Product Description
A great everyday sock that’s durable enough for hiking and year-round wear, the Darn Tough Hiker cushioned boot sock offers supreme comfort for the adventure that lies ahead. Rising 11 inches above the heel, the socks are designed to prevent boot rub and stop debris from getting inside Read More
These are very beautifully made socks. They are literally twice the quality of the other "leading brand" of merino wool hiking socks. I do not believe there is anything better on the market. The cost, particularly here, is well worth it, if you care about your feet.
I alternate between standing at a desk for hours, travelling for hours, and walking for a hours.
Whether it's 38.5C/100F or 2C/35F outside, these are the socks I wear.
I find my feet a noticeably less sweaty in these than the DT CoolMax equivalent.
I bought a single pair of these to 'test' them out - wore them 5-6 days a week for nearly 6 months, without fault.
I still can't pick them from the newer pairs I have. I wash cold and dry on 'Delicate', and they are faultless.
I'm a bang on US 12 (Vans/Merrells/Garmont), and the XL is damn near perfect (the L is way too small).
My father is a size 13.5 and the 2XL work for him.
Edit: He's suggested the next lot I get be XL, as the 2XL does get a bit loose after they've been worn in.
badlucktvFor comparison I wear a 13.5-14 in US Men’s shoes and have never had an issue with the XL being too snug. I’ve never tried the 2XL, maybe they’d give me some more slack in the socks but I do prefer my socks to fit snug (not tight) in order to avoid bunching. For me the toe & heel line up perfectly.
I love these socks. I wear them summer or winter, all year long. They’re softer than any wool sock you’ve probably worn, they don’t even feel like they should be wool but that’s just how fine the threads are and the weave is so tight that I have some pairs which I’ve been wearing for 2 years and I can’t tell the difference between pairs that I’ve only worn for 2 months. Simply put these are the finest wool socks I’ve come across. I’m replacing ALL of my other wool socks with these. I own at least a dozen pair of these socks now and will be buying a dozen more. Taking care of your feet is the most important thing you can do and these socks will help make sure you treat your feet right.
