indoors, this is absolutely your sock. Chilling at home these are fantastic. Probably prefer the no show height over this. Glad to have tried both."

— Troy M. (5/5)

Awesome!

"I was hoping they would bring back something like the home base shorty style they had a few years ago and these fit the bill perfectly!"

— Ted (5/5)

Shockingly low durability

"While they have a pleasant appearance, feel, and cushion, I was a little surprised to see its durability is somewhat low. I've worn this pair for three days, and I'm shocked to see that there's already a weak spot forming at the tip where my big toe rubs. There isn't a hole yet, but I can tell if I were to wear these backpacking or camping for a weekend, they wouldn't survive. It is also worth mentioning this pair isn't too breathable (my feet leaving clear sweat marks when I step on my floor after work). Not very moisture wicking. Is it more comfy than your average Hanes and such, yes, but it's not on the same level as past pairs of Darn Toughs I purchased. I will be emailing customer service about these."

— Lee B. (3/5)

My sock stable is complete

"These are the spring summer socks I've been waiting for. . . full cushion but low rise they just peak out of my hiking boots. Equally nice for around the house as well, I will be getting a couple more pairs before they disappear."

— Dallas M. (5/5)

Smiling Feet and Thankful Legs

"As soon as I put on these socks, my feet smiled! The quarter length socks does not bind into my legs like the more traditional crew and boot style socks do. So, my legs were smiling and thankful as well. And the socks stay in place. Extremely comfortable with full cushion. My feet and legs were still happy and smiling at the end of a 16 hour day. Well made and appealing to the eye."

— Scott D. (5/5)

Great for cooler seasons!

"I have found a new favorite sock! While the cushioning on this model is a bit much for me for summer, it will be great for Spring, Fall, and Winter!"

— David Y. (5/5)

Favorite home socks.

"I’ve been wearing these around the house all winter. They’re like a hybrid slipper/socks. Super comfortable and look cool, I don’t know what else to say. If you’re looking for a good pair of socks, grab these."

— JOHN R. (5/5)
