The Darn Tough Quarter Cushion Sock is designed for the trail walking and approach shoes, or even as an everyday sock. Fine gauge merino wool padding along the bottom of the foot provides luxurious and hard wearing comfort. The top of the sock is unpadded to provide better ventilation. The sock has a smooth performance fit to reduce slipping, bunching and blistering and they have a low ankle height with a comfortable cuff that isn’t too tight. They are perfect for all outdoor shoes and low boots. Comfort is further enhanced by the True Seamless construction which does away with bulky stitched seams and increases comfort.
Despite the slightly cheesy 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.”
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.
