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 light cushion layer along the footbed — gentle rebound underfoot without bulk inside the shoe. 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-leaning for durability against trail debris and repeated boot-friction wear, while the merino percentage handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through cool mornings and warm afternoons. The micro crew height sits just above the ankle — the standard rise for low-cut hikers and trail runners. Denim is a muted blue colorway that pairs with earth-tone hiking pants and everyday casual wear.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
