Height: 1/4 Crew
Weight: Lightweight
Max Patch, located just west of Asheville, NC, is one of the most popular spots on the Appalachian Trail for its 360 degree views. Part of the Farm to Feet Appalachian Trail collection, the Max Patch quarter crew sock features an infinite loop of mountain tops around its ankle, much like the view from the mountain’s grassy summit. The foot of the sock is based off our popular Damascus with targeted cushioning and reinforcement zones for superior comfort and durability, but in a lower height and great ankle-high views.
-
U.S. Merino Wool
Merino wool is soft, itch-free, naturally odor- and bacteria-resistant, cool in the summer and warm in winter. We source our 100% U.S. grown merino wool exclusively from sheep raised by American farmers on American farms.
-
Targeted Light Cushion
High-density cushion targeting critical performance areas throughout the sock.
-
1/4 CREW
Just above the ankle.
-
Seamless Toe Closure
Advanced knitting techniques create a totally flat connection in the toe box, reducing bulk and eliminating blister-generating friction.
-
Durability Assured
Reinforced construction and low-stress seam placement reduce wear and tear, increasing the life of the sock.

Every year I have the lucky experience of traveling with my sister and brother in law to a National Park. As a "thank you " I purchase us all a pair of Farm To Feet socks, usually matching. They happen to live in N.C. and so appreciate them that much more! We love hiking in your quality comfortable socks! Thanks to all your employees and affiliates!

I Love these socks! They are very well made, very comfortable and Made in America! I have been on a mission to find socks made in America and about a year ago I ordered some Farm to Feet socks and have been very pleased with them. After a dog chewed a hole in one of my socks, I ordered several more pairs. They are comfortable, soft and durable and they feel great on my feet. They have just the right amount of cushion! I’ll be ordering more, even if the dog doesn't chew a hole in them! Thankfully he outgrew that!
Kathleen G.
Love them
Kathy
Love these as much as my darn tough and farm to feet has cuter styles
Richard R.
Every foot is different. I have tried many different brands of hiking socks and Farm to Feet are the absolute best!
Best for breathing, extraordinary wear and comfort.
I don’t own any other brand now. Please don’t ever change this quality product! (Other than colors and styles Lol)
Tracy P.
Great socks! Bought several pairs that I used hiking and mountain biking in Acadia National Park. Super comfy and cushy.
Katherine H.
I love the Max patch 1/4 socks - very comfortable in my hiking and trail running shoes, excellent quality, beautiful colors! My feet are usually women's size 9.5, but sometimes size 10 depending on how different brands of hiking/running shoes fit. So I'm kind of between sizes on the size chart, and I opted for the size L socks instead of size M because my toes like to have plenty of space! These socks just what I was hoping for!
Bonitia
Love the colors, fit and wear. Very soft.
Trevor B.
Best Socks I have found for trail running.

On my feet all day at work. Have some neuropathy in my feet. Have great tennis shoes but have been looking for a sock that felt good. Love the feel of “farm to feet” . They are soft, well cushioned and conform to my feet like a big hug.
Terri P.
Great sock for different style shoes, very comfortable, thanks!
Donna
Great quality! Comfortable. I’m replacing my sock wardrobe to farm to feet socks!
Barbara B.
These socks are GREAT, the arch support makes them so comfortable
Linda
Love the color, fantastic quality but runs small. So unfortunately won't be ordereing more cause they are well worth the $$$. Also suggestion: for elderly...might want to make skid resistant pairs available.
gregg m.
They’re fun and different
Kirsten M.
My feet are so warm my dog want to snuggle with them!
Melissa T.
I've explored several brands, and Farm to Feet are my favorites, thus far. I love the Max Patch design and comfortable sole support. I wear these running errands, or while enjoying an urban hike on my city's trails. Highly recommend!
Margaret M.
I need warm socks that cover my ankle, bought 2 pair of these and love them. They also look like new eve after being washed!
Jeanne R.
Comfortable, warm, cozy-looking. And I appreciate that they’re a natural product made in the USA.

Putting on these socks for the first time was like getting hugged by your Grandma on Christmas morning.
I loved them so much I took them all the way to Kenya and hiked Mt Longonot in them. I look forward to many more adventures in my Max Patch socks.
Robert C.
ALWAYS comfortable and withstands the most difficult conditions. This is my 3rd pair (I like to change them out). The socks are built to last. Not too concerned with fashion, but they look good anyway.
Helen C.
This was a gift and they loved it.
Robin S.
I love these short socks for summer hiking! The tan color is perfect so the dust blends in and they match with anything. Definitely my favorite new Farm to Feet socks!!
Randall H.
Great socks
Gretchen H.
I saw these socks at a local hiking store and the cool design caught my eye. When I saw they were completely American made I had to try them out. Well, I liked them so much I bought 3 more pair and they are my go-to hiking socks for the Summer. Nice and lightweight, cushioning in the right places, so cool-looking, and USA-made! I'm sold and will be trying out more socks in the future. Thanks Farm to Feet!
Michael E.
One word Outstanding! Best socks ever!
Linda N.
Love these socks. I was given a pair as a gift for Christmas and loved them so ordered more. The fact that they are made in USA sold me.
Beth M.
My first pair of farm to feet, hanging out on the pack after a hike on a cold and wet day. They are beautiful. They are comfy. They are going to be with me for a long time.

Feet great

Damascus weave in a fun color pattern. Easy to love and enjoy. These perform so well for me, I’ve ordered them multiple times.
Barbara P.
These are the best hiking, athletic, leisure etc socks ever! Plus these are USA made! We buy Farm To Feet socks every year for stocking stuffers and gifts for our special peeps!

The Farm to Feet socks are quality items and some of them, maybe most of them, are produced in America. Some contain Merino wool, and that is the kind I try to buy. This kind of sock, the Max Patch, has an unfortunate name due to the overuse and detrimental effect hiker-tourists have had on that area of the North Carolina mountains. But the socks themselves are excellent. They are strong and well-woven. Even the Farm to Feet Company's lightly padded socks provide more cushion than other brands I have tried. I like the F to F three-quarter crew length, which is a tad longer up the ankle than other brands, too. Fuzz does not ball up on these socks when they are worn hiking, and then fall off leaving thin spots on the sock. They are great in warm weather, wicking sweat and not causing blisters. Maybe there are better socks. But for day-in, day-out walking around over distance, these are reliable, sturdy, and long-lasting.
