Great Sock!! Tight right on the pinky

"Great sock! My only complaint is-! My pinky toe feels like it’s being squeezed in while everything else about the sock, toes included, are absolutely stellar! (I’m diabetic and these do feel a bit too tight around the cuffs, I would recommend sizing up!!)"

Arsenio (4/5)

Nice looking

"Sad that all the pairs that I bought were much too tight on my feet. I will be returning them as soon as I hear from Darn Tough."

Love these so far. I

"Love these so far. I like that they are thinner than the normal Darn Toughs I use. I do however wish they had some cushion on the ball of the foot and heel."

Recently bought 3 different pr

"Recently bought 3 different pr Mens micro crew ultra light weight running socks. Awesome socks however the “weight” was not consistent for the 3 pair. It wasn’t a great difference but it is noticeable….still great socks. I have about 15 various pairs and will be getting more. The only socks I wear. The crazier the design the better !"

Charles F. (4/5)

Couldn't ask for anything else

"I couldn't ask for more from these, they breathe so well it's almost like they aren't there but they have more cushion than just going barefoot, good fit and plenty soft"

All of my sports sock

"All of my sports sock are thin and this ultra lightweight meets my needs. Already took them trail running here at the PNW. Can't wait for the summer and cold months to test the moisture wicking and heat. By the way, I got both the cushioned and non cushioned. The cushioned is thin enough but provides the best cloud comfort."

Joel C. (5/5)

Very lightweight and comfortable. I'm

"Very lightweight and comfortable. I'm not a runner, but they are great every day sox. Tightly fitted and warm, they will be great in cooler weather, not to say that they are not good in warm weather. Happy with my purchase."
