The Darn Tough Style 1715 Quarter Lightweight Running Sock is a fine-gauge merino wool sock knit at a quarter height — just above the ankle — with light cushion under the foot. The lighter cushion placement is tuned for running shoes: impact absorption in the heel and ball of the foot without filling up the toe box or choking off airflow around the instep. True Seamless toe fusion removes the toe seam.
Quarter height keeps the sock visible above a running shoe collar without riding up the calf, and the Charcoal colorway a low-profile gray that hides trail dust and boot-leather oxidation over time. The 53% nylon / 44% merino wool / 3% Lycra blend runs cooler than traditional merino builds — faster drying, less retained heat, and better airflow for road miles, treadmill runs, and trail running.
Darn Tough is a family-owned Vermont mill and knits every pair in Northfield. Lifetime guarantee covers running pairs just like the boot pairs.
