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

Pairs With: Batons, minimalist running shoes, racing flats

Style Number: 1036

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 gravel riding sock

"Use these for long gravel rides and they are fantastic. Great ventilation, skin protection, and durability. I’ve got a drawer full of them now. Thanks Darn Tough!"

— David B. (5/5)

Pretty Good

"My normal brand stopped making ultralight wool socks. I bought this pair and a cushioned pair to see if Darn Tough would be a suitable replacement. These fit really well and are nice and thin. The toe seam is a little stiff but should get better with a few washes. These don't seem to keep my feet as dry as my old socks. Again, maybe a few washes will help but I think it's a lower percentage of merino. I like these better than the cushioned pair but I'm not convinced they are going to be the replacement I'm looking for. Time will tell. Good socks, I'm picky."

These socks were a replacement

"These socks were a replacement for a pair that had holes in the toes after only 6 days on the Santa Fe to Taos trail. Darn Tough were super quick to get them replaced and the new pair are about to go on adventures in Idaho. Thank you for the quick replacement."
