Quite possibly the best endurance guy in the game, the Element Quarter eats back-to-back long runs for breakfast (and lunch). The mesh panels on top of the foot give it an incredibly light, airy feel, but the cushion underneath is down to go the distance. Wrapping the foot, our new tech design is knit like a second skin of Merino Wool for moisture-wicking, no-slip greatness that never gets beat.

Height: Quarter
Weight: Lightweight

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.
Lightweight socks breathe well, feel great, and regulate temperature during tough workouts.
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.

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.
