The Darn Tough Men’s Paul Bunyan Over-the-Calf Full Cushion Sock (Style 2003) in Gravel is a midweight men’s work-and-outdoor sock with high-density cushioning running through the entire sock — not just under the foot — so the leg gets the same comfort as the footbed across long days in stiff boots. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam rubbing on the front of the foot during long standing shifts.
The knit — 68% Merino Wool, 28% Nylon, 4% Lycra Spandex — leans heavy on merino for moisture management, temperature regulation, and odor control across long wear cycles. The nylon percentage keeps the sock durable against abrasive boot wear, and the spandex percentage tightens the leg so the sock stays up over the calf without slipping. Gravel is a neutral gray-brown colorway that works with most boot colors.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee — any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes gets replaced for life.
