Reviews

My new buy-it-for-life

"I wear a size 11 EE shoe and went with the XL. Probably should size up from their guide if you have wide feet. But man, these things are comfortable. Best construction I've seen in a sock. Great quality materials too. No pilling after washing, like some others. No distortion after many wears. Went back and bought several more. All are great."

— Dwight S. (5/5)

Great fit, no bunching

"These were a gift for my husband. He’s very particular about fit, but these are a total hit. They stay in place perfectly and don't bunch up at all. Highly recommend for anyone who is hard to please when it comes to socks!"

— Macie W. (5/5)

Mid weight Tactical Sock Review

"So far an excellent product. I've used them for walking, hiking, and as socks to prevent chafing when I freedive spearfish. I'll see how the hold up in a year out."

— ANDREW G. (5/5)

These socks are awesome. I

"These socks are awesome. I was running with them and my feet didn’t even smell bad afterward, I usually have a problem with that. Also usually got blisters on the bottom of my feet. I don’t with these."

— Omar B. (5/5)

I was a bit skeptical

"I was a bit skeptical at first since I have a few tactical boot socks I used in service so seeing the 1/4 tactical sock with cushion made me want to try them out. They are still super lightweight durable sock with cushion where it’s needed the most. I thought with how thin they felt my feet would sweat like smartwool however this was not the case whatsoever. Feet stayed dry all day long. I will most definitely be getting more pairs! Darn tough does it again!!"

— Alejandro J. (5/5)

Durability wrapped in comfort.

"These socks are incredibly durable with a soft, cushioned feel that stays comfortable all day. After repeated wear and washes, they still look and perform like new. Easily some of the most reliable socks I’ve owned."

— Pratik K. (5/5)

My go-to quarter height sock

"I have almost every quarter height sock Darn Tough makes and this one’s my favorite. And I don’t even need to meet any dress codes. It has a slightly higher merino wool percentage than the colorful mid-weight hiker. Love the fit, durability, and “no logo” stealth. I feel like Darn Tough understandably doesn’t promote this line very much due to the lack of branding above the ankle."

— Fred C. (5/5)

Super comfy!

"These are great socks that take a beating and still feel just as good after months of wear. Great purchase. Cost a little more, but the quality is fantastic."

— David L. (5/5)

Great ankle socks

"These ankle socks are warm and lightly padded without being hot. I wear them everyday with tennis shoes. I prefer these over the light weight breathable version of tennis shoes socks because I think these keep shape better after multiple wears"

— tom b. (5/5)

Perfect for PT Uniform or Everyday Wear

"I bought the quarter midweight socks to wear with my PT uniform and they are comfortable, support my arches, and breathable. I love that I found a high quality black sock without logos."

— Kristie C. (5/5)
