  • Men's micro crew socks average 8.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to rise about 6 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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

Reliable and durable

"Just got back from a 7 days rafting trip trough the Grand Canyon. I purchased these socks to wear under my sandals for daily use hiking and rafting. They worked excellent, dried quickly, and lasted the trip."

— Craig B. (5/5)

Great crew socks for umpiring baseball games!!

"Very light weight and thin. Seems the perfect ratio of cool wicking merino wool and polyester/spandex. Wore today umpiring baseball on the bases, was 95 degrees, and my feet remained relatively cool and absolutely dry. Had I had on black cotton socks, they’d a been soaked by the end of the game. Two big enthusiastic thumbs up. These are definitely going to be my new baseball umpire “base” socks. Very comfortable— not cushioned, but for the application, I did not want them to be. Cool in the summer, warm in the spring."

— Michael S. (5/5)

AMAZING

"The fit is perfect. I enjoy how they are slim and don’t feel like they will fall apart after a couple times of wearing. By far the best socks I have worn. The wool keeps my feet warm as well as cool in the summer."

— Kyle S. (5/5)

Snug, featherweight, fun pattern

"I like when we can get the more colorful, fun patterns in men's sizes. These socks are a snug fit, meaning they won't slide around in your shoes as you wear them. Ultra-lightweight is the right name for the design, no chance your feet will be too warm in these."

— JACOB G. (5/5)

Buy 'em

"Thin and cool but still moisture wicking. Great for my hot feet, comfort all day and no stink. DT socks best socks."

— Sam (5/5)

I've been rocking Darn Tough

"I've been rocking Darn Tough for a very long time. Bought a few pairs of the Micro Crew Ultralight running socks specifically for cycling and they fit the bill perfectly. I'm in south Florida and wanted something lighter but form fitting, plus wool. They fit like a glove and are not hot at all. DT should make some cycling specific socks and these are exactly where they should start."

— Fred K. (5/5)

Great socks for pickleball

"These one fit just right, build quality is great, but somehow one sock got hardened at key points i hope that doesn't affect durability. I use these socks to prevent blisters when im playing pickleball because they're moisture wicking and work really well. They fit perfect unlike the ultra light ones that are too tight. Socks height covers past ankle so is great for not rubbing against shoes. Expensive socks, but life time warranty so i am happy with my purchase."

— Andrew L. (4/5)

Pleasant Surprise

"I got these for fast hiking. Lots of hills. I was concerned the high plastic content would make my feet hot and uncomfortable. It was the opposite. They are a perfect companion to my snug hiking shoes."

— Tom P. (5/5)

Overall a good product, I

"Overall a good product, I love the calf-length version of the Ultra-Lightweight running sock, but this pair seems to be much thinner on the bottom and the sides- the place where cushion is needed the most."

— Michael E. (4/5)

Fun. Lightweight. Cool colors and

"Fun. Lightweight. Cool colors and pattern. Great for running and looking cool with friends. This is a multi-purpose sock for casual wear as well as running. I need more!"

— Joseph d. (5/5)
