The Darn Tough Women’s Element 1/4 Light Cushion Athletic Sock (Style 1107) in Black is a women’s quarter-height athletic sock with a thin cushion layer along the base of the foot — the versatile construction that works for both running shoes and low-cut hikers. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam rubbing during workouts or trail days.
The knit — 54% Nylon, 43% Merino Wool, 3% Lycra Spandex — leans nylon-heavy for durability under repeated training miles, while the merino percentage handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through hard workouts. The quarter-sock shaft sits just above the ankle — high enough to keep the cuff clear of a low-cut shoe collar, low enough to stay out of sight with ankle socks. Black pairs cleanly with every training kit.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and replaces any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes under its lifetime guarantee.
