## Description

Darn Tough 1997-C-3013-04 Sunset Ridge Micro Crew Lightweight with Cushion Charcoal Medium

Review: No Blisters - Good. Thank you!!
Review: Comfy but agree with sizing caution - The socks feel amazing, and they do feel high quality. I'm a UK shoe size 9 or 10 depending on brand, and the large (L) do feel snug on my feet, but nothing excessively tight, and I could wear them without issue. I would say that perhaps someone who is 11.5 (the higher end of 'L') may struggle with this size, based off how they feel on my 9-10 feet. But consideration should also be given to foot width; my feet are quite wide.

## Features

- Lightweight with Cushion — Light and strong with a thin layer of cushioning along base of foot. True Seamless technology allows for an undetectable seam fusion for an ultra-smooth, invisible feel.
- Micro Crew Height — Sitting near mid-calf, it’s the best sock height for everyday casual and dress. Peeks just above the top of a standard hiking boot.
- Composition — Knit with 52% Nylon 45% Merino Wool 3% Lycra Spandex. The fast action wicking pulls moisture away from the 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. For life.
- 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.
