The Darn Tough Women’s Hiker Boot Midweight with Full Cushion Sock (Style 1908) in Plum Heather is a women’s hiking and trail 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 — 69% Merino Wool, 27% Nylon, 4% Lycra Spandex — leans merino-heavy for moisture wicking and temperature regulation across uphill climbs and cold summits, and the 4% spandex holds the sock in place on a narrower women’s foot shape so it doesn’t bunch inside the boot. Targeted arch support gently hugs the midfoot so the sock stays in place descent after descent. Plum Heather is a soft purple heather colorway with subtle color depth — understated enough for daily trail wear.
