The Darn Tough Women’s Run 1/4 Ultra-Lightweight Sock with Cushion (Style 1048) in Black is a women’s running sock with a thin cushion layer along the footbed and a quarter-sock shaft that sits just above the ankle — low enough to clear low-cut running shoes, high enough to keep the cuff out of the way. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump during long training miles.
Knit with 50% Merino Wool, 45% Nylon, and 5% Lycra Spandex, the sock uses an even merino-nylon balance — merino handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through early-morning runs and afternoon heat, while the nylon handles durability against repeated shoe-friction miles. The ultra-lightweight build keeps the profile low inside performance running shoes, and the 5% spandex keeps the cuff snug around the ankle. Black is the all-purpose women’s training colorway.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee — any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes gets replaced for life.
