MATERIALS IN OUR SOCKS
Each materials we use in our socks has been rigorously chosen and examined to fulfill our rigorous sturdiness requirements. We at the moment use pure and artificial fibers, and solely 3 forms of fiber per sock. As you’d count on, we’re actively investigating and testing new fibers and yarn blends that don’t seem in our present merchandise. We’ve prioritized Merino wool all through our product strains and our purpose of manufacturing probably the most responsibly made product is mirrored in our dedication to the success of the Accountable Wool Normal.
MERINO WOOL
Merino wool is crucial and relied upon fiber in our merchandise and accounted for 56% of our yarn consumption by weight final 12 months. For a few years we’ve prioritized the usage of Merino wool solely from sheep that haven’t been uncovered to the follow of mulesing. In early 2019 we made a dedication to assist the Accountable Wool Normal (RWS) and shift 100% of our wool provide to RWS-certified Merino wool.
RWS is a voluntary normal with strict tips to guard animal welfare and cling to progressive, sustainable farm and land administration practices whereas sustaining traceability all through the whole provide chain.
Though the market share for RWS is simply estimated at ~1% of worldwide wool manufacturing, the variety of licensed sources has grown considerably during the last couple years. At this time, 100% of the wool we procure is RWS-certified.
RECYCLED NYLON
We use REPREVE, a nylon 6 fiber produced from pre-consumer industrial waste that might in any other case be landfilled or downcycled. Utilizing REPREVE as an alternative of virgin nylon permits us to offset the usage of crude oil, benzene, cyclohexane, and different dangerous hydrocarbons which might be concerned within the manufacturing of virgin fiber. Briefly, utilizing recycled nylon conserves vitality and water and reduces greenhouse gasoline emissions from manufacturing. Whereas we purpose to scale back our use of virgin nylon in our merchandise, recycled nylon solely accounted for 4% of our nylon consumption final 12 months.
We’re actively working with our suppliers to supply extra recycled nylon so we will incorporate it throughout our product strains. Thus far, nylons generated from pre-consumer waste materials have held up effectively towards our sturdiness necessities, however we’d like to search out an equally good supply of post-consumer recycled nylon or yarns that mix each pre and post-consumer nylon.
SPANDEX/ELASTANE
We use Lycra to offer elasticity, power, and form-fitting consolation. Whereas spandex accounts for not more than 5% of the fiber utilized in our completed product, it represented 27% of the uncooked supplies we procured final 12 months. Like standard nylon, spandex is derived from petroleum and has been essential to the efficiency of our merchandise. Sadly, it’s probably the most troublesome materials in our fiber combine to switch with a recycled various.
In relation to synthetics, we’re primarily centered on changing virgin nylon and polyester to recycled options. Nonetheless, we’re additionally in search of practical, recycled spandex options.

THE Sock to Rule All Others
I haven’t felt compelled to review any item before, but I feel like I’d be doing Darn Tough Vermont a grave disservice if I neglected to write a short review of their fabulous socks. If you’re on the fence about these socks because of the price, do yourself a favor and buy them. These socks more than make up for the rather high price through quality, materials used, and performance. The stitching in the toes and heel is very heavy and durable. I’ve already worn these socks on multi-mile walks and hikes, and they feel great even in the awful heat and humidity of Mississippi. The blend of the socks (merino wool, nylon, and lycra spandex) does an excellent job of wicking moisture, and I have developed no blisters or even hot spots with these form-fitting sleeves of wonder. Speaking of form-fitting, these socks are a snug fit by design. If you don’t like having tight socks, you might want to go up a size but I love the way they feel. These socks do not bunch or sag down your calf the way cotton socks do. I haven’t had these long so time will be the true test, but I anticipate no issues. And if the socks do form a hole or otherwise present me with some problem, Darn Tough Vermont offers a lifetime warranty – no questions asked. How many companies stand behind their products like that?One thing I’d mention that I haven’t seen in other reviews: If you wear mid-length hiking boots (such as Merrell Moab mid-length), you might want to consider the Darn Tough crew type sock instead. The boot sock comes up to roughly the middle of my calf – quite a bit above the top of my mid-length pair of Moab Ventilators. I don’t mind the length whatsoever, but it is worth mentioning.

Best socks
I first bought these years ago for my boyfriend who always complained about polyester socks irritating his skin when we were hiking. He has said that these are his all time favorite socks and asks for more pairs every year for Christmas. They make an awesome stocking stuffer for outdoorsy people! Incredibly well made and last forever. Thick enough to add comfort and support in hiking boots, but not too hot.

Best Socks in the World – Made in Vermont
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!JimmyUpdate: 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.

Best Socks for boots
These socks feel extremely comfortable, they fit and stretch nice around the calf. Compared to wrangler, they may be more expensive but itâs definitely worth it. They have solved my blister problems Iâve had with my police boots, would definitely recommend as the company does have a pretty nice customer service system.

Amazing socks! Bought in 2015, still like new!
These socks have been nothing short of amazing! I have no conflicts of interest and didn’t get these socks as part of any promotion. I have used these socks since purchasing in 2015 for hiking, skiing, and mountaineering. They are seriously as good as new. I rotate 3 pairs of the socks, but usually on ski trips for up to 5 days or so I will frequently stay with the same pair for the entire trip but bring a back up just in case. I rarely if ever switch to another pair because they hold up so well and really have never started to stink. It’s nothing short of amazing. Please, please, please Darn Tough; never sell out to another company that does the usual thing and screws up your quality and customer service! This is, for me, a peak example of an extremely high quality product and company!Highest praise and recommendation.

The one the only
What can I say? They are darn tough. Warm and wool.
Chris Smith –
Too tight for wide feet and big calves
I gave 4 stars because these socks are VERY well made, and very comfortable if they fit right. I withheld a 5th star because of sizing issues. I wear a size 12 E or EE shoe, depending on manufacturer. I bought the X-Large size socks (12-14), and the length in the foot is good. However, the width of the sock is too narrow, at “full-stretch” to fit my foot width, it squeezes the foot so tightly that my foot begins to hurt. And the upper part of the sock is so tight that it leaves dents in my shins and lower calf.I’m bummed because they are soft, and feel like they would otherwise be very comfortable. Unfortunately, I bought three pair, and TRIED to love them, but I canât wear any of them for more than about an hour at most. Frustrating.Highly recommend if you have narrower feet and skinnier calves.

Very comfortable socks
These are my husbands favorite socks for his work boots. They are wool so they wick away moisture. The cushion on the bottom of the sock helps with comfort.
