  • 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.

Style Number: 1040

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

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)

Good Sock for 100 milers

"I wore these socks on 100 mile ultra run. Thespcks were very comfortable and just the right thickness for an English summer. I did get blisters, but I don't think the socks can be blamed for that. I will use them again for other 50 to 100 milers."

— MR R. (4/5)

Great present!

"Great service and will be purchasing more from Dar tough"
