  • Men'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.

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

Prefect for building the miles

"Found Darn Tough socks recommended for hiking. Having done a few long distance walks, 100 miles +, found they were a game changer. So thought I would try the running socks - yes they are great highly recommended- wished I had been able to have them in the military years ago !"

— David H. (5/5)

Worn for a few long runs now

"My entire body is drenched and yet my feet are miraculously dry, like not even damp, these socks are amazing (no blisters!) - I wasn't keen to pay so much for socks but they're worth it."

— Mark O. (5/5)

Love them

"I always use these for my hikes, especially in warmer months. They never failed me, and Darn Tough warranty is unbeatable!"

— Marek T. (5/5)

Not a fan

"Had multiple pairs of darn tough socks but these are not up too par imo, can comfortably wear my other pairs for hours and feel no discomfort but these are very uncomfortable after even 45 minutes of wear. Disappointed"

— Dylan J. (1/5)

Quality very good

"The Quality is excellent, But the sizes are smaller than advertised, there very tight. If you like loose get med for small etc. Returns process not so good, you have to pay postage, so I didn't bother with the second pair. I wouldn't buy again without free returns."

— Mark W. (3/5)

Quality merino running socks with lifetime guarantee

"Quality merino running socks with good padding and lifetime guarantee. What's not to like 😁"

— Peter S. (5/5)

Good looking lightweight socks

"Very light weight good quality socks. Not as much cushioning as the ladies running socks I have. Bought as a present so can't comment on how they are in use."

— Kaz L. (5/5)
