Height: Quarter

Weight: Ultra-Lightweight

Pairs With: Running shoes, trail runners, athletic sneakers

  • Women's 1/4 socks average 14 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 8 cm above a running sneaker.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters. Here's to focusing on your run and not your feet.
  • Runners enjoy Merino Wool's ability to dry quickly and move excess heat and moisture away from feet.
  • Our lowest profile, ultra-lightweight yarns create zero bulk, zero itch socks that feel like a second skin.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
  • Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Style Number: 1048

Cushion

These cushioned 1/4 socks feature soft terry loops under the foot for lasting rebound while running.

Blister-Free Running

Beyond the moisture-wicking our running socks swear to, their fit is equally key. With a truly seamless wrap around your foot, they fit well and work well with any running shoe – trail or road. Depending on your style or desired features, we have heights ranging from no-shows and quarters to micro crews and over-the-calf run socks. All are knit with our ultra-lightweight yarn, while some styles have cushion for added protection and comfort. The best fit you’ve ever worn, accompanied with Merino’s performance, leads to incredible comfort that will leave you blister-free.

Reviews

Perfection!

"I haven’t found a pair of Darn Tough socks I didn’t like! These are great for running, walking, exercising and just dilly dallying. I tried a pair of the gray ones and liked them so much I bought another pair in black. They fit like a glove and the height is perfect, as I despise no-show socks. I wear them several days in a row and they don’t stink. My only disappointment is that the quarter cushioned are not offered in a pack."

— Kara A. (5/5)

Great socks, but a bit tight.

"Great socks, I really like them! The only thing that I don’t like is how tight they are in the toebox, but most socks feel as tight there. Colors are as in the picture, cushion I didn’t really notice yet. Had them for around a week now, so can’t say anything about how they last. Feet feel a bit moist after a day in them, but they still don’t smell somehow!"

— Varvara R. (4/5)

Best Socks

"Best socks on the market, great quality, great comfort and darn best warranty!!!"

— Jamie B. (5/5)

i thought i would love

"i thought i would love these, as i have loved the other socks from Darn Tough. So i bought three pairs without trying them. they felt really nice when i first put them on, but in the end i don't love them. they turn on my foot as i walk, so that the part that should be the heel ends up being on top. it's only one foot. the problem may be that my feet are different sizes, so the medium is too big for my right foot but OK for the left. it's the right foot that turns. (i wish they sold socks individually so that i could get the exact right size for each foot). nevertheless, their other socks don't do this, even though they also are not perfectly sized for my feet. perhaps it's because of the thin mesh on top?"

Perfect running and walking socks.

"The ultralight run quarter works for me as a three season sock. I like the black ones because I'm too lazy to mix and match. They have saved me from blisters walking the Shorewalkers 32 Mile Great Saunter around the rim of Manhattan Island in NYC."

— Christine S. (5/5)

These socks are great!

"I bought these to replace another brand of socks because those made the soles of my feet burn while walking (sliding in sock + too much friction). These "Women's Run Quarter Cushioned Ultra-Lightweight Running Socks" are great! I am happy I chose these. They are comfortable during walks, they don't slip, they fit snug, and have great cushioning. I highly recommend these socks."

— Daisy (5/5)

These cushioned quarter height ultra-light

"These cushioned quarter height ultra-light socks will come in handy during our upcoming trip to Egypt as well as our daily walks and exercise. The quality of Darn Tough socks are well known and the lifetime guarantee is appreciated. The merino wool blend material should help with heat regulation and is naturally antibacterial."

— Tim W. (5/5)

Great cushioning. No blisters on

"Great cushioning. No blisters on a long hot run. Plus rainbow is cute."

— Catherine O. (5/5)

Cute socks

"I love these for biking. They’re comfy and kind of adorable."

— Misty W. (5/5)

BEST SOCKS EVER!!!!!

"I LOVE my socks!!!! My feet feel AMAZING during my runs and I have NEVER had blisters. We cannot get these in South Africa, so I have bought these to gift to my friend."

— Sharlene M. (5/5)

Q&A

This sock is identified as a running sock which, when I go to the "Learn More" about the running sock, lists cushioning as one of its qualities. And this sock is listed as a cushioned sock, but in the description it says "zero-cushion." ?? Also, if I order 6/9, what are the odds I'd get it (in Maryland) 6/13? . I like to wait until past the last minute to deal with things....

All of my socks are Light Hiker Quarter Light Weight Hiking Socks. I have so many really cool colors. They have been worn for so long that it is time for new ones but I keep checking and don’t see many options! Will more colors be available in the future?
