## Description

Darn Tough 1403-C-7023-07 Hiker Boot Midweight with Cushion Lime XX-Large

Review: Fantastic Socks, But Pricey - The Darn Tough Hiker Socks are an amazing product—I've never had a blister, and they're my go-to socks for both hiking and daily wear. They provide great comfort, support, warmth and durability. The only downside is that they are a bit expensive, but considering the quality and performance, they're definitely worth the investment!
Review: Amazing Quality - Extremely comfortable and wear incredibly well. The marketing says you can do multi day wear... 2 days is my limit but they breathe so well my feet stay warm but don't sweat so the socks don't smell. Used them to go on long hikes that would've previously had my feet in bits and they kept my feet protected. Love them.

## Features

- Midweight with Cushion - A warm and extremely comfortable choice when conditions demand it, this fine gauge knitted sock provides mid-level cushion density under your foot. True Seamless technology allows for an undetectable seam fusion for an Ultra-smooth, invisible feel.
- Boot Sock Height - Sits mid-calf for added protection and warmth. A sturdy companion.
- Composition - Knit with 64% Merino Wool, 33% Nylon, 3% Lycra Spandex. The fast action wicking pulls moisture away from skin, so no more sweaty, stinky socks. The soft, breathable merino wool has fast drying, all weather performance that keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
- Guaranteed for Life - If these socks wear, tear, or develop holes, Darn Tough will replace them. No strings. No conditions.
- Made in the USA - Every pair of socks is knit in Northfield, Vermont - the perfect testing ground for the finest premium all weather performance socks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is Merino Wool itchy or soft?**
A: Merino Wool is incredibly soft, its fibres are 1/3 the diameter of a human hair, making them more flexible and supple. When pressed against your skin, they’ll bend to provide a delightfully soft touch rather than being itchy and irritating.

**Q: Is Merino Wool suitable for all seasons?**
A: Merino Wool is versatile across seasons, keeping feet dry, breathable and comfortable in summer's heat and offering insulation during colder seasons.

**Q: What's the lifespan of Merino Wool?**
A: Darn Tough Socks are produced with a blend of Merino Wool, Nylon and Lycra Spandex to create a resilient performance fabric that lasts forever. We stand behind this blend with a life time pledge.

**Q: Is Merino Wool moisture wicking?**
A: Merino Wool is moisture wicking and naturally pulls perspiration away from your skin. It maintains its ability to insulate and keep your feet warm even after it gets wet, making it ideal for managing sweat and regulating body temperature.

**Q: Is Merino Wool Thermoregulating?**
A: Yes, Merino Wool is naturally thermoregulating, helping to keep your feet comfortable in varying temperatures. It provides warmth in the cold and remains breathable and cool in the heat
