The Darn Tough Men’s Light Hiker Micro Crew Lightweight Cushion Sock (Style 1972) in Denim is a men’s micro crew hiking sock with a lighter cushion layer along the footbed — the most versatile construction in the Darn Tough line for a low-profile feel inside the shoe without giving up underfoot comfort. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes during long days on trail.
The knit — 54% Nylon, 43% Merino Wool, 3% Lycra Spandex — runs nylon-forward for durability against brush contact and repeated boot wear, while the merino percentage handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation across cool mornings and warm afternoons. The micro crew height sits just above the ankle — the standard rise for low-cut hikers, trail runners, and approach shoes. Denim is a mid-blue colorway that pairs easily with neutral trail clothing and everyday boots.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
