Darn Tough Men's Hiker Boot Midweight with Full Cushion

From the PCT to the AT. Must-Pack Durability Meets Undeniable Comfort.

The Darn Tough Men's Hiker Boot Midweight with Full Cushion (Style 1405) in Eclipse has earned its reputation on some of the most demanding trails in the country. From the Pacific Crest Trail to the Appalachian Trail, this is the sock that serious hikers and backpackers keep coming back to — because when you're deep in the backcountry with a heavy pack on your back, your sock is not something you want to think about.

Full Cushion Terry Loops — Cuff to Toe

The defining feature of this sock is its full cushion terry loop construction from cuff to toe. Terry loops create a dense, padded layer between your foot and the boot that absorbs impact, reduces friction, and provides a level of all-day comfort that flat-knit socks simply can't match. On long days with heavy loads, that cushioning is the difference between arriving at camp feeling strong and arriving in pain.

Merino Wool Performance

Knit from fine Merino wool, this sock naturally regulates temperature, wicks moisture away from the skin, and resists odor through multi-day wear — critical qualities for backpacking trips where laundry isn't an option. Merino performs in warm conditions without overheating and insulates in the cold without losing its moisture-management properties. It's the reason Darn Tough built their reputation on it.

Boot Height for Full Coverage

The boot height provides coverage up the calf, protecting against boot collar abrasion and keeping debris out on rugged terrain. Paired with hiking boots or backpacking boots, it creates a seamless interface between foot and footwear that reduces hot spots and blistering on long-distance efforts.

Midweight Construction for Heavy Loads

The midweight build is purpose-matched to hiking boots and heavy backpacks — substantial enough to handle the compressive forces of a loaded pack over miles of trail, while remaining breathable enough to avoid overheating. This is not a casual day-hike sock; it's built for the long haul.
