## Description

Darn Tough Men's Run 1/4 Ultra-Lightweight seamless merino socks are made from the lightest and thinnest yarn that the company Darn Tough uses. They are the ideal choice for summer in trail and road running shoes. Thanks to the ankle length, no pebbles or needles will get into the sock. The foot cushioning absorbs shocks while walking and running. They wick away moisture effectively and prevent blisters, even during really long runs. As with all Darn Tough models, you can also rely on a lifetime warranty.

Men's ultralight and thin ankle running merino socks.

## Running like on clouds

These ankle merino socks are specifically designed for long runs. They fit perfectly, don’t bunch up anywhere, and the seamless design prevents blisters. They are made from the lightest and thinnest yarn, yet have thoughtfully constructed and strategically placed cushioning for shock absorption while running. The instep features ventilation panels for improved breathability. The ankle length fits all trail and road running shoes.

**Specifications**

- Cushion: terry loop fabric underfoot, over the heel, around the ankle and the Achilles
- Material: 50% merino wool, 46% nylon, 4% elastane
- Fabric weight: ultra-lightweight
- Sock height: ankle (14 cm from heel to top edge)
- Style number: 1040
- Weight: 36 g (size M)

**Benefits of Darn Tough merino socks**

- **Perfect fit**: They don't slip, bunch, or cause blisters.
- **Fine knit**: Light on the foot, but durable in the field.
- **Quick-drying**: They absorb sweat and dry quickly.
- **Thermoregulation**: Cools in summer, warms in winter.
- **Socks for a lifetime**: Lifetime warranty. No conditions and no catches.

## Lifetime Warranty

Really! Darn Tough stands so firmly behind the quality of their socks that **if you get a hole in your socks, you’ll get a new pair**.

Quality socks are the foundation of every adventure. The lifetime warranty provides valuable feedback from users and serves as a driving force for continuous improvement, supporting Darn Tough's mission: **'We design and manufacture the most comfortable, durable, and best-fitting socks.'**

**It doesn't matter where you bought the socks** – you can make a claim at the distributor for the Czech market, abroad, and at brick-and-mortar stores of Darn Tough sock retailers (you don't even need a receipt).

You can find all the details about the warranty and the exchange process on [this page](/darn-tough-lifetime-guarantee).

## How to take care of socks

Merino socks don’t need to be washed after every wear. Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and resistant to odors. In fact, washing them less frequently extends their durability. Therefore, you can wash the socks after a few days of wear or even after a month — it’s all about your personal preferences.

Before washing, **turn the socks inside out**.

Wash in the washing machine on a **gentle cycle** or in warm water. If your washing machine has a **wool cycle**, you can use this setting. If you’re washing the socks while trekking in the wild, we recommend [multi-purpose cleaner Sea To Summit](/p/sea-to-summit-wilderness-wash-100-ml), which is gentle on both the environment and your socks and skin. **Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.**

Leave the socks to dry in the dryer on a low temperature or ideally air dry them.

**What to avoid**: High heat and aggressive chemicals can damage the properties of merino wool fibers. To ensure your socks last as long as possible, keep these 4 rules in mind:

- Do not clean chemically.
- Do not use bleach.
- Do not use fabric softener.
- Do not iron.
