Description

Light and direct, but less harsh on the foot. This sock feels thin and snug inside the shoe while the Cushioning under the sole, which provides extra comfort. As a result, the walking feel remains fast and smooth without becoming completely minimalist.

Developed for long training days. The merino wool efficiently wicks away moisture and heat so your feet stay drier during warm runs or intense sessions. Especially on asphalt or over longer distances, you will notice that the extra protection helps to slow down fatigue.

The higher ankle construction prevents chafing around the shoe edge and keeps the sock stable in place. Due to the tight Fit Fewer creases or pressure points develop while running. That helps when the pace increases or the kilometers start to add up.

For us, Darn Tough is above all a sock you can count on: comfortable, tough and backed by the brand's own lifetime guarantee.

Lichte versie van mijn favoriete sok, heerlijk!

Ik had al hiking sokken dan darn tough, maar die waren toch een beetje dik en lomp in mijn hardloopschoenen. Nu twee paar van deze. Ik ben gelijk weer verkocht, nooit meer wat anders als Darn Tough
