What Sockwell says about it
“Full cushion foot and arch support deliver plush, all-day comfort and stability.”
“Merino wool and alpaca blend offers breathable warmth and natural softness.”
Cushion and weight labels are this brand’s own terms. They are not a shared thickness or temperature rating.

Check the size and the shoe together
Start with the women’s chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Sockwell size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.
The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.
Try the selected size with the shoes and insoles you plan to use. Added cushioning should not crowd the toes or distort the heel position. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.
Care for the exact pair
Turn inside out, machine wash warm and tumble dry low, with no bleach; or, as Sockwell suggests for a gentler wash, machine wash cold and air dry.
Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.
Another sock to compare
Both constructions contain animal fiber (wool or alpaca). Padding: “full cushion” on both, as each brand defines it; check each brand’s size chart.
Darn Tough Women's Hiker Boot Full Cushion Midweight uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
