The Darn Tough Style 2017 Steely Work Sock is a 1/4 sock height merino wool sock designed to sit just above the ankle without the bulk of a crew. Fine-gauge knitting creates mid-level cushion density under the foot to absorb impact on hard surfaces, and True Seamless toe construction removes the usual seam that irritates on long days.
This is the sock for work boots, job sites, warehouses, and anyone on concrete all day. The 63% merino wool content wicks moisture and resists odor so the sock stays dry and functional through a full shift, 35% nylon gives it long-haul durability, and 2% Lycra holds the fit in place under repeated wear.
Darn Tough is a third-generation family business knitting socks at their mill in Northfield, Vermont. Every pair is covered by an unconditional lifetime guarantee — if they ever develop a hole, Darn Tough replaces them, no questions asked.
