Questions and answers

Are these socks worth $28?
If you hike often, yes. The merino blend, cushioning and lifetime warranty mean one pair can outlast several cheaper pairs. Casual walkers may find the price hard to justify.
How do they compare with Darn Tough's Light Hiker?
The Hiker Boot Midweight has more cushioning and a taller cuff, which suits stiff boots and cold weather. The Light Hiker is thinner and cooler for summer and trail runners.
What sizes and colors are available?
They come in men's sizes from Small through XX-Large and in several solid and striped colorways. Check the size chart, since Darn Tough sizing runs on shoe size, not sock length.
Are they machine washable?
Yes. Wash them inside out in warm water and tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener, which coats the wool fibers.
What is the warranty?
Darn Tough replaces socks that wear out under normal use, for life. You send the worn pair back and get a replacement.
When is the best time to buy?
Prices hold near $28 most of the year. Watch for markdowns during fall hiking sales and around the holidays, when multi-pair bundles appear.
Where is the Men's Hiker Boot Midweight Hiking Socks cheapest?
At Amazon, for $27.95, as of our latest check.
