If this Run sock was a character you were building in video game, you’d need to unlock a few levels to dial it in. The new tech foot – while not a cheat code – brings you closer to total invincibility. The cushion underfoot adds coziness, while giving rebound to your step. All the while, the high-density Merino Wool knit wraps the foot for blister-free comfort. It’s not even beast mode, it just is.

Height: No Show Tab
Weight: Lightweight
Pair with: Trainers, golf shoes, tennis shoes
Style Number: 1116
  • Men's no show tab socks average 3.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to barely show above a running sneaker.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters. Here's to focusing on your run and not your feet.
  • Runners enjoy Merino Wool's ability to dry quickly and move excess heat and moisture away from feet.
  • Lightweight socks breathe well, feel great, and regulate temperature during tough workouts.
  • Arch support alleviates foot fatigue and bunching for long-running comfort with zero slippage.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
  • Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Blister-Free Running

Beyond the moisture-wicking our running socks swear to, their fit is equally key. With a truly seamless wrap around your foot, they fit well and work well with any running shoe – trail or road. Depending on your style or desired features, we have heights ranging from no-shows and quarters to micro crews and over-the-calf run socks. All are knit with our ultra-lightweight yarn, while some styles have cushion for added protection and comfort. The best fit you’ve ever worn, accompanied with Merino’s performance, leads to incredible comfort that will leave you blister-free.

Reviews

I've worn only Darn Tough

"I've worn only Darn Tough socks for years. They are best quality. The warranty is real. I have used it twice in 15 years, both times the damage to the socks was probably my fault. Made in America is a bonus. The no shows are every bit as good as heavy cold weather socks. Don't waste your money on any other brand."

— kent h. (5/5)

I have enjoyed wearing my

"I have enjoyed wearing my element no-show, running socks. I usually wear a midweight or thick sock due to recurrent callus on my foot however the cushioning provided by these socks is excellent. I wear a size large for an 11 1/2 shoe if it is perfect the color combination of the eclipse with yellow and gray trim is appealing. In addition to the quality of Darn Tough socks, the color combinations, and designs make these socks, the top in their field."

"It’s a bit early as I have only worn them once. But that first time was very good. Quite comfortable. Biggest thing for me is they fit snugly and stayed that way. The big test for me will be after several wears and multiple washes will they keep that snug fit. If yes then a home run."

— Mario V. (5/5)

no-show with comfort

"As a lover of no-show socks. These rise, slightly higher than you might imagined, but in a good way. Ensures that you don’t have any rub from a shoe three-quarter or slightly higher."

— Michael W. (5/5)

The best socks!

"Very comfortable and they wear like iron! Whether you're hiking, running, or just walking around, these socks better be on your feet! These are breathable with no thick seams that pinch when you're wearing shoes, and forget wearing holes in your socks, these will outlast your boot soles. I would 100% reccomend these to anyone if you need a serious footwear upgrade, you can't go wrong with Darn Tough socks."

— Joshua W. (5/5)

"These lightweight cushioned socks are the most comfortable socks I own and will be the only brand i buy from now on. Last foever. No stink. Amazing warranty if ever needed. and a great price esp on sale."

— Paul R. (5/5)

Very good socks I got

"Very good socks I got three different pairs one model they ankle cuffs are painfully tight for me on the ultralights. Otherwise so amazing and no odor."

— Aiden P. (5/5)

Awesome socks

"My feet do not sweat or stink in these socks! Believe it or not lol. I think they do run on the small side wish I would have ordered xl instead of a large I’m a size 13."

— Brandon Q. (5/5)

They're good

"Probably my 2nd favorite show tab. They fit very loose initially, but do shrink a bit. #1 no show tab is: ultra light running sock. Perfect fit."

— Pat (4/5)

Long Lasting

"Thank you for your great service, I love all your variety of sox, they all fit and feel great and last a long time compared to other brands."
