Description

Solid comfort for long days outdoors. This micro crew hiking sock feels soft and protected in hiking and trail shoes, without becoming excessively bulky. Especially during longer hikes, you will notice that your feet feel less fatigued.

Cushioning in the right places. Under the foot and around the Achilles tendon, the sock effectively absorbs impact and friction during rocky trails and long descents. As the mileage adds up, the fit remains stable without slipping or bunching.

Suitable for many different conditions. The merino wool helps regulate moisture and temperature during chilly mornings, wet patches, and warmer afternoons. As a result, the sock feels comfortable in various seasons and on changing terrain.

Choose this sock if you are looking for a reliable all-round hiking sock with extra comfort. Not if you primarily want light, cool, and direct contact with the ground.

Why Darn Tough?

After a few hundred kilometres, many socks start to wear thin at the heel. You want a sock that stays snug, doesn't slip and simply lasts. That's exactly why we carry Darn Tough at Trail.NL.

The socks are knit in Vermont, USA, from a blend of merino wool, nylon and elastane. The range goes from ultra-thin no shows for fast runs to cushioned models for long trails and hikes, all with a close fit.

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

Frequently asked questions

How thick is the Close Encounters?

It's a midweight sock with cushioning underfoot. Warmer and softer than a lightweight sock, ideal for long hikes and cooler days.

What is the sock made of?

58% merino wool, 39% nylon and 3% elastane.

How high does a micro crew come up?

A micro crew comes up just above the collar of a low hiking or trail shoe. In tall mountain boots, a boot sock is the better choice.

What warranty do I get?

Darn Tough gives a lifetime guarantee on its socks. If you do wear a hole in them, you can have them replaced through Darn Tough.
