DARN TOUGH is not saying you should swim in this Element 1/4 sock, but it's a triathlon sock in its own right. Moisture-wicking Merino Wool combined with mesh panels on top of the foot keep things cool and dry. The high-density knit runs a blister-free fit, and the cushion is a Spartan of durability. At that point, if you just like quarter socks, well, this is the one.

Women's 1/4 socks average 5.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 3 in. above an athletic shoe.
A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no hot spots. Here's to focusing on your workout and not your feet.
Arch support alleviates foot fatigue and bunching for long-running comfort with zero slippage.
We strategically remove material in our flex windows for socks that support good form and a full range of motion.
Merino Wool is a great athletic fiber that actively moves moisture, fights foot funk, and feels silky smooth.
Lightweight socks breathe well, feel great, and regulate temperature during tough workouts.
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.
