Darn Tough Hiker Boot Midweight with Cushion, Taupe, Large

This is not my first pair of these socks. True to your expectations of Merino wool, they are fantastic for thermal regulation in a wide variety of conditions. And they have impeccable design, attention to detail, and the quality of construction that you expect from the Darn Tough brand. They breathe exceptionally well, despite being thick and well-cushioned. Aside from hot summer conditions, these are an excellent choice for all-around socks. They also keep my boots from getting stinky and hold up really well to regular machine washing/drying. Here in Michigan, I use them starting in fall, all the way through winter, and into spring until the weather turns warm. Despite having super warm boots, these do not cause my feet to overheat. But they also don't let my feet get cold. I also like the precise sizing available as a size medium is just right for my 8.5 foot.
