Easy on the eyes yet loaded with features, this Merino Wool Run sock offers top foot breathability and ultra-marathon durability that won’t quit even if you want to. Its adapted tech foot is the secret to crushing your next training block. But keep it hush. We don’t want them to hear. Also, we use yarn.

  • Men's micro crew socks average 21.5 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to rise about 15.5 cm 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 using the highest quality yarns, sourced from around the globe.
  • 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

Running sock works great for weightlifting

"These are cataloged as running socks but are great for weightlifting and other sports as well. Really comfortable, wick sweat away and don’t hold the “stink”. I have worn them for several gym sessions in a row without washing them, just airing them out between days and they are fine. They have just the right amount of cushion to fit perfectly in my weightlifting shoes without impairing my foot to floor force."

— Ron L. (5/5)

I have been missing out. . . .

"Giant pair of socks. I used them for walking the dogs in the morning and doesn't matter if the grass is wet because they don't soak up the water, and they dry quickly. While they felt big or bulky at first I haven't had any issues fitting into any of my shoes. I can't wait for hunting season to try out the other pair. Big fan of them. You have a customer for life. I will have to try my hardest not to brag about how great they are."

— Garret B. (5/5)

I’m very impressed with the

"I’m very impressed with the Darn Tough Men’s Element Micro Crew Lightweight Running Socks. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and fit really well without slipping or bunching up. They keep my feet dry and comfortable, even during longer walks or runs. The quality is excellent, and they feel like they’re built to last. I also really like the cushioning—it provides just the right amount of support without making the socks feel bulky. Overall, these are some of the best running socks I’ve tried, and I would definitely recommend them."

— Robert V. (5/5)

My sweaty feet appreciate this buy

"These were highly rated socks and so I got them to help reduce hot spots I was getting on long runs. Mission accomplished and another good rating earned! Looks good, feels good."

— Paul C. (5/5)

A sock like no other

"Exceptional sock! If my go-to mid-weight Hikers are like traversing off-road in a H1 Humvee, these Element Micro Crew Lightweight’s are like cruising up the Taconic Parkway in an Aston Martin. Enjoy the ride…"

— Peter W. (5/5)

Best socks we have ever owned

"Have been wearing Darn Tough socks for 5+ years and only now some of them wore down. Ordered replacements, warranty system is incredible. Socks warm, comfortable, durable and feet never smell!"

— Austeja W. (5/5)

So Far So Good

"Like the cushioning and heel area reinforcement which was the area that failed in my first pair. Continue to love the merino wool aspect and wear Darn Tough socks every day."

— Mark M. (5/5)

Excellent Everyday Sock

"These have a nice "everyday" weight and cushioning. I wish the crew length were a little higher, but they are great socks nonetheless."

— Michael M. (5/5)

Best socks ever

"These are the best socks I’ve ever worn. Wearing a duty boot that is waterproof and BBP resistant, my feet sweat horribly with regular socks. These solve that problem completely they wick so well. My feet also don’t smell anymore since switching to these socks. Their replacement policy for the socks is unbeatable as well. I have always purchased a good quality sock but they wear out. Darn Tough will replace them no matter what and they are top tier for that in my book."

— Colby M. (5/5)

Super comfortable even in the

"Super comfortable even in the extremely hot weather we're having right now. Top quality construction in a lighter weight version for warmer temps, shipped right to my mailbox, right on time. Why don't we have more businesses like this!"

— Steven L. (5/5)

Q&A

How does the cushioning compare to the micro crew light hiker? I own many pairs of the light hiker and love them, but I want a white sock.
Hi David, the Light Hiker and Element styles are both made with our Lightweight yarns and have a similar cushion profile and density. If you've enjoyed the Light Hiker the Element would be a great addition to your sock quiver.
