The Darn Tough Men’s Hiker Boot Full Cushion Sock (Style 1403) in Black is a men’s hiking sock with a dense full-cushion footbed that layers soft terry loops under the heel, arch, and ball of the foot for shock absorption on long trail days. The boot-sock height sits at mid-calf — clearing the top collar of lace-up hiking boots so the boot leather doesn’t rub bare skin. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly, so there’s no seam bump at the toes across back-to-back trail days.
The knit — 64% Merino Wool, 33% Nylon, 3% Lycra Spandex — leans merino-heavy for moisture wicking and temperature regulation through uphill climbs and cold summits, while the nylon percentage carries the sock through repeated boot wear. Targeted arch support gently hugs the midfoot so the sock stays in place descent after descent. Black is the all-terrain colorway that hides trail dirt across multi-day hikes.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee — any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes gets replaced for life.
