About this piece

What could be more Vermont-y than cows and chocolate chip cookies? The Dairy Air Crew is part of our Knit to Give collection, which means 5% of all sales go directly to the Vermont Food bank to help fight food insecurity in our home state. Add in cushioned, super-soft Merino Wool, plus durability that’s guaranteed for life, and you get farm to sneaker style that feels as good as it looks.

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.
