If this Run sock was a character you were building in video game, you’d need to unlock a few levels to dial it in. The new tech foot – while not a cheat code – brings you closer to total invincibility. The cushion underfoot adds coziness, while giving rebound to your step. All the while, the high-density Merino Wool knit wraps the foot for blister-free comfort. It’s not even beast mode, it just is.

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

Go-to work socks in the office!

"Excellent padding, coverage, and balance for the chukkas I use for work. The socks provide a very comfortable construction that lasts me 8-9 hour days in the office. I return home dry and without odor!"

— Joseph K. (5/5)

Still evaluating

"I have a couple of pairs in size L and usually wear them in bed on cold nights, but they feel tight on my toes. I now have the same model in XL. They are slightly longer than the L size, but not much wider. I’m still evaluating them. What I would really like is socks designed for wider room only in the toes area. My podiatrist says I have “European” feet — wide toes but narrow heels."

— C. K. (4/5)

Success

"I was surprised that the size was a little bigger than normal. After wearing these socks(4 times) before washing over a week, this style stayed form fitting. After washing the first time, this style remained exactly as delivered. This sock style was exactly as advertised. Beyond that, the comfort and performance was absolutely more than any review I read🥰 It is impossible to explain the comfort and functionality!!!!!!!!!! I can not express enough, that the real results of wearing a sock, in 115 degrees Fahrenheit, for 9 hours, and there was only a minimal odor. I will never purchase another brand of socks!!!! BEST SOCKS IN THE WORLD!!!!💪"

— Michael W. (5/5)

2nd time buyer

"bought some in 2019. just now needing some more. I'm fairly active on a daily basis (running, lifting, yard work). lightweight and ultralight socks last about a year. These are much more durable, and I and don't follow the laundry instructions. size L, 12 shoe, perfect"

— Jordan S. (5/5)

Outstanding running sock!

"These lightweight running socks are perfect for warm weather. They feel significant, well constructed. Love the color and stripe!"

— Marie L. (5/5)

A Great Choice For Lightweight Merino No Show Comfort

"I bought two pairs of the Element No Show Tab LW Running Socks. I have a drawer full of Darn Tough socks, but none quite like these. I appreciate the good fit (XL) for a size 13 US. I love the light, but cushy, cushion and the amount of merino wool, as opposed to other styles. I usually wear them a few times before washing and they never see the inside of a dryer. I'm about to order another pair, possibly the micro crew version."

— Stewart S. (5/5)

These socks are great. I

"These socks are great. I am a size 9 1/2 and ordered a medium and they fit just right. Super comfortable and I actually forget I have them on. Highly recommend. I have several different pairs now and I am continuing to fill out my Darn Tough collection of socks."

— Stephen B. (5/5)

The Darn Tough - Men's

"The Darn Tough - Men's Element No Show Tab Lightweight Running Sock has been absolutely fantastic in the gym and outdoors. Regular wear has been great as well. SO much better than other socks out there."

— Holly L. (5/5)

Best socks in the world

"Absolutely love darn tough socks. They are all that I have. Tried others that claim they are the best but the comfort and quality can’t compare."

— dan s. (5/5)

Comfortably numb

"Excellent running shock stays in its place and no hot spots on the feet . Not to thick not too thin. And like all the darn tough shocks they are built to last."

— Joseph H. (5/5)
