The Darn Tough Style 1466 Hiker Micro Crew is a fine-gauge merino wool sock with midweight cushion density running under the foot. The cushion placement is targeted — padded where weight loads through the footbed, thin everywhere else, which keeps the sock compact inside a hiking boot. True Seamless toe construction removes the seam at the toe box that typically raises blisters on long miles.
Micro crew height sits just above the ankle for protection without bulk, and this pair comes in Dark Teal — a muted blue-green that reads neutral under most trail pants and boots. The 63% merino wool / 35% nylon / 2% Lycra blend wicks sweat, dries fast, and regulates temperature across seasons, which is why this is the sock Darn Tough sells the most of.
Darn Tough knits every pair at their family mill in Northfield, Vermont. Lifetime guarantee — if the sock ever fails, it gets replaced.
