The Darn Tough Style 1041 Men’s Stride Micro Crew Ultra-Lightweight is a men’s micro crew merino wool sock knit with ultra-lightweight cushion. The cushion is cut to the minimum — just enough to protect the foot without adding thermal mass inside a running shoe or low-top hiker. Micro crew height sits just above the ankle so the sock stays invisible over a running shoe collar. True Seamless toe fusion removes the toe-box seam.
The Eclipse colorway a dark moody tone that pairs with dark boots. The merino wool blend runs cooler than traditional merino builds — faster drying, less retained heat, better airflow — which is why this is the pick for warm-weather runs and summer hikes. The fine-gauge knit holds shape across repeated washes without the bagging that cotton rotation develops over time.
Darn Tough is family-owned and knits every pair at their mill in Northfield, Vermont. Lifetime guarantee is unconditional on running pairs just like boot pairs.
