Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool Micro Crew Cushion Socks - Green/Lime Medium, Mid Cushion & Durable Fit

These Micro Crew socks from Darn Tough Vermont combine the natural performance of merino wool with reinforced construction to deliver breathable warmth, moisture control, and long-lasting fit. Knit in Northfield, Vermont, the 1466 pairs use a mid-level cushion underfoot for protection without bulk, and a precise stitch density that helps the sock hug your foot during active use. The Green/Lime colorway adds a subtle pop while remaining versatile for hiking, work, or everyday wear.

How do these socks manage temperature and moisture?

The merino-blend yarn naturally regulates temperature and wicks moisture away from skin, helping feet stay drier and more comfortable across varied conditions. The micro-crew height balances coverage and ventilation so your ankles get protection without excessive insulation.

• 61% merino wool for breathability and odor resistance
• 36% nylon adds durability and quick-drying performance
• wicking structure moves sweat away from the foot

What level of cushioning and protection do they offer?

These socks feature mid-level cushioning beneath the foot that softens impact while remaining low-profile in most footwear. The 1441 stitches per square inch create a dense knit that maintains padding where you need it and resists wear and tear.

• Mid-level cushion underfoot for comfort on trails and hard surfaces
• Dense stitch count for even cushioning and improved durability
• Reinforced zones reduce friction and help prevent hot spots

How does the fit and construction support all-day use?

A snug, foot-hugging fit comes from targeted knitting and 3% Lycra spandex that holds the sock in place without constricting circulation. The micro crew height sits just above a standard hiking boot top, keeping debris out while allowing ankle mobility.

• Lycra spandex for stretch and shape retention
• Micro crew height designed to peek above hiking boots
• Precision knitting for a secure, blister-reducing fit

What makes these socks a lasting choice compared to standard socks?

Beyond the materials and construction, Darn Tough backs these socks with a lifetime guarantee: if they wear through or fail, the company replaces them. That assurance, combined with American knitting craftsmanship, makes these socks an investment in reliable everyday performance.

• Lifetime guarantee covers holes and workmanship issues
• Knit in the USA—Northfield, Vermont craftsmanship
• Durability-focused materials and construction extend service life
