The Darn Tough Style 1405 Hiker Boot Sock is a mid-calf merino wool sock knit with a high-density full cushion throughout the entire foot and leg. A fine-gauge knit keeps the sock thin enough to fit inside a boot while the cushioning absorbs impact and stays in shape, and True Seamless toe construction fuses the toe seam so you don’t feel it against your skin.
It’s built for actual hikes — day hikes, backpacking, multi-day trips, and long days on your feet in boots. The boot-sock height sits mid-calf to protect against lace pressure and debris, 66% merino wool wicks sweat and keeps temperatures regulated across hot and cold weather, and the 32% nylon / 2% Lycra blend holds the sock up all day without slipping or sagging.
Darn Tough has been knitting socks in Northfield, Vermont at their family-owned mill for three generations, and every pair — including this one — is backed by their unconditional lifetime guarantee: if they ever wear out, they’ll replace them for free.
