  • Men's 1/4 socks average 5.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 3 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.
  • Lightweight socks breathe well, feel great, and regulate temperature during tough workouts.
  • 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 - we can't imagine it any other way.
  • 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.

Best guaranty for life socks

"Bought the 6 pair multipack back in 2025 and one sock developed a tear. Sent in the damaged sock and Darn Tough replaced it, no questions asked. I have been using these socks for all of my travels and with the multiple days use without having to wash them made them very convenient. Though they are initially expensive, they will be the last socks you will ever invest in with their lifetime guaranty. I would highly recommend this brand"

— Peter L. (5/5)

Durable but Hot

"These are about the finest socks I've ever purchased in terms of quality and durability. I was sick of buying new running socks every couple of years because they'd get holes worn through them. Darn Tough socks are built to last though! My only gripe with them would be that though they are comfortable, generally speaking, they do run hot. You will definitely feel your feet sweating if you wear these on even a mildly warm, sunny, day. Other than that, these socks are great!"

— David C. (4/5)

Size is a perfect fit

"Size is a perfect fit for my 8-8. 5 shoe. Love the light weight feel. Also helped with my stinky feet (they sweat a lot). Overall my favorite sock and I've replaced majority of all my socks with this. Downside is I wear them out, but that's what Darn Tough's lifetime warranty is for!"

— Christoppher W. (5/5)

I didn't choose the right

"I didn't choose the right socks. I don't like tight socks and thought that the lightweight structure would be softer plus the short top would make it easier to put on and take off. Didn't experience it. The sock itself seems very rough, hard, not soft ,and extremely difficult to put on/off. I have only opened one pair and I will avoid wearing either of them. I have had better luck with Wide Open socks. Sorry, just being honest."

— Robert B. (2/5)

Excellent socks

"I bought these for use in a martial arts training program. They've already improve my comfort and endurance."

— Michael M. (5/5)

Lightweight Comfort That Goes the Distance

"These have quickly become my favorite running socks. The fit is snug without being tight, preventing bunching and hot spots even on longer runs. The lightweight merino wool keeps my feet dry, breathable, and comfortable in a range of temperatures. They’re also incredibly durable—holding their shape and performance after many runs and washes. Lightweight, comfortable, and built to last, these socks are absolutely worth it."

— Emily K. (5/5)

Men's 1715 Quarter Lightweight Running

"I probably have 20 pairs of Darn Tough -- started with hunting socks and have been wearing DT for years. These are the first socks that are completely mis-sized, and I have several other workout pairs. I ordered two pairs of these in my size -- always large (size 11). These socks are HUGE. The quality is still excellent, but they must be at least a size 14 in length. They are SO mis-sized, I didn't even try to exchange for a medium and exchanged them for another style that I already have. Trust the reviews that say they're oversized."

— Stephen K. (1/5)

JUST RIGHT on the cushioning! Everything else is perfect.

"These are going to be my go-to socks for most of the time. The cushioning is perfect. Kinda like Goldi Lock, not too much, not too little, JUST RIGHT. Others might prefer the zero cushioning but I wear har orthotics, so I enjoy a bit of padding on my feet."

— David Y. (5/5)

So far very good sock

"On the sock for about two months now and so far they are great. I’m waiting to see how they last as far as getting worn especially at the Hill. I use these a lot for working out and running and have had bad experiences with socks in the past."

— Roberto M. (4/5)

Size is great for my

"Size is great for my big feet. I like the height on these"
