The Darn Tough Style 1118 Men’s Element Micro Crew Lightweight Running Sock is a fine-gauge merino wool sock knit at micro crew height with light cushion under the foot. The light cushion placement targets impact zones in running shoes — heel and ball of the foot — without filling up the toe box or choking off airflow. True Seamless toe construction removes the toe seam.
Micro crew height sits just above the ankle to keep grit out of the shoe, and the White colorway the clean classic — dress shoes, athletic shoes, warm-weather rotation. The 54% nylon / 43% merino wool / 3% Lycra blend runs cooler than traditional merino — faster drying, better airflow, and less retained heat for road miles and treadmill runs.
Darn Tough knits every pair at their family mill in Northfield, Vermont. Lifetime guarantee covers running pairs just like the boot pairs.
