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

Great socks, as usual

"The socks are exactly what I wanted. Good for warmer weather. Like all Darn Tough socks I've had, they are the best fitting and longest lasting by far. I am reluctant to take advantage of the Lifetime warranty because socks should wear out. However, in the rare occasions where it seemed that failure was possibly a flaw in the material that caused premature problems, Darn tough has been great at issuing replacements."

— GEORGE R. (5/5)

Great socks, but a bit tight

"Great socks, I really like them! The only thing that I don’t like is how tight they are in the toebox, but most socks feel as tight there. Colors are as in the picture, cushion I didn’t really notice yet. Had them for around a week now, so can’t say anything about how they last. Feet feel a bit moist after a day in them, but they still don’t smell somehow!"

— Varvara R. (4/5)

The best socks I know

"I have been wearing these for years - used to be called endurance socks. To me they are the best compromise between thinness/durability and breathability. Literally my favorite socks."

— Alex F. (5/5)

I tried my socks out

"I tried my socks out during a 3-day trip to Legoland NY with our 7 year old. It was hot and humid during our long walks through the sun beaten park. I was skeptical that my socks would keep my feet dry. After 3 grueling days my socks and feet didn't feel sweaty or hot."

— Ronald R. (5/5)

Great summer socks.

"I wanted to try these to add to my collection of Darn Toughs because I needed more for summer. I think they are a great addition because they are light weight and work well with sandals which I wear almost exclusively in warm weather. The only downside is side is they are short enough that I can’t tuck my pants into them if I’m walking in fields or woods. Darn those ticks! But I will wear them with shorts and skirts in warmest weather and wherever I don’t have to worry about bugs."

— Sheila G. (5/5)

Extremely comfortable socks. I wear

"Extremely comfortable socks. I wear wool socks year round. I am excited about the Darn Tough warranty. Other brands that I have tried might last one year before holes develop in toe or heal."

— Ryan M. (5/5)

Similar to a Men’s Dress Sock

"The material is more like a men’s dress sock. I was not a fan because I wanted the buttery softness of their lightweight hiking or running socks. This could be a good choice someone wanting to replace dress socks."

— Becky G. (3/5)

Great product. Comfortable and feet

"Great product. Comfortable and feet don’t get overheated"

— Peter S. (5/5)

Great Sox For Summer

"Super lightweight socks. Perfect for pairing with running or hiking shoes. Highly recommended!!"

— Dave D. (5/5)

I believe your size for

"I believe your size for 10- 12 size shoe is a little off I love the socks but they are very snug. I don't dry these in the dryer Either. The next time I order, the 1/4 height I will go to extra large."

— carl s. (4/5)
