The Darn Tough Tactical Full Cushion Over the Calf Sock has high density cushioning throughout the sock for full on comfort and performance making it perfect for modern combat and tactical footwear; they work particularly well with the AKU Pilgrim boots.
The sock has a smooth performance fit to reduce slipping, bunching and blistering and they are higher over the calf height with a supportive and comfortable cuff that isn’t too tight. Comfort is further enhanced by the True Seamless construction which does away with bulky stitched seams and increases comfort.
Despite the slightly cheesy brand name these socks are amazing! What makes the Darn Tough socks so different and so durable is the way they are constructed; every sock is made with an incredibly high loop stitch count which produces more cushioned loops per square inch than any other sock. Not only does this provide supreme cushioning, but because the loops are so densely packed they cannot flatten and shear under use. This is how Darn Tough has managed to offer a lifetime guarantee on every sock which states:
“If our socks are not the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you have ever owned, return them for another pair, or your money back. No strings. No conditions. For life.”
These sublime socks are made from a mixture of 68% Merino wool, 28% Nylon and 4% Lycra. The fine gauge knitting makes this sock a true work horse that is supremely comfortable, breathable and fast drying. Merino wool has a natural ability to repel bacteria, so you can wear these socks for days before you need to wash them. This all-weather sock stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
We have been using these socks for a while now and I have to say that they are the best socks I have ever used in over 30 years.
