The Darn Tough Style 1466 Hiker Micro Crew is a fine-gauge merino wool sock with mid-level cushion density running under the foot. The knit is dense enough to absorb impact on trail miles without adding bulk inside a boot. True Seamless toe construction removes the typical seam at the toe box that rubs and raises blisters on long hikes.
Micro crew height sits just above the ankle — tall enough to clear hiking boot tops, short enough to stay out of the way in low-cut trail runners. The 63% merino wool / 35% nylon / 2% Lycra blend wicks sweat, holds shape through repeated washes, and stays warm when wet — the reason serious hikers pick merino over synthetic or cotton on multi-day trips.
Darn Tough is a family-owned mill that still knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont. The lifetime guarantee covers wear, tearing, and holes — send the pair back, get a new one, no questions asked.
