The Darn Tough Men’s Light Hiker Micro Crew Lightweight Cushion Sock (Style 1972) in Taupe is a men’s micro crew hiking sock with a light cushion layer along the footbed — gentle rebound underfoot without bulk inside the shoe. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes during long days on trail.
The knit — 54% Nylon, 43% Merino Wool, 3% Lycra Spandex — runs nylon-leaning for durability against trail debris and repeated boot-friction wear, while the merino percentage handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through cool starts and warm ridges. The micro crew height sits just above the ankle — the standard rise for low-cut hikers and trail runners. Taupe is the warm earth-tone colorway that pairs with brown boots and olive layering.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
