The Darn Tough Tactical Over-The-Calf Extra Cushion Sock (Style T4050) in Black is a unisex OTC-height tactical sock with extra-cushion density throughout the footbed and leg — a heavyweight platform for extended time on feet in boots. The over-the-calf cuff sits below the knee to protect the shin against boot contact, and True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes during long shifts.
The merino-nylon-Lycra blend lets the merino percentage handle moisture wicking and temperature regulation across cold mornings and hot afternoons, while the nylon percentage keeps the sock durable against boot blousing, patrol gear, and repeated wear. Reinforced high-wear zones at the heel and toe handle the rubbing that standard socks can’t, so back-to-back boot days stay blister-free. Black is the standard neutral colorway that pairs with every boot and uniform in the closet.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
