The Darn Tough Women’s 1/4 Ultra-Lightweight Run Sock (Style 1044) in Aqua is a women’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 quarter-height shaft sits just above the ankle — tall enough to clear the collar of a low-cut running shoe, short enough to stay out of the way on training miles. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam rubbing across long tempo sessions.
The technical knit blends nylon, merino wool, and Lycra spandex so the nylon handles durability against repeated shoe-friction wear, the merino percentage takes care of moisture wicking and temperature regulation through hot afternoon runs, and the Lycra spandex keeps the cuff tight around the ankle so the sock doesn’t slip down through long training blocks. Aqua is a bright cool-toned women’s running colorway that pops against neutral shoes.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
