Men's 1/4 socks average 5.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 3 in. above a low hiking shoe.
A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort.
Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather.
Lightweight socks breathe naturally and deliver flexible, all-day comfort for summer hiking.
Light Hiker socks have cushioning underfoot, atop the ankle, and up the Achilles to keep feet comfortable for miles and miles.
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 using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.
Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Cushion

Unrivaled Durability

We make one thing, and we make it better than anyone else – ask any thru hiker and you will likely hear the same. In order to unconditionally guarantee a hiking sock for life, it must be durable. It must maintain its comfort, and it has to fit for miles upon miles on-trail. The socks that do return through warranty inform how we can improve. And we do. Our guarantee is a promise to you, but it’s a standard for us. We have yet to produce our best sock, but we get better with every step.

Reviews

Great Socks!

"I'm a sock snob, and these satisfy my snobbish heart. The height is just right, sitting slightly above the ankle to prevent any chance of blisters. I love the color scheme! Who wants boring socks? The feel of the fabric is high quality, making me confident they will last a long time."

— Louis C. (5/5)

Love these 1/4 lightweight hiker

"Love these 1/4 lightweight hiker socks. Just enough cushion for all day comfort and lightweight for keeping feet feeling cool. They stay put and don't creep like ankle socks tend to do. Thanks D-Tough for another fantastic pair of socks. P. S. I'm a sucker for free shipping, thanks!!!"

— Jonathan C. (5/5)

"Darn Tough Socks are damn stellar for daily wear and cross training. They’re super comfortable, providing great support during workouts and on casual days. Their durability is impressive—I’ve worn them consistently, and they still look and feel fresh. The quality is top-notch, and the warranty gives me confidence knowing they’ll last. Highly recommend for reliable, comfy socks that stand up to everyday use and training!"

— Roger C. (5/5)

Another Winner

"The hiker socks do not fit as snugly as the running socks, but no complaints. Sometimes the looser fit is what I want. The fit is still fantastic. The aqua color is a fun change from my usual black or white."

— Stephen W. (5/5)

Incredible

"This is my first experience with darn tough and a lightweight hiking sock and they now will have a life long customer. Not only are these things comfortable but they seem super durable and they were a joy to hike in. They seemed very breathable and comfortable to wear on a 90 degree day."

— John D. (5/5)

Light Hiker

"This light hiker model has not been worn yet, but it's only a different color scheme to the other model I've already reviewed. One can only assume a similar performance and comfort."

— Herb S. (5/5)

Awesome socks

"These are the most comfortable socks that I’ve ever had. They fit perfectly and really help with temperature regulation. While the wool blend is expensive, I think it really is worthwhile."

— Daniel G. (5/5)

Big fan of the Quarter Height Darn Tough Socks

"I’m a big fan of these Quarter Height Darn Tough socks. They’re easy on and easy off — a real gift at my advanced age. My feet not only get that Merino wool comfort, they feel about 40 years younger. I also appreciate that they come up over my ankles. That bare-ankle trend is for the kids; I’ll take warmth and support any day."

— Stacy M. (5/5)

Another great design from Darn Tough

"These are my new everyday socks. They re the softest yet from Darn Tough. They offer the right amount of support and go well with sneakers when working out or with my hiking shoes for day hikes."

— Scott D. (5/5)

Love these quarter socks

"The quarter socks are great for anything you might be doing. They have just the right cushioning and they could not fit any better. I wear them for days and they don't smell and I use them year round. I wear them with my sneakers, shoes and hiking boots."

— Stephen A. (5/5)
