Darn Tough Hiker Boot Midweight with Cushion, Charcoal, Large

This is not my first pair of these socks. True to your expectations of Merino wool, they are fantastic for thermal regulation in a wide variety of conditions. And they have impeccable design, attention to detail, and the quality of construction that you expect from the Darn Tough brand. They breathe exceptionally well, despite being thick and well-cushioned. Aside from hot summer conditions, these are an excellent choice for all-around socks. They also keep my boots from getting stinky and hold up really well to regular machine washing/drying. Here in Michigan, I use them starting in fall, all the way through winter, and into spring until the weather turns warm. Despite having super warm boots, these do not cause my feet to overheat. But they also don't let my feet get cold. I also like the precise sizing available as a size medium is just right for my 8.5 foot.

These might be the perfect hiking socks. They provide just the right amount of cushion on the bottom to provide comfort, but have thinner material on the top to allow feet to cool off. I have had problems with my feet getting too warm with Smart Wool hiking socks in the past due to the cushion all the way around the foot, but that is not an issue with these. I am concerned that these socks are going to pill, but I'm willing to live with that to have the comfort level these socks provide.

I've tried the other well known brands of wool hiking socks, and can truthfully say these feel the best for first time and in all day use. They've been thru the wash and still feel great. Pleasantly surprised! So now it's time to load up with other colors!

I bought these socks for hiking and outdoor work in the colder months. Now, these have been my go to, everyday socks as well. It's because they are so comfortable (no seams) and they keep my feet warm but not sweaty. They keep their shape wash after wash. And they are guaranteed for life! Can that be? My oldest pair is 2 years old.

These socks proved tough, comfortable and offer excellent support ! My new favorite work and play socks !!! On days when my step count exceeds 15k, these socks are at their best demonstrating their comfort and toughness so my feet are ready for another adventure the next day !

Love DT socks! They're my go-to for backpacking, hiking. So naturally when I got a pair of high top winter boots I got this taller pair to gain protection higher up on my legs. Med offers a great fit (I wear a 9.5 boot) for me, and it's tough to wear the Darn things out!

All along, I think socks are insignificant gadgets. Because I have more outdoor activities this year, I started to pay attention to outdoor equipment. When I was browsing the Internet, I found that many people recommended this sock. I tried to buy a few pairs in moosejaw, and moosejiw always shipped quickly. When I put on a day, I really felt it was different. Darn tough made my feet feel warm and dry. It doesn't slip, it wraps my feet like baby skin, and it doesn't smell! I love it. The "socks" I used to wear are just things that wrap my feet. . I plan to dispose of my previous so-called "socks". In the future my socks = DT. I will continue to buy more styles of DT to enrich my socks drawers.

They got the name right - Darn Tough. I've bought into this brand for hiking and wear it for nearly everything 'foot' related including distance running. They are so well made I haven't had to trade them in yet to take advantage of the warranty. I'll keep coming back.

I ordered a pair of these socks to try. I've been trying different brands and none of them have stood the test of time. The first time I wore these socks I could feel the difference! I liked them so much I ordered 4 more pair. Only time will tell, but I have a feeling that these socks truly are "darn tough"
