Darn Tough - Merino Wool Cushioned 1/4 Crew

These socks have a lot going for them. For starters, Darn Toughs are made in Vermont of earth-friendly wool, so there's no nasty post-purchase aftertaste. But the nice company story means very little if the socks don't perform, and these do. The folks at Darn Tough are sticklers for a dense knit, which maximizes softness and durability without adding bulk. And, with a form-fitting toe box, sculpted heel pocket, and knit-in elastic arch support, they stay put-on how you put 'em on. The cushioned model you are looking at here -- a past TrailRunner Best in Dirt award winner -- has dense terry loops on the bottom of the foot around the heel and toe, which adds cushioning and a bit of warmth, but no bulk. Unconditional lifetime guarantee.
