  • Women'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.
  • 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 using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.

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, no complaints, would definitely buy again

"Darn Tough socks are the best socks. We like this particular sock for hot weather when you still want a quality sock but a little thinner and cooler. They work well for physical activity or for daily casual wear. My family all says that these socks feel great and don't make their feet stink as much. Less stink and feels great--what's not to love!?"

— Michael A. (5/5)

Comfortable and Beautiful Colors

"These socks are lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for warmer weather. I especially love the color combination and design. They add a fun pop of color without sacrificing comfort or quality. They fit well, keep my feet comfortable, and I appreciate the lifetime warranty. I’m very happy with these socks and would definitely buy more pairs in other colors and styles."

— Isabella R. (5/5)

was not happy with these

"was not happy with these socks 😒 the stitching for the toe box is more squared than round and does not fit to my foot correctly. I can feel the stitching and the extra fabric when my shoes are on. I bought like 6 pair and they were all the same. I do not like the way they are made. I do have other Darn Tough socks that I like, but never getting this style again!"

— Darrien M. (1/5)

Darn Tough, Darn Perfect fit and performance.

"If you like a comfy sock that looks great while keeping all the trash out of your shoes and away from your feet; this is your next sock. Great fit, colors and lets not forget the lifetime guarantee."

— Ellene W. (5/5)

I definitely like the fit

"I definitely like the fit and feel of all my Darn Tough socks, and these are perfect for any physically exertive activities where a little extra height over my boots is required. Also can't beat the life-time guarantee!"

— Randi P. (5/5)

I usually have to remove

"I usually have to remove my sweaty socks as soon as I take my shoes off. These socks were as dry and fresh as the moment I put them on when I finished my trail run."

— Jessica A. (5/5)

Finally, a sock that fits small feet!

"Love the ultra-lightweight quarter and ankle socks. With small feet it hard to find a sock that doesn't bunch, sag, or is just too big. These don't add bulk to my shoes, don't slip through rigorous activity. Lighter than cotton and they dry quicker, too."

— Barbara G. (5/5)

THE BESTEST SOCKS EVER

"I LOVE these socks - I have 2 pairs for running and bought another 3 pairs for cycling."

— Sharlene M. (5/5)

Gym use

"Use for the gym & love the feel. No sweaty socks!!😁"

— Lisa A. (5/5)

Just what I was looking

"Just what I was looking for, they are light weight and breathable perfect for a New England summer."

— Kirsten M. (5/5)
