Description

Light, with an edge just above the shoe. The quarter height reaches just over your ankle, so the shoe collar doesn't rub against your skin. The sock is thin and snug, so your shoe keeps its fit.

Extra protection at the heel. There's targeted cushioning over the ankle and Achilles, with terry loops underfoot. You notice it most on long descents and in the last kilometres, when your heel starts moving more in the shoe. Mesh on top of the foot lets heat out.

Torn between light and more cushioning? This Light Hiker is the thin version for warm weather. Walking with a heavier pack or in cooler weather, go for the midweight 1959 Hiker Quarter.

Light and protective for low shoes. Not for cold or high boots.

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.

Geweldige sokken

Meer dan een jaar geleden hier besteld en de sokken zijn nog als nieuw naar vele wandelingen en wasbeurten. Ik herken het probleem met tenen persen niet, dus voor mij echt een aanrader!!

Super sok

Fijn materiaal, zit lekker. Stevig zonder te knellen

G

Het materiaal voelt erg fijn, maar ze persen de tenen bij elkaar als een te krappe schoen. Voor mij, of mensen die hun tenen de ruimte willen geven niet geschikt.
