Initial Thoughts on the Darn Tough Treeline Micro Crew Hiking Socks

In terms of Goldilocks, these Midweight Hiking socks are not too thick and not too thin – they are just right. I tested these out in weather down to ~30° F and did not experience any chilly toes or discomfort. If anything, there was an additional level of comfort provided from the targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles – these are Darn Tough’s most popular cushion style and I can tell why. These socks are an all-season weight and thermoregulate, so I look forward to also being able to wear them when the weather warms up.

Pros Cons
  • Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee, if you wear a hole in them you can send them back for a replacement
  • Expensive
  • Great colors & outdoor designs
  • Could be a smidge longer to work better for my taller boots
