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.

Weight: Lightweight
Pair with: Trainers, golf shoes, tennis shoes

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

First Darn tough sockss

"So far these are worth the hype. I want to come back in a year or so to see how they have held up but they are comfortable and not overly hot. With there was a bit more cushion but can beef that up in my next order."

— Chad H. (5/5)

I've worn only Darn Tough

"I've worn only Darn Tough socks for years. They are best quality. The warranty is real. I have used it twice in 15 years, both times the damage to the socks was probably my fault. Made in America is a bonus. The no shows are every bit as good as heavy cold weather socks. Don't waste your money on any other brand."

— kent h. (5/5)

My go to gym shoe socks

"These are the only socks I'll wear with gym shoes. They are extremely comfortable and have the brand new socks feel every time I put them on. I prefer these socks because of the medium cushion and wish there were more color options."

— Gary L. (5/5)

These really do feel top

"These really do feel top of the line. The fit is great at first wear. Very comfy, bought for running and exercise and loving them for everyday wear. Too new to know about durability, but I've been wearing DT for a few years with no issues and I don't expect these to be any different. The quality seems as solid as everything else I've bought. The height is perfect for my running shoes and casual sneakers, just peaking a bit over the top (geez, what a millennial)."

— Reed P. (5/5)

I have enjoyed wearing my

"I have enjoyed wearing my element no-show, running socks. I usually wear a midweight or thick sock due to recurrent callus on my foot however the cushioning provided by these socks is excellent. I wear a size large for an 11 1/2 shoe if it is perfect the color combination of the eclipse with yellow and gray trim is appealing. In addition to the quality of Darn Tough socks, the color combinations, and designs make these socks, the top in their field."

— jim c. (5/5)

New user

"It’s a bit early as I have only worn them once. But that first time was very good. Quite comfortable. Biggest thing for me is they fit snugly and stayed that way. The big test for me will be after several wears and multiple washes will they keep that snug fit. If yes then a home run."

— Mario V. (5/5)

no-show with comfort

"As a lover of no-show socks. These rise, slightly higher than you might imagined, but in a good way. Ensures that you don’t have any rub from a shoe three-quarter or slightly higher."

— Michael W. (5/5)

My husband loves these socks.

"My husband loves these socks. He wears 11 and 1/2 and I ordered the xl and they were perfect fit."

— Anita Z. (5/5)

The best socks!

"Very comfortable and they wear like iron! Whether you're hiking, running, or just walking around, these socks better be on your feet! These are breathable with no thick seams that pinch when you're wearing shoes, and forget wearing holes in your socks, these will outlast your boot soles. I would 100% reccomend these to anyone if you need a serious footwear upgrade, you can't go wrong with Darn Tough socks."

— Joshua W. (5/5)

Most comforatable and durable socks I own.

"These lightweight cushioned socks are the most comfortable socks I own and will be the only brand i buy from now on. Last foever. No stink. Amazing warranty if ever needed. and a great price esp on sale."

— Paul R. (5/5)
