FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Merino wool in these socks?

Merino wool's natural properties allow it to effectively wick moisture away from the skin, regulate temperature by keeping feet warm in cool conditions and cool in warm conditions, and resist odor.

What does '1/4 sock' height mean?

The '1/4' refers to the sock's height, meaning it extends slightly above the ankle bone but below the mid-calf. This provides a balance of protection and breathability.

Are these socks suitable for all types of hiking?

Yes, they are designed for general hiking, backpacking, and other outdoor activities. The midweight cushioning and durable construction make them versatile.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Darn Tough. For women, the M size typically fits US shoe sizes 5-7, and L fits US shoe sizes 7.5-9.

Can I wash these socks in a washing machine?

Yes, they are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them on a regular cycle with cool or warm water and tumble dry on low heat.

Will these socks cause blisters?

The seamless toe construction and snug, supportive fit are designed to minimize friction and prevent blisters. Proper sizing is also key.

How many pairs of socks are included?

This product description indicates that the purchase includes one pair of 1/4 socks.

Troubleshooting

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart (e.g., M for Women's shoe sizes 5-7). A proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance.
