Some say it’s hard to change their stripes. We went further and totally redesigned our Stride micro crew running sock for the lightest and smoothest fit — topped it off with performance arch support to reduce fatigue, flex windows for zero bunching and enhanced durability where our athletes need it most. Nah, wasn’t that hard.

Height: Micro Crew
Weight: Ultra-Lightweight
Pair with: Batons, minimalist running shoes, racing flats
Style Number: 1036

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.

Feet wearing merino wool running socks, the best socks to prevent blisters, with a speed icon

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

Hands Down, The Best Running Socks

"In my opinion, the Darn Tough Men's Stride Micro Crew Ultra-Lightweight Running Socks are the best fitting, most comfortable, and durable running socks. In addition, they are the a decent height/length and they look great. Be sure to wash inside-out and only after wearing a few times (minimum)."

— Rob S. (5/5)

Muy versátiles

"Me han encantado, a priori pareciera que es muy ligera y no daría la talla, pero la verdad es que son muy cómodas, y versátiles, más he usado para correr, para ir al Gym, para usarlas con un traje en una boda, en fin me encanta. Además las he usado por 15 días consecutivo y no huelen nada."

— Gina P. (5/5)

Sooooo comfortable

"Second pair of these for me, they are great, very comfortable with casual shoes, not just athletic shoes. Color scheme is nice!"

— Steve B. (5/5)

Men’s Stride Micro Crew

"First time buying Darn Tough socks. I’m impressed. I’ve bought other “running” socks and they don’t compare to these. The fit/ feel is great, after wearing them on a couple of long runs Im sold! I’ll just be getting DT socks going forward."

— david J. (5/5)

Sumner socks rule.

"They are very stylish yet in all ways practical. They hit my calf at the right height for warm weather and the quality is what it always is resilient and comfortable. They look cool and seem indestructible."

— Todd S. (5/5)

More colors and scenes in

"More colors and scenes in light weight please!"

— Michelle W. (5/5)

Darn Tough - you got that right

"Super lightweight and very comfortable. Love the merino wool for temperature regulation and odor resistance. I probably get about 3-4 wears out of these before I wash them. Love Darn Tough socks and their commitment to high quality, USA made products. Yes, I will be ordering more so wanted to get me some points by doing this review!"

— Matt J. (5/5)

The new GOAT

"Perfect for cycling! Lightweight, comfortable, and look and feel great"

— Joe K. (5/5)

These have the perfect blend

"These have the perfect blend of wool and stretch. I am wearing them like everyday socks as well. Will be getting more!"

— Daniel J. (5/5)

The best socks around!

"I don't think I've worn anything besides darn toughs in 7 years. Just had to exchange my first pair this year!"
