  • Women'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.
  • 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

I love these socks! The

"I love these socks! The extra cushioning has been really helpful with all the walking we have been doing on our trip to Japan. (Like 7 miles a day). The socks stay dry and aren’t stinky either. I hand washed them after several wears and they dried within 24 hours. For my 3 week trip I brought two of these pairs of socks and one pair of everyday socks by Darn Tough. Would recommend these!"

— Natasha W. (5/5)

My new favorite socks

"Seriously comfy, protective cushioning throughout, and sweat/odor resistant!! Can’t believe I didn’t find these sooner! Absolutely recommend for anyone whose feet get rubbed raw or blistered from long walks/hikes."

— Cynna-Rose V. (5/5)

Love them!

"I love these socks so much - I have so many pairs and they are the only ones I wear (in addition to the no show tab cushions)."

— Alexandra R. (5/5)

Very comfortable

"These socks fit well and the cushioning makes longer distances quite tolerable. I run in Connecticut and ticks are everywhere. I found a tick on my ankles when wearing shorter , looser edged socks. I am happy that these socks leave no gap between the fabric and the skin and go up higher above the ankle , so along with tick repellent, this adds protection."

— Mary Z. (5/5)

More colors

"Love my darntoughs! Cute little bit of color at the top that match my shoes. They are snug at the beginning so I sized up"

— Jessica C. (5/5)

Love the rainbows!

"Love the lighter weight socks, and I love the rainbows. They make me so happy when I look at my feet. I've worn DT socks for so long now that when I wear other socks I feel like someone has done me a personal harm. These socks are as wonderful as always. My only gripe is that they twisted a bit while wearing them the first time, but that seems to have resolved after the first wash"

— Molly O. (5/5)

Great socks!

"They did 20,000 + steps a day my most recent vacation with no blisters in sight :) I have been using Darn Tough's hiking socks for many years and this is my first foray into every day socks. I've converted many a family member and will probably start telling them to wear these as well, haha!"

— Allissa B. (5/5)

Happy

"Very happy with the fit and feel of these socks. Good for all but very cold weather."

— Carol H. (5/5)

Ultra lightweight, ultra comfortable

"This is the first ultra lightweight sock I've purchased, and I really wasn't sure if I'd like it. I loved the midweight and lightweight socks I'd bought, but for speed walking I needed a little more room for one of my toenails. Although I wasn't sure if this might be too thin to be as comfortable for my feet, I found it to be exactly what I needed. Cushioning is still comfortable, and all my toes are happy."

— Nancy S. (5/5)

Best running socks out there

"So comfortable and perfect for year round running. The cushion is excellent."

— Amy M. (5/5)

Q&A

This sock is identified as a running sock which, when I go to the "Learn More" about the running sock, lists cushioning as one of its qualities. And this sock is listed as a cushioned sock, but in the description it says "zero-cushion." ?? Also, if I order 6/9, what are the odds I'd get it (in Maryland) 6/13? . I like to wait until past the last minute to deal with things....

All of my socks are Light Hiker Quarter Light Weight Hiking Socks. I have so many really cool colors. They have been worn for so long that it is time for new ones but I keep checking and don’t see many options! Will more colors be available in the future?
Hey Emma! We added some new colorways this season, and we'll be adding more new styles again in June for the Fall/Winter season. Please don't hesitate to reach out by email/chat/phone if there's anything specific you are having a hard time finding, we're always happy to help!
