Darn Tough Vermont Men's Hiker Boot Midweight Hiking Socks

I've had these socks for 5 years. Worn almost daily for work out on the flight line, suffering lots of walking, hiking, and a little running. I see no reason why they won't last another 5 or more years. They're warm in the winter, and well worth the price if you're looking for a pair of socks that won't rip or tear after a few months. They certainly live up to the name.

I have purchased a few Darn Tough socks (leaving review on only one)... they are expensive as heck but so far despite washing them all 30+ times, the bottoms aren't wearing away like usual cotton socks. I don't know how long these things should last but they are trending to seem to last a lifetime at least in my use case. Maybe the elastic material inside of them will eventually degrade and give out if that's going to happen over time. 🤷‍♂️ In the time I have had all my Darn Tough socks, I would probably have gone through two iterations of replacing my cotton Gold Toe socks. What I mean to say is, up front they are pricey, but I am reaching the point of quality over quantity in terms of ROI. I still have what appears to be a lot more life in my Darn Tough socks still that justify their initial cost. They are thick on the bottoms, look well constructed, and are comfortable. Maybe a little on the tight size for their 'size'. Also maybe not suited for summer heat, but I endure. Do recommend giving them a trial/sample run if you are in a limbo state of trying to justify cost. I gave them a 'trial run' and am now ~12 pairs in on my 'trial'.

This is my 1st pair of Darn Tough Boot Socks. I already have two pair of the Crew Socks. They are not cheap $$, but you get what you pay for. The crew socks are great for my light hiking boots and approach shoes. The boot socks are a perfect fit for my 10" steel toed work boots. Padded in all the right places. What makes these socks a real winner though is the blend of materials they are made from. I can wear the socks in leather work boots and my feet stay dry at 90 Deg. temps. and warm at 10 Deg. temps all day. Neat color combinations too. "Made in Vermont" on the tag has always been a symbol of quality to me as a Native Vermonter. Lately, it's been a bit over-used though and some products are just... meh? Darn Tough socks however are the kind of quality product that Vermonters can be proud of and I hope you guys and gals keep making them here for a long time. They are kind of like the Vermont equivalent of LL Bean's Maine Hiking Boot. Recommended! Jimmy Update: Having used these socks for an extended period of time I am leaning strongly toward the boot socks vs. the crew for any boot 8" or taller. Having several inches of sock above the boot top helps you to keep them cinched up properly. The crew sock and an 8" boot (work boot, hiking boot) will leave you having to make more adjustments during the course of the day, whereas, the boot top size sock keeps them from diving down into the boot and everything seems to stay in-place. Great socks, I hardly wear my Thorlos anymore.

The seller shipped these socks fast! The quality is very good but I wasn`t sure what size to order after reading some reviews. I wear a size 12 shoe and don`t like my socks short and tight on my feet , so I ordered the 12 1/2 to 14 size and they were a pretty nice fit on my feet and in my work boots. They sure are expensive though! And I am not sure what the warranty covers as far as a hole in the toes and so on.

These lasted me 12 years, and when they finally got a hole in them, Vermont replaced them free of charge. I will never wear, or recommend anything else. Also they're the best socks money can buy for comfort etc.

These socks are awesome. I've had a couple pair for over two years with no sign of wear. Great for hiking, and the lifetime guarantee is nice to have.

Nice sock. Quality wool/knitting. Does not stay up. Certainly way overpriced. I'd say $17.00 USD, Max.

My husband loves them and I can tell he loves them because he just keeps doing laundry to wear the same socks 😜
