What are the Element Quater Socks?
They are quarter-height running socks that offer lightweight yet supportive cushioning with every stride. Made for endurance, these fantastic socks are breathable, moisture-wicking and offer all-day comfort.
Although optimised for running, these versatile socks can be used for everything from various outdoor activities to casual everyday use.
What are they made of?
What makes the Darn Tough socks so different and so durable is the way they are constructed. The socks are made with high-density Merino wool, which provides supreme rebound cushioning. These densely woven fibres are packed so tight they cannot flatten and shear under use.
These socks primarily use merino wool, meaning they're warm, naturally odour-resistant and will wick away sweat during activity. With added Nylon and Lycra Spandex, these socks have increased strength, durability and stretch, so they can easily put in as many miles as you can.
How cushioned are they?
These 1/4 running socks feature soft terry loops underfoot and targeted protection over the ankle and Achilles, which offers midweight cushioning for comfortable year-round wear.
What are the features?
Created in a quarter-height design, these socks are around 5.5 inches from the heel to the cuff. They feature a performance fit that helps prevent them from slipping down your feet or bunching under your shoes while running for the ball.
The mesh panels on top of the foot give it an incredibly light, airy feel, but the cushion underneath is down to go the distance. Darn Tough's new tech knit wraps the foot, it feels like a second skin of Merino Wool for moisture-wicking, no-slip performance that never gets beat.
In true Darn Tough style, these lovely socks are still made at their VT-based Mills (Vermont, USA), honouring their brand heritage and ensuring traditional, ethical practices within their manufacturing process.
