Darn Tough Hiker Boot Midweight with Cushion Socks
THE SOCK THAT MADE A NAME FOR ITSELF FROM THE PACIFIC CREST TRAIL TO THE AT.
"Must pack" durability meets undeniable comfort in a Full Cushion sock that absorbs the rigors of the trail. We make one thing, and we make it better than anyone else – ask any thru hiker and you will likely hear the same. In order to unconditionally guarantee a hiking sock for life, it must be durable. It must maintain its comfort, and it has to fit for miles upon miles on-trail.

KEY FEATURES OF THE HIKER BOOT
- Men's boot socks average 11 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 5 in. above a standard hiking boot.
- A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort.
- We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
- Reinforced footbed and Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer.
- Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather.
- Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.
- The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
- Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

REVIEWS
"I’ve been a Darn Tough customer for more than 25 years accumulating 30 pairs of DT socks. I wear them every day regardless of where I’m going or what I’m doing."
"These are without a doubt the best socks I’ve ever owned. Perfect length, perfect thickness, and extremely comfortable. I wear them more often indoors for just lounging around in the winter time."
"These are by far my favourite and the best quality socks I've tried. The fit is excellent, just following the sizing charts. The merino wool blend is exceptional and the designs are timeless." -
WHAT WE THINK
At Valley and Peak, we understand the importance of keeping your feet warm and comfortable during cold weather hikes, and the Darn Tough Hiker Boot Midweight Cushion Socks proved to be an excellent choice during our winter trips in the Cairngorms. These socks offered the perfect balance of warmth, cushioning, and durability, keeping our feet cosy even in the harsh conditions of the Scottish Highlands.
The midweight cushion provides added support, which is particularly useful on longer hikes through rugged terrain, and helps protect against blisters and soreness. We were impressed by how well the socks performed in the Cairngorms’ wet, snowy, and muddy conditions, keeping our feet comfortable throughout the hike.
One of the standout features of the Darn Tough Hiker Boot Midweight Cushion Socks is their durability. Despite enduring the tough winter elements—snow, ice, and rugged trails—the socks held up well, showing no signs of wear. The snug, supportive fit stayed in place all day, and the socks continued to deliver excellent performance after multiple trips. Plus, they come with a lifetime warranty, providing added peace of mind.
