The Darn Tough Men’s Element Micro Crew Lightweight Running Sock (Style 1118) in Black is a men’s running sock with a thin layer of cushion along the base of the foot — gentle rebound underfoot without bulk inside the shoe. 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 — 55% Merino Wool, 42% Nylon, 3% Lycra Spandex — runs merino-heavy for moisture wicking and temperature regulation across morning runs and hot afternoon miles, while the nylon percentage carries the sock through repeated shoe-friction wear. The 3% Lycra Spandex keeps the cuff tight around the ankle so the sock doesn’t slip down through long training blocks. Black is the versatile all-purpose men’s running colorway that pairs with every kit.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
