About this piece

The Hiker Micro Crew wasn’t the first sock we ever knit (that was a run sock) but it is our most popular. And no, we’re not twisting your arm – just a few yarns. Knit with a twist, this limited-edition Hiker twists together two single strands of Merino Wool, creating a buttery softness that’s extra cozy and silky-smooth. Plus, we think the heathered look is pretty rad. Limited offering but still Guaranteed for Life.

About the artist

Ric Cabot's family has been making socks in the same Northfield mill since 1978. When cheap imports nearly killed the business, Ric pivoted to premium merino wool and slapped an unconditional lifetime guarantee on every pair. The bet worked. Darn Tough now knits over 30,000 pairs a day, employs 300+ Vermonters, and has an estimated return rate under 3%. The guarantee isn't a gimmick — it's a quality control mechanism that forces them to build socks that simply don't wear out.
