The 2% spandex-not too much or too little-makes the socks fit so well that they feel as if they were custom-made for my feet. At the end of a long day of hiking, they never feel loose or stretched out. Whether in the hot desert, snow-covered mountains, or on long walks around the city, they’ve never slipped, sagged, or bunched up. I purchased these socks and have hiked thousands of miles in this model. What we like about the Hiker Midweight merino sock is that they have the perfect amount of stretch.
Best yet, it comes with a Lifetime Guarantee considered the most generous in the entire outdoor industry. This model is the most popular on Darn Tough’s website, and it’s an REI and Amazon top seller and called out in REI’s Best Hiking Socks guide. It hits that Goldilocks sweet spot of cushioning: they aren’t so thin that you’ll put holes in them in a week, but they’re also not so thick that you’ll need to buy shoes or boots a half size larger. For hiking, the best of the best is the merino wool sock Darn Tough Hiker Midweight ( women’s and men’s). We found consensus among experts and everyday users: Darn Tough makes the best socks. What we didn’t like: not as soft (but it isn’t itchy) What we liked: tight weave perfect fit, comfort, durability, lifetime warranty, perfect amount of stretch, retain shape at end of day Length Options: no show, ¼ crew, ¾ crew, crew Yarn (men’s): 61% merino wool, 36% nylon, 3% Lycra spandex Yarn (women’s): 59% merino wool, 39% nylon, 2% Lycra spandex No show, mini crew, quarter crew, crew, boot, mid-calf, kneeģ4% Wool, 34% polyester, 29% nylon, 3% elastane Wrightsock Double Layer Silver Escape Crew

We have the best moderate compression socks for hiking as well as medical-grade hiking compression socks. But we also have a top synthetic model, too. We know that some people will want to know the best merino wool hiking sock, so we have a pick for that. Along with our favorite Darn Tough socks, we tested the top models from Smartwool, Farm to Feet, REI Co-op, Swiftwick, Injinji, Point6, Wrightsock, Stox Energy Socks, Sockwell, Icebreaker, Balega, and Stance to find comfortable, sweat-free, blister-free options. We took the socks on everything from thousand-mile-long thru-hikes across the US and Canada to day-hiking in the Columbia Gorge to see how they perform under long and difficult conditions. We researched and tested 24 of the best hiking and backpacking socks over thousands of miles on trails, looking for the best mid-weight, lightweight, ultralight, budget, and cushioned hiking socks. That said, there are a number of other hiking socks that perform exceptionally well in certain situations. Of Darn Tough’s 105 models, the best for hiking is the women’s and men’s Darn Tough Hiker Midweight.

Among professional reviewers, hundreds of user reviews, and our own extensive experience testing different socks over thousands of miles in diverse climates from the snow to rainforest to desert, Darn Tough makes the best hiking socks out there. But it was actually the opposite- the consensus is pretty clear. With all the brands of hiking socks on the market (REI alone has 33!), you’d think it would be hard to decide on the best hiking socks.
