The Darn Tough Men’s Shorty Heavyweight with Full Cushion Sock (Style 6118) in Rye is a men’s shorty-cut lifestyle and athletic sock with a dense heavyweight cushion footbed that wraps the foot in warm terry loops across cold-weather workouts and winter errands. The shorty height sits just above the ankle bone — low enough to stay under mid-top sneakers and boots, high enough to avoid slipping inside the shoe. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly, so there’s no seam bump during back-to-back gym days.
The knit — 74% Merino Wool, 24% Nylon, 2% Lycra Spandex — runs heavily merino-forward for maximum moisture wicking and temperature regulation across sweaty training sessions and cold outdoor workouts, and the nylon percentage keeps the sock durable against repeated shoe-friction wear. Targeted arch support hugs the midfoot so the sock stays in place through dynamic movement. Rye is the warm tan colorway that pairs with earth-tone athletic kits.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and replaces any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes under its lifetime guarantee.
