Quite possibly the best endurance guy in the game, the Element Quarter eats back-to-back long runs for breakfast (and lunch). The mesh panels on top of the foot give it an incredibly light, airy feel, but the cushion underneath is down to go the distance. Wrapping the foot, our new tech design is knit like a second skin of Merino Wool for moisture-wicking, no-slip greatness that never gets beat.

  • Men's 1/4 socks average 14 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 8 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.

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

Couldn’t Be Happier With Every Pair

"Extremely comfortable and great fit. Very durable, I use them when walking, running , exercising, and when just doing what I do. Best socks I have ever owned. I have probably about fifteen different pair. I couldn’t be happier with every pair."

— Richard G. (5/5)

Great Fit and Very Comfortable

"Good cushion for a comfortable feel when running and they stay in place on the foot. For the hottest summer days I would opt for thinner socks than these. Style wise I think they look great. Highly recommend."

— Zachery T. (5/5)

Swapped my entire drawer to these socks

"Got my first pair several years ago and slowly started converting my entire spring-summer-fall sock collection to darn tough quarter socks. They hold up exceptionally well, the breathability is amazing, and the warranty is crazy. They really will replace almost any sock for (almost) any reason."

Great for working out in the colder months

"Great lightweight socks for working out and running. Cushion is on point. I’d like an even lighter weight and thinner one for working out. My feet definitely sweat a bit more in these."

These socks just fit great.

"These socks just fit great. They feel soft and after running a couple of times they still feel exactly the same. They come up just high enough for me on the ankle. They are well cushioned and feel very nice to walk around in. They did retain some sweat on a warm day."

— Michael B. (5/5)
