Merino wool body with seamless knit construction, midweight cushioning at the heel and forefoot, and the True Seamless toe that doesn’t have a ridge to rub blisters. Sized to fit snug — these aren’t loose drugstore socks. The micro-crew height clears the top of most hiking boots and falls below the calf so they don’t bunch under shell pants.
This is the sock that hikers wear to pass them along to friends. Day hikes, weekend backpacking, work boots in cold weather, daily wear in winter — the Hiker 1466 handles all of it. The lifetime guarantee is the kicker: wear them out, send them back, get a new pair. Darn Tough has been honoring it since the company started.
Knit at Cabot Hosiery Mills in Northfield, Vermont — family-owned since 1978.
