About this piece

You asked, and we listened. Our Light Hiker boot sock, now available in a taller height, is the solution. While providing all the benefits of Merino Wool — durability, thermoregulation, and odor-resistance — this taller height adds tick protection and shin cushioning. Reinforced at the toe and heel, and featuring light cushioning, these will keep your feet comfortable during all-day explorations.

About the artist

Ric Cabot's family has been making socks in the same Northfield mill since 1978. When cheap imports nearly killed the business, Ric pivoted to premium merino wool and slapped an unconditional lifetime guarantee on every pair. The bet worked. Darn Tough now knits over 30,000 pairs a day, employs 300+ Vermonters, and has an estimated return rate under 3%. The guarantee isn't a gimmick — it's a quality control mechanism that forces them to build socks that simply don't wear out.
