The Darn Tough Men’s Element No Show Tab Lightweight with Cushion Sock (Style 1116) in Black is a men’s running and lifestyle sock with a thin cushion layer of soft terry loops along the footbed — gentle rebound underfoot without bulk inside the shoe. The no-show tab height sits below the ankle bone with a small heel tab that keeps the sock from slipping into the shoe during hard miles. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly, so there’s no seam rubbing across long runs.
The knit — 55% Merino Wool, 43% Nylon, 2% Lycra Spandex — runs an even merino-nylon balance where the merino handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through hot summer miles and cool autumn training, and the nylon percentage carries the sock through season after season of shoe-friction wear. Targeted arch support gently hugs the midfoot so the sock stays in place during long runs. Black is the all-purpose training colorway that pairs with every running kit.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
