The Darn Tough Merino Wool Over-the-Calf Cushion Sock is made with a terry rib knit for a custom fit around your leg every time. Ribbing above the ankle keeps the sock from sliding around in your boots.
High-density cushioning on the bottom and around the lower leg helps to take the impact
Reinforced heel and toe for added durability in high-wear areas
Ring toe construction eliminates the seam for a comfortable fit
Lycra spandex for a snug fit
Bottom Line: Cushioning for your feet and shins without bulk.
Every one who reviewed these socks gave them a 5 star rating. That says something. High quality. Good elastic cuff, won't slide down. Great moisture transport. Just the right amount of padding. Must wear them multiple days to get them to smell. Darn tough is right, they will last for years and won't be all stretched out, pilled and played like the others.

Never thought I'd get excited over a pair of socks, the fit is specitular! Have not skied yet with them on but I had to work outside in the cold 15degreeF and I didn't even think twice that my feet were not cold that has never happened before. My feet are always the first and the last thing to freeze and thaw. I will def. be buying more of these! The color is really cool also, it's more like a rusty orange in person.
I used to think socks were just socks until I tried these on. Merino wool is the best hands down! These socks make my other ones feel like sandpaper(Ok, maybe that's a bit much, but you get the idea). These are by far my favorite socks to date. So good, that I immediately went back and bought another pair. Not to mention these come with a lifetime warranty, which is a plus.
Who would have guessed that I would at some point in my life write a review about socks... These deserve a good review, they're warm, they breathe, they stay up on the calves without being to tight and they're comfy. Best ski sock I have ever tried on.

These socks are very good. I recently bought 2 pairs of diferrent brand.The other brand bridgedale is not so good. It's ok but too thin. These socks fit right, are thick where they should be. Don't roll down from my calfs. Just an excellent pair of sock - highly recommended.
Took these gals out west last week for three days of skiing. Overall, I love them. Warm, thick and soft. The extra cushion around the shin really does help protect your bones from your boots. However, I was troubled a bit by how easily the socks would get cold, and stay cold. I believe the problem is that the socks maintain a lot of moisture in them, or draw in the moisture from my boots, so as soon as you go outside you're toes are cold (not good). On my last day, I gave these guys a run in the dryer right before heading out and had a much more pleasant experience.
I wore one of these in Keystone on a -20 wind chill day. My toes only got cold once when I was standing still for a while. Great buy. Wore two of them layered the next day and toes didn't get cold one bit.
I was beginning to get resigned to the fact that I would have to throw socks away after a year or two, because they would just wear out. But these socks look like I just took them out of the package. I've had two pair for 3 years and they still look and feel like they're on their first day. I don't buy socks from any other manufacturer. They make great dress socks and running socks as well. Well worth the $$$.
My family wouldn't give me Smartwool or other socks because I would just keep on destroying them. (Record time = 1 hour) It got to the point where I now wear sandals all the time so socks aren't a problem. My grandparents got me a pair of Darn Tough ski socks a couple of years ago, and they have still yet to show any wear. That's 40+ days of ski patrolling each year in them. I'm getting myself another pair because my other problem is loosing socks....
I used to be all about Smartwool socks, but after trying Darn Tough, I'm now a convert. These socks actually stay up on my leg and are incredibly warm. Definitely higher quality than Smartwool. Awesome Socks.
These socks are super warm! They're cute colors and very cushy and comfy. I wear them snowboarding, hiking in the winter and around the house to keep warm!
I bought a pair of the their running socks in Aspen last year and have been hooked ever since. I tried the ski socks last winter and they held up like the running socks and fit great with my T1s.I was psyched to see this site carrying these guys, these socks rock!
I love these socks!! They're my new obsession for outdoor gear. I actually wear these snowshoeing. They keep my feet warm even in those single digit temp. days. Great colors too. It's nice as a woman to get to choose from more feminine colors. They've been washed so much, but they never get scratchy. Cozy every time. I guess they guarantee them for life because they can; they never wear out! These are soooooooooo worth the purchase!
These gloves kept my feet warm and dry on cold days skiing. Their cushioning is great - usually my shins hurt after cinching down my boots, but the padding on these means I don't have to loosen my boots between runs!
These socks rock. They were comfortable in my ski boots and in my hiking boots. They seemed to get a little smaller after I washed them (I didn't put them in the dryer) but it could just be my imagination. I wore them for heavy activity for about 8 hours and they never slid down or became uncomfortable.
I love these socks and just about any other sock darn tough makes. They really will last you a really long time. these are really warm, don't bunch up and are really comfy.
More great socks from Darn Tough. They work great for tele skiing and are just the right thickness. A bit tighter in all the right places. I should probably just start changing over to all Darn Tough socks. Fun colors too!
These are impressive socks. The cushion version gives just enough padding to give that extra cush feel without sacrificing performance. Merino wool has a broader comfort range, so you don't overheat in moderate temps. Elastic in the right places keep your socks in place so there is no bunching up all day through. 5 stars.
Great, super cushy, love the merino wool. Keeps my feet so warm and comfortable. Definatley a must have sock! I wear them more than just on the slopes. My feet are always cold, but not in these socks. My toes are happy in these!
Every one who reviewed these socks gave them a 5 star rating. That says something. High quality. Good elastic cuff, won't slide down. Great moisture more...
