Darn Tough, 1974 Number 2 M/C

Honestly, when the Men’s Health 2021 Outdoor Awards tagged our Number 2 sock as their Best Hiking Sock, we were moved. Personally, we think it’s the No. 1 sock when nature calls. Look closely at this hike sock and you’ll see what we mean. Either way, a blown-out seam should be the least of your worries. That’s why the Number 2 is also No. 1 when it comes to long-lasting toughness and active comfort as well.

• Men's micro crew socks average 8.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 6 in. above a low hiking shoe or just above a standard hiking boot.
• A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort.
• We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
• Reinforced footbed and Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
• Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather.
• Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
• The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
• Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

These micro crew hiking socks feature soft terry loops underfoot and targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles - our most popular cushion style.

Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean. You can learn more about how to wash merino wool socks here.
