  • Men's micro crew socks average 8.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to rise about 6 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.
  • Our lowest profile, ultra-lightweight yarns create zero bulk, zero itch socks that feel like a second skin.
  • 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.

Reviews

Great socks for pickleball

"These one fit just right, build quality is great, but somehow one sock got hardened at key points i hope that doesn't affect durability. I use these socks to prevent blisters when im playing pickleball because they're moisture wicking and work really well. They fit perfect unlike the ultra light ones that are too tight. Socks height covers past ankle so is great for not rubbing against shoes. Expensive socks, but life time warranty so i am happy with my purchase."

— Andrew L. (4/5)

Pleasant Surprise

"I got these for fast hiking. Lots of hills. I was concerned the high plastic content would make my feet hot and uncomfortable. It was the opposite. They are a perfect companion to my snug hiking shoes."

— Tom P. (5/5)

Overall a good product, I

"Overall a good product, I love the calf-length version of the Ultra-Lightweight running sock, but this pair seems to be much thinner on the bottom and the sides- the place where cushion is needed the most."

— Michael E. (4/5)

Best Socks Ever

"These are my go-to socks for pretty much everything from running and hiking to everyday life. They're incredibly breathable and lightweight, keep their shape well, and air dry very quickly. I've rarely if ever gotten blisters wearing them, even after training for a marathon. I rave about Darn Tough to everyone I know and it's mainly because of these socks!"

— Henry K. (5/5)

There is nothing better than

"There is nothing better than Darn Tough socks. I use these for both hiking and running. It does not matter if it is hot or cold outside, the wool blend is second to none. These keep your feet comfortable and dry, regardless of if you are hiking/running a short distance or running a marathon. Highly recommend."

— Patrick M. (5/5)

Typical Darn Tough amazing quality!

"Great quality socks, as is always the case with Darn Tough. I purchased these to use for dress occasions; personally I prefer OTC height for hiking and everyday wear. These are very comfortable, and I expect to get years out of them!"

— John M. (5/5)

Surprised at how well they work

"I was a little worried about spending so much on a pair of socks but it’s crazy how well they work. Now my wife has a pair soon to get more and my son is not getting some. I swear by them. I won’t wear another pair of socks again."

— Shane K. (5/5)

I used to only use

"I used to only use cushion socks, but since I started wearing these socks without cushion, I am absolutely hooked. I cannot recommend these socks enough for running. They Wick sweat so good And don’t leave any blisters."

— Blaine B. (5/5)

Daily wear for running and multipurpose

"These are my new favorite “daily wear” socks for non-winter months - both for running and just going about my day. Pros: -Lightweight without feeling flimsy. With the quality feel and the Darn Tough replacement guarantee, I’m confident that they’ll hold up to the regular wear I plan. -Neutral design. Count me as someone who doesn’t like the busy designs on most Darn Tough socks. These are among the few understated socks on the website. -Lightly compressive so they don’t sag. Con: -The toe end is a bit small immediately when pulling on, but can be adjusted to fit like a glove. Literally a momentary inconvenience for great socks."

— Zane U. (5/5)

Super lightweight, but doesn't sacrifice

"Super lightweight, but doesn't sacrifice use or comfort."
