Which Darn Tough socks?

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Men's Hiker Hiker Boot Full Cushion, I have 6 pairs, first 3 pairs still going 7 years down the track but they have lost a little cushion, so mainly used for day walks, second 3 pairs for multiday work. Love them

Thanks guys. Found them here - https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/sea ... rn%20tough

Darn Tough doesn't ship to Australia, and it was tough finding someone who stocks them that does.

While looking for some for my wife, I realised I'd bought Cushion and not Full Cushion: https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/hik ... h-cushion/

They do feel nice. Has anyone compared the Cushion with Full Cushion?

I have full cushion and low cushion.
TBH, I much prefer the low cushion variant (hiker microcrew). I think that socks work best as a second skin and Darn Tough have that thin, felted tough but soft layer that works perfectly in wet conditions with trail runners.

I do use my full cushion for skiing and wearing casually with my slightly-too-big RM Williams..
