In the heart of Vermont, Darn Tough Socks have been crafted with passion and precision for decades. Choosing Vermont wasn't the easy route—it was a deliberate decision driven by the desire to test and perfect their products in the unforgiving conditions of their surroundings.

Their commitment to excellence revolves around three key principles: Comfort, Durability, and Fit. Every sock is meticulously crafted to ensure it meets the highest standards, promising a lifetime of wear and tear resistance.

In 1989, Ric Cabot, the founder, made a bold move, leaving his publishing career to join his father at Cabot Hosiery Mills in Northfield, Vermont. Starting from the ground up, Ric worked his way to co-ownership, eventually spearheading the opening of a new mill in the same state.

When overseas manufacturing threatened their business, Ric had an idea: stay local and double down on quality. Thus, Darn Tough was born. Their socks made their debut in 2004 at the Vermont City Marathon, backed by a simple promise: wear them out, and they'll replace them for free.

The response was overwhelming. Customers quickly recognised the durability and comfort of Darn Tough's Merino Wool socks, leading to unprecedented demand. Today, Darn Tough continues to thrive, constantly innovating and refining their products.

Vermont isn't just where they make socks—it's ingrained in their identity. They're committed to their home state, supporting local communities and businesses while staying true to their roots.

As they celebrate 20 years of success, Darn Tough remains dedicated to crafting the best darn socks you'll ever wear, wherever your adventures take you. And with their sights set on the future, there's no telling what heights they'll reach next.

These socks are unconditionally guaranteed for life, that’s how much confidence the creators of Darn Tough have in these socks! They’re available in a range of colours and designs to suit all aesthetics. 

They’re the ultimate hiking sock with features such as no slipping, no bunching, no blisters, reinforced footbed and achilles cushion to improve comfort, and made from merino wool which naturally removes moisture to keep feet fresh and dry. 

Darn Tough socks come in various styles to suit all your hiking shoes throughout the year. Lightweight material not only feels great, it also allows your feet to breathe even on the toughest of pursuits, and helps to regulate your feet's temperature throughout the seasons and during the challenges of your day. 

Style with a range of our outdoor clothing, or store a couple of pairs in your backpack when you plan to be out on the trail for a few days.
