A Vermont-inspired trio of lightweight hiking socks to make your friends jealous. Because that’s what our socks do best.

Commemorating 100 years of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), this Midweight Micro Crew pays homage to the evolution of long-distance backpacking and trail conservation. Emblazoned with their new centennial logo, 5% of sales from this hiking sock go directly to support the ATC’s trail maintenance and outdoor education programs.

You know those truck decals that indicate which partner is sitting on which side? These bear socks aren't quite like those, but if you wanted them to be, they could. The VanGrizzle was named after one of our own — it was his AT trail name. The Bear Town was named because it has a bear on it. Both are wonderful hiking socks, regardless of which side you sit.

Look no further if you're on the trail of our softest men's hiking sock. The Twisted Yarn that creates a natural, silky loft is not new, but the way we knit them for even longer-wearing comfort is. Midweight with cushion underfoot and in the leg for a softer step and hiking boot comfort.

Thru-hiking the PCT is not for the faint of heart. Though you might go it alone, you'll always be in good company with a pair of great-fitting, moisture-wicking socks. Your best bud is a lightweight hiker with enough cushion to keep your feet in prime condition. If you make it to Canada, swash those socks immediately and start planning the next trip — there's always available mileage when your socks are unconditionally guaranteed for life. We donate 5% of sales to help support the Pacific Crest Trail Association.

Named after one of our Mill workers, the Yarn Goblin gives a nod to creatures of the night. Best enjoyed fireside telling ghoulish ghost stories, this Lightweight Micro Crew is equipped to endure the monsters (and outlive them, too.) Featuring a smooth 1x1 rib knit pattern, these socks are bursting at the seams with comfort and spooky street cred.

Most folks hike in boots — we took note and updated our favorite Hiker to boot sock height. Dirt, rock, branch and cold-thwarting protection, in a bundle that ranges from lightweight to midweight, mellow to flared out style. Yeah, we’ve got you covered.

The only way to make it from New Mexico to Alberta on foot is with a few pairs of unbelievably durable socks. When your feet are your preferred method of travel, your gear has to be CDT-approved. Merino Wool comfort and moisture wicking is a must when you're sloshing through streams and racking up mileage. We donate 5% of sales to support the Continental Divide Trail Coalition, so thru-hikers like yourself can keep on soul searching in the great outdoors.

These Micro Crew Hikers are what keep our lights on. Our most popular hiking socks, ideal for day hikes, thru-hikes or mowing the lawn. Cushion underfoot gives a nice rebound and our signature height make these an easy go-to. Together, you can figure out if you’re keeping them on when the lights are off.

Do go chasing waterfalls, don’t stick to the rivers or the lakes that you’re used to. In these new Lightweight, tough but smooth-to-the-touch Micro Crew Hikers with cushion, chase waterfalls, and more in all-day comfort, durability, and flowing style.

The Boot Sock Hikers are one of the most sensible choices you can make. They’ve got a nice pedigree as an award-winner, they are one of the most reliable hiking socks in our line and the Boot Sock height is a style that is part every-day function and trailhead fashion. It’s a relationship that lasts, and that’s guaranteed for life.

Grandpa always said to use the right tool for the job. We bundled the ¼, micro crew and boot height versions of our iconic Hiker sock to match the length and terrain you’re tackling - each one tested and approved for the rigors of the most demanding trails and thru-hikes.

Your heart’s desire is to be told some mystery. So, here goes nothing. We don’t know what you’ll get, but based on your desired height, size, and gender, we’ll send you a pair. We’ll admit, it’s less a Sherlockian-riddle than it is a chance to score some exclusive knits. But even if the world’s best (British) detective did get assigned this case, odds are it would take him a lifetime to crack. Luckily, our socks are good for it.

His and hers. Perfect for couples, siblings, and parents. The lightest hiking sock we make, made just for you (and your better half).

Named after a 70's band that used to travel and perform at lean-tos along the Appalachian Trail, the VanGrizzle is seasoned for sure. Actually, we just made that up, but what's pure fact is how a Merino Wool trail sock is at home in the elements – so you don't have to grin and bear them.
