Description

A low hiking sock that stays below your shoe collar. It fits snugly around the foot, so it doesn't shift or bunch up in low trail and hiking shoes. Mesh on top of the foot lets heat out on warm days.

Cushioning under the whole sole. The terry loops underfoot absorb the knocks of hard, rocky trails. You notice it most in the last hours of a long day hike, when your feet get tired and every stone counts. The merino wool keeps your feet drier.

Pick this one for summer hikes in low shoes. In mid or high hiking boots the shoe collar rubs against your bare ankle. Then go for the 1987 Light Hiker Quarter, which reaches just over the ankle.

Light, airy and invisible. Not made for high boots or cold days.

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

Does this sock fit in high hiking boots?

Better not. This no-show doesn't come up above the shoe collar, so in mid or high boots the shoe can rub against your ankle. Pick a quarter or micro crew instead, like the 1987 Light Hiker Quarter.

How much cushioning does the 1986 Light Hiker have?

Light cushioning: terry loops under the whole sole, with thin mesh on top of the foot. Enough for long day hikes, without making your shoe feel fuller.

Can I also use this sock for running?

You can, it fits well in low trail shoes. For running, Darn Tough also makes Run socks that are even thinner, like the 1043 Run No Show.

Heerlijke zachte zolen, zeer comfortabele wandelsok. Zeker als je wat gevoelige voorvoeten hebt, zoals ik.
