Story & heritage
Men's Run Quarter Cushioned Ultra-Lightweight Running Socks sits in Darn Tough’s official quarter runner lane, sold directly by the Vermont sock maker as a current core style.
Redesigned for crushing paths and squashing blisters, our Run Quarter with Cushion was knit to move you. Be it through the woods or your backyard garden, our ankle-height running socks are equipped for life on the go. Flexy, supportive, and forgiving, your toes will thank you.
The brand story traces back to Cabot Hosiery Mills in Northfield, Vermont: the company began the Darn Tough brand in 2004 after decades of hosiery manufacturing.
Materials & craft
Official product data lists a Quarter height, ultra-lightweight yarn weight and cushion cushioning, giving the sock its fit profile.

How to choose & style
Choose it when the footwear matters: running shoes and athletic sneakers are the natural match, while the sock can still peek out as a quiet technical layer.
For a classic Darn Tough read, start with Skyracer Blue; rotate into White, Black, Skyracer Gray when the sock should carry more color.
