Darn Tough may be venerated for its hiking and outdoor socks, which are prized for their unparalleled levels of comfort, durability and performance, but the company is gaining a growing reputation for its lifestyle socks, which are ideal for every kind of use imaginable in your day-to-day life, in between days-long through hikes and other outdoor escapades. This reputation is burgeoning thanks to products such as the 'Merino Wool Animal Haus' lifestyle socks, which combine stellar comfort with quirky and fun animal art.
Ranging from a cow on a stand-up paddleboard to a skunk getting up close and personal with a cannabis leaf and a dog riding a bicycle with a pint of beer in hand, the animal art on these lifestyle socks will be a huge hit at your next patio session, picnic or visit to the dog park.
As far as performance goes, these socks do away with the considerable cushioning that's present on Darn Tough's hiking range, giving them a regular feel with the advantage of a performance fit that ensures no annoying bunching up and slippage. With their lighter profile, these socks are absolutely perfect for summer use, with the moisture-wicking gifts of merino wool well and truly coming to the fore to ward off the undesirable effects of humidity on your feet. Each and every toe seam on these lifestyle socks is sealed using Darn Tough's proprietary True Seamless Toe technology, making them buttery soft to the touch and durable to boot.
Available for $22, the 'Merino Wool Animal Haus' lifestyle socks bring the most pertinent traits of Darn Tough's hiking socks in the form factor of a lightweight summer sock that leaves every other daily-use sock in the mud, whilst leaving a trail of smiles and giggles behind courtesy the adorable and quirky animal art.
