Description

First off, the Polar Bear is beyond adorable. But we know you don’t buy a sock on looks alone. Take a closer look at the bear’s face – it’s knit specially to create a shin pad for ultimate boot comfort. Because bears always protect their cubs.

Features

Is this right for you?

Resort ski and snowboard days

Over-the-calf height finishes above the boot cuff, so no sock edge is trapped against the shin.

Not for: You want a thin liner for a race-tight boot fit. Shop all Darn Tough

Winter boots and cold commutes

Merino warmth and odor resistance go several days between washes, in a ski boot or a winter boot.

Not for: You need a low, no-show sock for sneakers. Shop all Darn Tough

All-season mountain wear

Merino regulates temperature, so these work well beyond the coldest days.

Not for: You run very hot and want a pure synthetic sock. Shop all Darn Tough

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question

How do I pick a sock size?

Darn Tough socks are sized off your shoe size — check the Darn Tough sock chart on this page. This style is offered in SM, MD, LG.

Will Merino wool make my feet itchy?

No. Darn Tough uses fine-gauge Merino wool, which is soft against the skin, naturally temperature-regulating and odor-resistant.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach, tumble dry low or hang dry, and do not dry-clean. Skip fabric softener, which flattens the cushion.

What is the guarantee?

Every pair is Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life. If they are not the most comfortable, best-fitting, most durable socks you have owned, return them for another pair.

Where are they made?

Darn Tough knits every sock at their mills in Northfield, Vermont, USA.
