  • Men's over the calf socks average 17 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to cover the leg to just below the knee.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no boundaries. Here's to feeling connected and comfortable in your boots run after run.
  • Merino Wool has a natural ability to move heat and moisture, keeping skier's and rider's feet warm and dry.
  • Lightweight socks balance breathability with responsive temperature regulation to keep feet comfortable all day.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion reduces heel lift, which helps socks feel better on and last season to season.
  • 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.

Reviews

Great socks

"Many may think a sock is a sock. This is simply not the case. A quality sock for skiing or hunting goes a long way. Keeping your feet warm on the coldest of days hunting or when skiing is vital. These socks achieve this objective. They are warm and not too thick. I don’t like paper thin socks and these are not that. They do have a bit of thickness to them…enough so that they fit comfortably in any boot, including ski boots. You can’t go wrong with these and at the prices here, they’re a no brainer!"

— Allen M. (5/5)

Men’s Outer Limits socks

"Men’s Outer limits over the calf socks are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn ! They never slip down or stay stretched out. There very very soft and my feet are always dry . I also use these at work as a FireFighter . I definitely recommend anyone to try them you will not be disappointed !!"

— Chad S. (5/5)

Excellent, but very tight.

"The socks are well made, the colors and pattern are excellent. I especially like the marino wool content. However, I do feel that they are much too tight. I wear an XL and slim at 6' 1" 160 lbs. The length is OK, and the fit on my feet is OK, but they are very tight on my calfs."

— David A. (4/5)

I wear them everyday. I

"I wear them everyday. I don’t wear cotton socks anymore, just for the comfort alone!!!"

Best Darn Socks

"Awesome socks, with incredible fit and comfort. I live in Florida and wear socks 8 months out of the year. And when I’m wearing socks, it’s Darn Tough wool socks. Worth every penny. My collection is building up"

— Michael C. (5/5)

Sick but not lightweight

"I've loved all my Darn Tough socks over the years but wanted to try some lightweight ones for splitboarding. First off, they are very comfy and warm but are not very lightweight. They are about as thick as most other brands standard ski socks. Padding is helpful for the ski boot I use for touring but I would not recommend these socks if you need something thin and lightweight, they are not that."
