REVIEWS
"I wore these socks on a 20 mile hike gone wrong. I got lost and ended up doing 30. No blisters in spite of rough terrain and a couple dunks in the river."
"We walk our dog twice a day on a 3.5 mile course, 100 degrees to 30 below. I always wear only only my darn tough socks. Heavy enough to protect my feet yet comfortable no matter what the weather"
"The best!" -
WHAT WE THINK
At Valley and Peak, we know that the right socks can make all the difference on a long hike, and the Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Midweight Socks proved to be an excellent choice during our thru-hike of the South Downs Way. These socks offer a perfect balance of comfort, support, and durability, making them a top pick for anyone taking on long-distance hikes or multi-day adventures.
The midweight cushioning provides just the right amount of padding without feeling bulky, while the merino wool blend helps regulate temperature and wick moisture away, keeping your feet dry and comfortable. We found these socks to be incredibly breathable, even during the warmer days of our hike, and they performed well in varying conditions, from muddy paths to rocky stretches.
One of the standout features of the Darn Tough socks is their durability. Despite covering miles on the South Downs Way, we didn’t experience any wear or tear, and the socks retained their fit and cushion throughout the trip. They also come with a lifetime warranty, which is a big plus for those looking for long-term performance.
For hikers looking for reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting socks, the Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Midweight with Cushion Socks are a must-have. They kept our feet happy and blister-free on the South Downs Way and would be an excellent addition to any hiking or outdoor clothing setup.
