Still made in Vermont with a lifetime guarantee, unlike coarse wool, Darn Tough’s Merino Wool is finer and naturally wicks moisture away from your body while keeping your feet cool and dry. Darn Tough Running socks are designed to keep feet cool while you push the pace in the Arizona heat. They also actively prevent blisters and thwart hot spots before they form. Footcare is one of the most important things you’ll deal with at Cocodona. Don’t leave it to chance. Make sure your socks are Darn Tough.
