Unrivaled Durability
Darn Tough makes one thing, and they make it better than anyone else – ask any thru hiker and you will likely hear the same. In order to meet the Darn Tough standards a hiking sock must be durable. It must maintain its comfort, and it has to fit for miles upon miles on-trail. They never stop improving. They believe that they "have yet to produce our best sock, but we get better with every step."
From the AT to the Pacific Crest Trail, Darn Tough's "1466" Hiker raised the bar on what the ultimate hiking sock needs to deliver. Each year they hear from countless thru-hikers that this rugged sock is the only option that truly takes on the rigors of the trail. Discover the trail legend for yourself.

Cushion Details
These micro crew hiking socks feature soft terry loops underfoot and targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles - Darn Tough's most popular cushion style.
Features
- Men's micro crew socks average 8.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 6 in. above a low hiking shoe or just above a standard hiking boot.
- A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort.
- The 1466 is one iconic sock. They've made improvements along the way, because that's what they do, but you can't argue with a classic.
- Every toe seam is closed using True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
- Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather.
- Darn Tough's all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
- The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. Darn Tough knits all their socks at their VT-based Mills using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.
