Pound the ground and put in the miles. It’s never easy, but at least it’s comfortable with the ultra-lightweight Stride running sock. Extra durability was knit into the heel, footbed and at the first and fifth metatarsal (outside toes). This micro crew sock features smooth, anti-chafe Merino Wool, with cooling mesh and a low-profile, next-to-skin fit that will match any hundo you throw its way.

Height: Micro Crew
Weight: Ultra-Lightweight
Pair with: Trail runners, running shoes, athletic sneakers
Style Number: 1045
  • Women's micro crew socks average 7.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to rise about 6 in. 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.
  • Our lowest profile, ultra-lightweight yarns create zero bulk, zero itch socks that feel like a second skin.
  • 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

Great running socks

"Another great pair of darn tough socks! I like these thinner (no padding) ones for warmer running. Sleeve isn’t too tight, perfect height, quality stitching. I have a thin, narrow foot and these are perfectly snug. If you have thicker/wider feet, they might be a little constricting."

— Rachel G. (5/5)

Really love the height and

"Really love the height and thickness, especially when I don't need the support (dependent on the shoe). My *one* gripe is that I wasn't used to the size of the toe area, which felt a little small/short but also had a weird amount of space around the toes (you know how you want to leave a little bit hanging when you use a certain contraceptive? like that). However this isn't an issue at all when I'm actually running"

— Corinne N. (4/5)

Great Quality, Snug Fit

"I bought these for trail running, but they just don't have enough cushioning. No problem, can wear them elsewhere, but they fit so tight, much more snugly than my other Darn Tough socks. The toe area seems small to me. I have pretty normal feet, definitely no cankles lol, and usually love the fit of DT socks. The length is correct, so sizing up wouldn't help. Cute design, I'll still wear these, just won't put them in the dryer."

— Nancy K. (4/5)

I love these. They fit

"I love these. They fit great and stay up all day"

— jeff m. (5/5)

great quality

"Still the best socks around! I would prefer them to be a little looser but I'm guessing they will stretch to my feet. Will buy again."

— Jennifer K. (4/5)

I love these socks. As

"I love these socks. As far as the size charts go, if you can wear any pair of shoes in the store, the sizing is fine. If "wide" or "roomy" shoes are laughably too tight to get your human feet into, size up. I did, and they fit my VERY three dimensional feet well. I'm a US 9, more precisely an EU 40. By the size charts I'm in the middle of "medium" which in real life are waaaaay too tight. "Large" fits me fine."

— Sharon M. (5/5)

Wear daily in cold weather

"My wide and high instep mean that my EU40/US 9ish feet need Large instead of medium, but these are my go to socks for cold weather"

— Sharon M. (5/5)

Possibly THE perfect pair of socks

"These socks are so incredibly comfortable! Nice and stretchy and snug and I'm loving the colors. I'm always a little surprised by how big the toe box looks, but the fit is perfect!"

— Sarah M. (5/5)

I love my new socks.

"I love my new socks. I needed some lightweight socks to wear every day with dressier shoes, and these are perfect. So comfortable!"

— Doris S. (5/5)

These are perfect for me!

"These are perfect for me! I like thinner socks without all the extra cushion and they stay put which seems like an easy task, but have tried so many other socks that do not. WIN!"

— Karyn H. (5/5)
