Crew, 26.7 cm (10.5 in) on average. Cushion: full foot.

When your boots have room for full cushioning

Darn Tough Women's Hiker Boot Full Cushion Midweight

A boot hiking sock with what Darn Tough calls full cushion, a midweight knit and a 69% merino wool blend.

Keep in mind: Full cushioning adds fabric around the foot. If your boots already feel snug, a lighter sock may fit better.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the women’s chart for this exact model. Use the brand size lookup to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The published average heel-to-cuff height is 26.7 cm (10.5 inches). Compare that measurement with the collar of the footwear you plan to wear. 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

Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean.

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 fibre (wool or alpaca). Padding: “full cushion” on both, as each brand defines it; check each brand’s size chart.

Smartwool Women's Hike Saturnsphere Crew 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.
