The Darn Tough Style 1405 Hiker Boot Sock is a mid-calf merino wool sock knit with high-density full cushion running the length of the foot. The cushion adds real impact absorption underfoot for long days carrying weight, and the fine-gauge knit keeps the sock compact enough to fit inside a hiking boot without pressure points. True Seamless toe construction removes the traditional seam at the toe box.
Mid-calf height protects the lower leg from boot tops and brush, and the Walnut colorway a warm brown that pairs with leather boots and lighter trail wear. The 66% merino wool / 32% nylon / 2% Lycra blend wicks moisture, regulates temperature, and naturally resists odor over multi-day trips — the reason this style handles day hikes, backpacking, hunting, and work wear without becoming a single-use item.
Darn Tough is family-owned and still knits every pair at their mill in Northfield, Vermont. The lifetime guarantee is unconditional — wear them out, get a new pair.
