Men's 1/4 socks average 5.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 3 in. 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.
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.
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 using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.
Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Feet wearing merino wool running socks, the best socks to prevent blisters, with a speed icon

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.
