My husband and I both have ordered several pairs each! We LOVE them! The hug of them on arch and the cushion create absolutely unbeatable comfort and the quality is unmatched!

Best socks ever. Have worn them for years for hiking and everyday use. No more sweaty, hot or cold feet... Threw all my other socks away. You have a customer for life here.

Darn Tough is my favorite sock of all time. Every iteration, from heavy duty to lightweight, from fashion to function, I highly recommend to anyone who wants high quality and excellent customer service.

Very comfortable and durable. I plan to only buy from Darn Tough until I die. I can’t wait to show them off to all of my family and friends.

Love them! Warm, soft, and keep my feet feeling good all day, even wearing steel toe work boots! Love how well they hold up and the warranty!

El fin🫶🏼 Ended my 2024 season on the most beautiful island with the best travel buddy around. It feels a bit odd to be finishing the year not feeling completely destroyed, but I could get used to this feeling! My dreams for 2025 are more clear, focused and lofty than ever, and I am stoked to start to work towards them (after refining my taste of matcha and very chill vibes)! Thankful for this beautiful planet for allowing me to create all of these memories this year🫶🏼

Did I bribe my employees to hike in a snow storm with me with darntoughvermont ? Yes. Would they have gone either way? Also yes. . Every year I feel so grateful for the people that choose to work here. I'm in constant awe of how incredible people can be. And we learn so much from every single person who walks through our doors. So here are some snippets of wisdom from some slightly feral dog people on a winter hike: - No bad weather. Just bad attitudes. - Have patience with everyone, but especially entry level employees in the service industry. - sometimes you just have to gun it and hope for the best - Life is short, try it all. - But most importantly, keep good company. . #sleddogs #husky #snowdogs #dogmushing #workingdogs #bigholemountains #dogmusherlife

Test and Trek 🎒🥾 An idea we had to educate our community on outdoor products as well as putting them to the test during a hike. This time round we headed to Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, for a cold, wet and windy ascent. Definitely putting our new gear to the test! A special mention to the team at springproutdoor for supporting the idea as well as the brands involved ospreyeurope hydroflask.eu buffofficial darntoughvermont nikwax Thank you to everyone who made it down and keep your eyes peeled for the next Test and Trek 👀 #AT95 #testandtrek

A morning of dreams 🌅 It was my first winter wild camp of the year and it couldn’t have gone better. Woke up in the clouds, only for them to sink to reveal my first cloud inversion. I’ve been trying for years to get a full 360 mountain cloud inversion, and yesterday was the day. I’m still on cloud 9, and editing these photos just brought all those wonderful feelings back. Shots taken on top of Mellbreak fell in the Lake District using a sony.unitedkingdom A7 IV and a djiglobal mini 3 pro. Have you witnessed a cloud inversion ? 🫶☁️ Outdoor Wardrobe: Jacket: montaneofficial Leggings: rab.equipment Socks: darntoughvermont Tent: oexoutdoors blacks_online #wildcamping #lakedistrict #buttermere #cloudinversion #crummockwater #mellbreak #girlswhohike #femaledronepilot #ukhiking #travelguide #uktravel #hiking #getoutdoors #ukwildcamping #outdoorliving
