The Darn Tough Men’s Sunset Ridge Micro Crew Lightweight Cushion Sock (Style 1997) in Grey/Charcoal is a men’s micro crew hiking sock with a lighter cushion layer along the footbed — a low-profile feel inside the shoe without giving up underfoot comfort. A horizon-striped colorblock is knit directly into the leg panel, and True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes during long days on foot.
The merino-nylon-spandex blend lets the merino percentage handle moisture wicking and temperature regulation across cool mornings and warm afternoons, while the nylon percentage keeps the sock durable against brush contact and repeated boot wear. The micro crew height sits near mid-calf — the standard rise for low-cut hikers, trail runners, and approach shoes. Grey/Charcoal is a two-tone neutral colorway that pairs with every trail kit in the closet.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
