W Hiker 1/4 Sock

Description The Darn Tough Women's Light Hiker Quarter Socks deliver dependable trail comfort without the bulk of a traditional hiking sock. Their lightweight merino wool blend helps regulate temperature and manage moisture, while soft cushioning underfoot provides protection for long walks and active days. With a secure performance fit and quarter-height coverage, these socks are a practical choice for hiking shoes, trail sneakers, and everyday outdoor adventures. Materials: Upper: Merino wool blend with nylon and LYCRA® spandex for breathability, durability, and stretch Lining: Soft, breathable merino wool blend knit Footbed: Lightweight terry-loop cushioning for underfoot comfort and protection Outsole: Durable performance knit with cushioning along the bottom of the foot Fit: Fits: True to size with a snug, performance-oriented fit designed to stay securely in place during activity Width: Standard women's fit with flexible stretch Support: Support Level: Light — supportive knit construction helps minimize slipping and bunching without structured orthopedic support Ideal For: Day hiking, trail walking, outdoor travel, warm-weather adventures, low hiking shoes, and customers who prefer lightweight cushioning without excessive bulk. Notes: The quarter height sits above the ankle, providing more coverage than a no-show sock while maintaining a lower profile than a micro crew. Where this style stands out is its balance of lightweight cushioning and breathable merino wool performance. It's especially well suited for hikers who prefer a less bulky sock or footwear with a closer fit. For taller hiking boots, a micro crew or boot-height sock may offer better protection against rubbing. Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with socks inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.
