The Darn Tough Men’s Stride Micro Crew Ultra-Lightweight Running Sock (Style 1036) in Grey/Charcoal is a men’s running sock with zero cushion and an ultra-thin knit that sits flush inside running shoes for a fast, light feel on race day. The micro crew height sits just above the ankle, shorter than a traditional crew, tall enough to clear a low-cut running shoe without rubbing against the collar. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam rubbing across long tempo sessions.
The knit — 52% Nylon, 42% Merino Wool, 6% Lycra Spandex — leans nylon for durability against repeated shoe-friction wear, while the merino percentage handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through hot afternoon runs. The 6% Lycra Spandex keeps the cuff tight around the ankle so the sock doesn’t slip through long training blocks. Grey/Charcoal is a two-tone men’s running colorway that pairs with every training kit.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
