Height: Quarter
Weight: Lightweight

Women'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 - 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.

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

Perfect height

"Love the height and comfort of these socks for everyday wear and for activities. I wear 7. 5 women shoes, I ordered medium and they are comfortable. This height is great because it doesn’t fall off my heel in tennis shoes or boots. These are thicker than anticipated for “lightweight” but not thick enough that my feet are too hot or uncomfortable."

— Maddie Y. (5/5)

Another winner!

"I wanted a lighter sock than my current hiking socks. These are perfect! Comfy cushioning and good fit. I wear them mostly for walking but they feel great in my hiking boots, too."

— Lisa H. (5/5)

Great socks

"I have started training for a rim to rim hike in the Grand Canyon. I have used DT socks for work for 5 years and they are still going strong. When I began my training and knew I needed hiking specific socks, going with DT was a no brainer. These hiking socks have been amazing! No blisters, very cozy and love they are between a crew and no show for hiking."

— Kristie H. (5/5)

Great for an all day trip to Cedar Point!

"Love these socks! They are lightweight and yet cushy enough to wear all day at Cedar Point Amusement Park! The thickness was just right! I won't be buying any other socks ever again - especially with the wonderful lifetie guarantee!!! Huzzah!"

— Lorna (5/5)

Summer love too!

"I love Darn Tough Socks, but have only worn them in the cooler months. So I was hesitant to try these and totally surprised that I love them too! Unfortunately so does my crazy poodle … but love them still the same!"

— Cindy B. (5/5)

Perfect for summer hiking

"Perfect for summer hiking and walking in the woods. Love the colors and fit. Darn Tough is one of the few manufacturers that makes socks small enough to really fit my 5. 5 size feet!"

— Amy B. (5/5)

Comfy cushiony!

"Recovering from surgery and radiation this winter, started wearing my Darn Tough socks every day. They were comfortable and cozy and made me smile. I bought more pairs. And when I saw these advertised, I got them for as the weather gets warmer. I got them in all 3 colors! They are shorter, lighter , and have some (but less) cushioning. Cushioning feels so good! Next goal (besides PT)…next SOCK goal, same style in more colors/designs!"

— Jeanette W. (5/5)

Best socks ever!

"Darn Tough socks and the best ever! The Women’s Light Hiker socks are soft and supportive. They keep my feet comfortable and dry. I love that they don’t stink even after a long hot hike. Bright beautiful colors. Darn Tough’s guarantee is the best!!Given that they are guaranteed for life the price is a bargain! Well worth the amount paid."

— Gretchen V. (5/5)

Great socks

"I find they are a nice thickness, it would be nice to make some for wider feet…. colors could improve, maybe simple two color … , haven’t really use them much yet ,but love my thick ones very much and am still wearing these as it’s still cold."

— Vicky R. (4/5)

My wife and I now

"My wife and I now have about a dozen pair of your socks and we absolutely love them. Comprised of about half light hikers and half crew socks. Our feet are warm when it’s cold and breathe when it’s hot. I have put thousands of miles on my socks and am working on my second set. Best warranty anywhere. I truly love these socks. Thank you Darn Tough!"
