20 years ago, we took three generations of sock-making expertise and started Darn Tough by knitting a Run sock and handing it out for free at the Vermont City Marathon. And now... it's back. Dubbed internally as our 'OG Run sock', this Lightweight Quarter preserves its original look while adding new tech to ensure it keeps pace on Race Day.

Height: Quarter
Weight: Ultra-Lightweight
Style Number: 1201

Men'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.
Flex windows mean less material where your foot needs to move the most so nothing interferes with your stride.
We reinforced the Achilles zone on these socks to offer targeted padding and long-running comfort.
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.
The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Cushion

These cushioned 1/4 socks feature soft terry loops under the foot for lasting rebound while running. Run quarter cushion map showing cushion underfoot and around the achilles

Feet wearing merino wool running socks, the best socks to prevent blisters, with a speed icon

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.
