i feel like my ski boots finally fit correctly

"Best ski socks I've tried so far, good compression and fit they stay up and on and don't sacrifice any snugness of the ski boot. Was rocking the smart wool which are great but somehow my boots fit better with these! warmth rating- I would give it a 6. they aim more for fit than warmth better for days in the high 20s -30s. So far these are the best I've tried where. Like me you may discover that your ski boots fit better."

The best and most durable socks

"Darn tough socks don't pill or stretch out. Even the thinnest of them are very warm."

Judith S. (5/5)

Great socks for skiing

"Love these socks! I love all darn tough socks, and these are especially great for skiing. I've used this downhill and uphill skiing, and they're perfect. The nice thing about these socks is that they sit right below your knees, which means they are above your ski boot, so they don't bunch and make the ski boot uncomfortable. Also, these socks are super warm."

Completely satisfied with this purchase!

"Love these socks! The size small fit perfectly, I normally wear a size 6 ½ shoe. I bought these for winter trail walking. The over the calf style is super cozy with wide leg jeans. The plum color is fun and complements my wardrobe. Shipping was fast and the web site is easy to navigate making shopping a breeze. And the amazing guarantee gave me confidence to give these socks a try"

Love the design

"Beautiful design, great fit on 6. 5 foot. The vision is perfect."

Over the calf ski socks

"I’m 5’ tall and the length is a little long for me."

Andrea F. (5/5)

Made a believer out of a coworker!

"I've worn Darn Tough for a while now but I purchased these for a coworker that just couldn't believe socks could be worth talking about as much I talk about Darn Tough. Happy to say taht after wearing these, she is a believer now. She owns a few pair of DT now but always makes a point to stop by and thank me when she is wearing these. She said being a size 9 and having bigger calves, finding any OTC sock that fit well was almost impossible, but not now."

Michael T. (5/5)

Just right cushion

"This sock has mid weight cushioning in the places I need: underfoot, and on my shin. The rest of the sock is thinner so the boot doesn’t feel too tight."

Emily R. (5/5)

Fantastic sock!

"This is the 3rd pair of snowboard socks I've bought myself to use for fencing; love having different colors, the cushion in all the right places, the fact I don't overheat, my feet don't feel wet at the end of the day, and knowing I'm taking care of my feet with these wool blend socks. Far better than any actual "fencing socks" on the market these days -- I'm slowly converting all my fencing friends over to Darn Tough!"

Heather V. (5/5)

The perfect warmth and fit

"Another win for Darn Tough and why I wear a darn tough sticker on my skis. This is my second pair of outer limits ski socks, because one wasn’t enough. Soft and comfortable fit. No bunching. Warm on those cold mountain days."
