Give all your other hiking socks the boot. When we hit the trail our fiber of choice is either Merino wool or our own blend of Coolmax® for miles of comfort and durability. High density terry loop padding in the foot and shin areas won't flatten out under pressure. Trail tested on Vermont's own Long Trail our socks will provide you with an unrivalled level of cushioning performance whether you're sporting approach shoes or hiking boots.

The Merino ¼ Sock Cushion from Darn Tough is made in Vermont to be extremely durable. The high thread count provides for high density cushioning on foot bottom. Custom shrink treated Merino wool stands up to wash after wash. Ribbing above the ankle ensures a proper, no sag fit. Reinforced heel and toe resist wear. Elastic support around the arch for a bunch free fit. Ring toe construction for a comfortable invisible seam.

  • High Density Knitting. More knit stitches per inch equates to durability and cushioning without bulk.
  • Performance Fit. From form fitting toe boxes to sculpted heel pockets and knit-in elastic support at the arch, our knitting techniques produce the finest fitting performance sock available.
  • Merino Wool. Our custom count, shrink treated Merino wool enhances the comfort and durability that outdoor enthusiasts have come to expect expect from this fiber.
  • Cushion. For those who prefer a sock with less cushioning. Our cushion socks have dense terry loops on the bottom of the foot producing cushioning and warmth without bulk.
  • Ribbed Ankle Support. No Slipping. No Bunching. Helps prevent blisters
  • Elastic Arch Support. Knit into the arch of all of our socks to provide added endurance.
  • Ring Toe Construction. Terry loops surrounding the toe create a comfortable invisible seam.

      Comments about Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool 1/4 Socks Cushion:

      This is my fifth pair, I have given away most of my other socks and wear these constantly, year round.
      The first 3 pairs I bought 3 years ago are sill in great shape except one has a hole near the top from welding.
      I've tried all the top brands but none that I could find have come anywhere close to being so versatile. All the others seem nice and thick but compress down to ziltch before long. These are a very heavy,dense weave that doesn't compress.
      I can now wear most of my shoes that I had put aside because of hot spots.

        Comments about Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool 1/4 Socks Cushion:

        I have worn two pair alternately over 300+ backpacking days on the AT for over 4000 miles with little wear and no blisters. These are the best I have found and would not consider any other brands. After all, I have tried most at one time or another and have spent a small fortune on probably 50 pair of "hiking" socks before finding the best.

            Wore these for second time on 3 day mountain bike trip. Worked great, may be a little thick if you need real fast drying.

              I was introduced to this sock at the Vermount Marathon bought a pair at the exhibition and fell in love with it. I was sorry I didn't buy more for years when I accidentally found out how to get them(they are not available in Canada other than online). They put other socks to shame.

                  The ratings should be made after about a month of use, but so far so good. One hike down and many more to go (I hope).
