Description

A light sock that reaches just over the ankle. Thanks to the quarter height there's fabric between your ankle and the shoe collar. The sock is thin and fits snugly, so your shoe doesn't feel fuller.

Protection where low shoes rub. There's targeted cushioning over the ankle and Achilles, with soft terry loops underfoot. You notice it on long descents, when your heel moves in the shoe and the collar would otherwise start pressing. Mesh on top of the foot lets heat out.

Pick this one if a no-show is too low. Don't want to see any sock edge in low trail shoes? Then the 1986 No Show is an option. Want more cushioning for long or tough hikes, go for the 1958 Hiker Quarter.

Light and protective on warm days. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference with the 1958 Hiker Quarter?

Both reach just over the ankle. The 1987 Light Hiker is lighter and thinner, with mesh on top of the foot. The 1958 Hiker is a midweight sock with more cushioning, for tougher hikes or cooler weather.

Is this sock suitable for high hiking boots?

Better not: the cuff of a high boot comes up above the sock and can rub against your skin. For high boots pick a micro crew, like the 1967 Light Hiker Micro Crew.

Why merino wool in a summer sock?

Merino wool wicks moisture well, so your feet stay drier than in cotton. Darn Tough blends the wool with nylon and elastane for durability and a snug fit.

Top korte wandelsokken

Ik wandel al jaren weekenden en heb nu 4 dagen met deze sokken gewandeld en geen enkele blaar gehad terwijl ik dat eerder wel steeds had.
Ze zitten zeer comfortabel en het was warm weer (zelfs een dag 29 graden) aar de sokken stinken niet. De levering van Trainl.nl was ook weer snel. Echt een aanrader om te kopen

Bedankt! Die 1 ster hadden er dan waarschijnlijk 5 moeten zijn ;)

Super fijne en zachte sokken

Erg fijne, zachte naadloze sokken die goed ademen. Houden de voeten zowel warm als koel (afhankelijk van de omstandigheden).
