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

Love my Darn Toughs

"I really love how comfortable these socks are. I have both the cushion and non-cushioned socks. Both are comfortable However, I prefer the ones with cushion. It’s just a personal preference. I really like the colors offered and I look forward to seeing what new colors are coming out."

— Donna W. (5/5)

Best Darn Tough Run Socks for Year Round Use

"The Element style run socks are the best from Darn Tough. The toe box on the Elements is the same as the hike line of socks. The toe box on the other run sock styles (ultra lightweight) is much smaller and more compressive. However, I do wish the Element styles had the same color/look options as Darn Tough’s other run socks. The Elements fit slightly looser than the other run sock styles, but this is worth it for me so that my toes are not restricted. I am a size 7-7. 5 in shoes and always select size medium in my Darn Tough socks. I’ve tried a small in all styles and they always feel slightly short. If you’re between sizes or on the upper end of the size guide, I would recommend going to the larger size otherwise the heel bed will not sit over the calcaneus correctly. Finally, I find the lightweight yarn is the best balance between breathability and durability. The Element thickness feels most similar to the Balega hidden comfort socks, for comparison."

— Delaney N. (5/5)

Favorite summer socks!

"Ordered my 4th pair when new colors were available… Perfect height for warm weather, and love that they are cushioned!"

Element: The Best Darn Tough Run Socks

"The Element line of run socks from Darn Tough are the best. The lightweight yarn is the perfect balance of both durability and breathability (compared to the ultra lightweight yarn in other Darn Tough run socks). Additionally, the best part of the Element line of run socks is the proper width in the toe box. I find these allow for proper toe splay just as the hike sock styles do (as opposed to the ultra lightweight run socks that are too constrictive in the toes). They run slightly loose—I am a size 7-7. 5 in shoes and tried both a small and medium. The small—as all Darn Tough smalls for my 23cm length foot—was too short, but fit a bit less loose than the mediums. Thus, I decided to stick with mediums, even though there is some looseness. I anticipate this will improve with washing according to the care instructions. I do wish Darn Tough would make more Element styles (including more quarter length) and colors, as I find these are the best of the run socks line!"

— Delaney N. (5/5)

Gorgeous color

"Comfortable because of the cushion, great color. Wish there was more of a size overlap. I'm a 10, so borderline and it's not big. But a Medium would be too small."

— Elizabeth S. (5/5)

Comfortable but not the right

"Comfortable but not the right size little too big. I think they were miss marked because I always wear a medium."

— Carolyn K. (3/5)

Great socks

"These socks are comfortable. They are much bigger/longer than the other socks(2 ultra lightweight and 1 other lightweight cushion) I ordered."

— Nikki B. (4/5)

"great socks and great comfort. these are consistent with the Darn Tough quality!"

— John B. (5/5)

The element design runs large

"For some reason this particular model of sock ran very large. They seem great and I like the no show running socks but the element was too large even though I bought the same size."
