The Darn Tough Style 1657 Standard Issue in Black/Charcoal is a lightweight crew sock with a thin layer of cushioning along the base of the foot. This is the most versatile knit Darn Tough makes — fine gauge, True Seamless toe, and cushion light enough that it fits comfortably in any shoe.
Built for daily rotation — office, errands, work boots, sneakers, and travel. The traditional crew height sits mid-calf so it doesn’t slide down, and the 49% nylon / 46% merino wool / 5% Lycra blend handles sweat, dries fast, and keeps the foot cool in summer and warm in winter. The merino content also fights odor, which is why this often becomes the sock people reach for every day.
Darn Tough is a third-generation family mill in Northfield, Vermont, and every sock carries an unconditional lifetime guarantee — wear it out, get a replacement.
