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 Crew 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.
  • 62% Merino Wool, 34% Nylon, 4% Lycra® Spandex

    Comments about Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool Crew Cushion Socks:

    I'm impressed...so far. They're guaranteed to not get a hole...for life! We'll see. I'm about to hike 600 miles on the Israel National Trail. While training, I was glad I got the next size DOWN (I'm a 13/14 and technically an XL would do but got the L that goes up to 12. Glad I did because the L is already stretched out a bit, even becoming a little "loose" but not objectionably yet.) Feel very comfy, don't feel any seams.

            Comments about Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool Crew Cushion Socks:

            ok, so the reason i didnt give em a 5 was b/c i havent used their warranty. so ive put these socks through the ringer and they performed very well. ive cycled over 200 miles of singletrack in these over past 2 wks. 60 miles in steady rain and although i was soaked to the bone my feet still were comfy. the temp was only a high of 50*. i use them the most out of several brands of merino wool socks. reasonable price and awesome warranty. ive paid double for others w/ far less warr.

                Bought for my husband to use for work in the winter when he is outside most of the time. I was very disappointed in these and returned them unused. They are thin summer hiking socks.

                  They were a fine choice for using sight unseen to go hiking in to waterfalls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in autumn. Days went from 38 to 74 degrees and my feet remained stable for comfort and temperature. Including a couple of accidental river dunks and removal (put back on with wet feet) to cross rivers.

                  I am very serious about hiking socks and have tried at least a dozen different kinds. So far, Darn Tough is the best. Really liked Campmor experience because I got to select the exact color and style. And, no, I am not related to the Darn Tough or Campmor companies.
