We don’t use strings, but if we did the Element Micro Crew is first-string varsity all-pro. Easy on the eyes yet loaded with features, this Merino Wool Run sock offers top foot breathability and ultra-marathon durability that won’t quit even if you want to. Its adapted tech foot is the secret to crushing your next training block. But keep it hush. We don’t want them to hear. Also, we use yarn.

  • 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.
  • Lightweight socks breathe well, feel great, and regulate temperature during tough workouts.
  • Arch support alleviates foot fatigue and bunching for long-running comfort with zero slippage.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.

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

I have been missing out. . . .

"Giant pair of socks. I used them for walking the dogs in the morning and doesn't matter if the grass is wet because they don't soak up the water, and they dry quickly. While they felt big or bulky at first I haven't had any issues fitting into any of my shoes. I can't wait for hunting season to try out the other pair. Big fan of them. You have a customer for life. I will have to try my hardest not to brag about how great they are."

— Garret B. (5/5)

Best socks ever

"These are the best socks I’ve ever worn. Wearing a duty boot that is waterproof and BBP resistant, my feet sweat horribly with regular socks. These solve that problem completely they wick so well. My feet also don’t smell anymore since switching to these socks. Their replacement policy for the socks is unbeatable as well. I have always purchased a good quality sock but they wear out. Darn Tough will replace them no matter what and they are top tier for that in my book."

— Colby M. (5/5)

Super comfortable even in the

"Super comfortable even in the extremely hot weather we're having right now. Top quality construction in a lighter weight version for warmer temps, shipped right to my mailbox, right on time. Why don't we have more businesses like this!"

— Steven L. (5/5)

I wear these socks walking

"I wear these socks walking in the warmer part of the year. Three miles 3-4 times a week. (I'm 80. ) As I have neuropathy in my feet a significant amount of cushioning is essential. These socks have some, but I would prefer more. I would also prefer more merino wool, say 60%. I ordered your largest sock, but they're still a bit short for my size 12 1/2 narrow feet. I'd also prefer this sock in a full crew design, with a bit less tightness in the area from the ankle to the top of the crew height. Lastly, plain white and other solid colors please. No stripes for this old Marine infantryman. (: I'm glad I purchased these socks, but I'll likely look to another style based on the above comments. Thanks for asking for my opinion. And, keep up the great work."

— Herbert J. (4/5)

Dare I say it, but these socks are sexy!

"Finally, a nice pair of black socks, that not only look sharp, but are comfortable, warm, and provide just the right level of cushion. I am well on my way to replacing all my socks with Darn Tough socks."

— Tony B. (5/5)

Great socks beats cotton any

"Great socks beats cotton any day With my job being a carpenter for 18 years always had cotton on my feet the stink was unbearable these wool socks they do have a smell after 10 hour work day bit nothing close to toxic stink like cotton Would recommend to anyone"

— Przemyslaw S. (5/5)

Love these. Great light hikers

"Love these. Great light hikers and they look good. I only buy Darn Tough socks anymore (dress socks too. ). Made in USA and a lifetime warranty (that I’ve never had to use. )"

— Robert O. (5/5)

Great socks

"Really enjoying these socks. They fit great and I like the length/height. They’re thick and sturdy, but still breathable. Big fan of the colorway too."

— Robert M. (5/5)

I am proud to say

"I am proud to say I only own darn tough socks. You can rummage through my sock drawer and I promise you that's all you will find. These are an awesome color and give your feet the same amazing hug that I truly look forward to every time I'm putting on a brand new pair of darn toughs."

— Alex S. (5/5)

Best Socks.

"Awesome socks. My feet would always smell really bad even a couple of hours into my shift. But after switching to merino wool, my feet don’t smell at home even if I go a night without showering so 2 full shifts, they smell like nothing. Biggest life change getting these socks."

— Owen W. (5/5)

Q&A

How does the cushioning compare to the micro crew light hiker? I own many pairs of the light hiker and love them, but I want a white sock.
Hi David, the Light Hiker and Element styles are both made with our Lightweight yarns and have a similar cushion profile and density. If you've enjoyed the Light Hiker the Element would be a great addition to your sock quiver.
