About this piece

We’re not saying you should swim in this Run quarter sock, but if you’re training for a triathlon, you might be tempted. Moisture-wicking Merino Wool combined with mesh panels on top of the foot keeps things cool and dry. The Element’s new tech foot offers a performance and blister-free fit that stays put for every stage of the race. And at that point, if you just like quarter socks, well, this is the one.

About the artist

Ric Cabot's family has been making socks in the same Northfield mill since 1978. When cheap imports nearly killed the business, Ric pivoted to premium merino wool and slapped an unconditional lifetime guarantee on every pair. The bet worked. Darn Tough now knits over 30,000 pairs a day, employs 300+ Vermonters, and has an estimated return rate under 3%. The guarantee isn't a gimmick — it's a quality control mechanism that forces them to build socks that simply don't wear out.
