Women's Mary Fields Over-the-Calf Midweight Work Sock


This Sock Is No Longer Available. Discontinued 2025

Mary Fields is an absolute legend. Known as "Stagecoach Mary" she was the first African American woman to work for the U.S. Postal Service — serving in the Montana Rockies, no less. We like to imagine these midweight, full cushion, over-the-calf socks would have worked great when the snow got too deep and Mary switched from stagecoach to snowshoes. Full length terry loop cushion makes them plenty warm and a midweight knit means they're up for a trek through the snow. Merino Wool moisture wicking helps, too.

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. You can learn more about how to wash merino wool socks here.

Bought these for my wife

"Bought these for my wife as she is on her feet 9 hours a day at work. She says they are very comfortable with the cushion, and they stay up all day."

Too tight for my toes.

"Too tight for my toes. This was a small adults and wwas tight for my toes. I wear between a 3. 5-5 depending on the shoe."

Vickie J. (3/5)

My feet don't hurt anymore!

"Love these! I work on my feet and any socks I wear take a pounding. These socks not only keep my feet warm (but not TOO warm), my feet don't ache at the end of the day. Absolutely wonderful! The over-the-calf part fits very snugly, though, so if that's an issue for some folks, you might want to choose a less tall sock."

Perfection

"Fabulous socks. Warm and so comfortable. Great for long transatlantic flights, no more cold feet. Darn Tough are now the only socks I want. Great in all four seasons too. What a great company!"

Margaret L. (5/5)

Perfect with irrigation boots

"Exactly what I was looking for - actually even better. Soft, perfect length so that my irrigation boots don't rub on my legs when I'm out in the field. Wonderful cushioning in those hard boots. Love these!! I'll be back for more soon."

Pari M. (5/5)

Quality Support

"I wear these when I need to stand for hours. Great support while also being easy to pull on with great breathability. I ordered one pair and after testing out for a bit including multiple washes, I ordered 3 more pairs. They are really nice."

Sara B. (5/5)

Fantastic

"I absolutely love these socks. The compression is perfect for my feet and legs. I love the warmth they provide but yet my feet haven't ever been too warm. These have been great for all kinds of weather. Thank you Darn tough for your amazing socks."

LeAnn C. (5/5)

Love my socks!

"I purchased these after a knee surgery when I needed compression to keep the swelling down. I love that they also keep me warm and cozy with great cushion while they are at it."

Wildland fire approved

Q&A

what is the difference between the heavyweight hiking and midweight work socks
Our heavyweight socks use a heavier density merino wool than our midweight socks do! Depending on the specific style there can also be differences in where the cushion is located in the socks, all around the foot or just under the foot. You can find the cushion details on all product pages!
