The Darn Tough Men’s Run 1/4 Ultra-Lightweight Cushion Running Sock (Style 1040) in White is a men’s running sock with a thin cushion layer along the footbed for gentle rebound underfoot without bulk inside the shoe. The quarter-height shaft sits just above the ankle — high enough to clear the collar of a low-cut running shoe or hiker, low enough to stay out of the way during fast miles. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes during long training runs.
The knit — 50% Merino Wool, 46% Nylon, 4% Lycra Spandex — uses an even merino-nylon balance where the merino handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through morning runs and hot afternoons, with the nylon carrying the sock through repeated training miles. The 4% spandex keeps the cuff tight around the ankle so the sock doesn’t slip. White is the clean classic men’s training colorway.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
