The Darn Tough Men’s Hiker Boot Full Cushion Sock (Style 1403) in Charcoal 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 multi-day backpacking trips.
The knit — 64% Merino Wool, 33% Nylon, 3% Lycra Spandex — leans merino-heavy for moisture wicking and temperature regulation across cold summits and sweaty climbs, while the nylon percentage carries the sock through repeated boot-friction wear. Targeted arch support gently hugs the midfoot so the sock stays in place descent after descent. Charcoal is the deep gray workhorse hiking colorway that pairs with every boot and hiking pant.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and replaces any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes under its lifetime guarantee.
