Darn Tough Men's Fred Tuttle Micro Crew Midweight Work Socks Overview
Long days on your feet demand socks that can keep up, and the Darn Tough Men's Fred Tuttle Micro Crew Midweight Work Socks are built specifically for the job. Sitting around 15 cm above a low work shoe, their Micro Crew height works particularly well with work boots, leather boots and barn boots without adding unnecessary height.
A high-density Merino wool blend helps regulate temperature and move moisture away from your feet, keeping them comfortable across changing conditions. Midweight construction provides a little more substance for hardworking feet, while terry loop cushioning protects the footbed and ankle throughout long days of standing, walking and working.
Darn Tough's Performance Fit keeps the socks securely in place to help prevent slipping, bunching and hot spots, while additional cushioning around the Achilles improves both comfort and durability in an area that regularly rubs against footwear.

Materials
Made from 62% Merino Wool, 35% Nylon and 3% Lycra Spandex, the Fred Tuttle combines natural temperature regulation and moisture management with the durability and stretch needed for demanding everyday use.
Merino Wool
Making up 62% of the fabric blend, Merino wool provides natural temperature regulation that helps keep your feet comfortable across a wide range of conditions. Its fibres naturally create small insulating pockets to retain warmth when needed, while also allowing heat and moisture to escape.
Merino wool also moves moisture away from the feet, helping them stay drier and fresher throughout long working days.
Nylon
Nylon accounts for 35% of the sock's construction, adding strength and durability. It reinforces the Merino wool fibres to help the socks withstand repeated wear, friction from work footwear and regular washing.
Lycra Spandex
The remaining 3% Lycra Spandex provides stretch and shape retention. It helps the sock maintain a close, secure fit around the foot and lower leg while supporting Darn Tough's Performance Fit.
Fibre percentages may vary slightly.
Features and Technologies
Midweight Construction
The midweight knit provides a balance of protection, warmth and breathability for hardworking feet. It offers more substance than lightweight socks without becoming unnecessarily bulky inside work footwear.
Cushioned Footbed and Ankle
Terry loop cushioning protects the footbed and extends around the ankle, providing additional comfort in areas exposed to repeated pressure and impact throughout the working day.
Reinforced Achilles Cushion
Additional cushioning around the Achilles improves comfort where boots can create pressure or rubbing. The reinforcement also helps increase durability in this high-wear area.
Performance Fit
Darn Tough's Performance Fit is designed to sit securely around the foot without slipping or bunching. Reducing unwanted movement inside your footwear also helps minimise the development of uncomfortable hot spots.
True Seamless Toe
True Seamless Toe construction creates an ultra-smooth, virtually undetectable seam around the toes. This reduces unnecessary bulk and irritation inside close-fitting work footwear.
Natural Thermoregulation
Merino wool naturally responds to changing temperatures. Its structure provides insulation when conditions are cooler while allowing heat and moisture to escape when your feet warm up, making these socks suitable for work across varied conditions.
Moisture Management
Merino wool moves moisture away from the feet, helping to maintain a drier, more comfortable environment during long periods of activity.
