REI Co-op Minimalist Lightweight Running Mini-Crew Socks
For your workouts, if you prefer a more minimalist sock—lighter and less padded—then these REI Co-op socks are made for you. Knit-in arch support is great for running or general fitness training.
- Lighter and less padded design is ideal for runners who prefer an overall minimalist footwear setup—or who have highly cushioned shoes and don't want to double-up on padding
- Nylon yarn is very hard-wearing for excellent stability and longevity; a touch of spandex provides allover compression for an active, performance fit
- Mini-crew height provides extra coverage to help keep your ankles clean, dry and comfortable on the move
- Cushioning in heel and toe offers shock absorption at key impact areas
- Knit-in mesh panels on the tops of the feet allow breathability
- Ribbed arch support promotes circulation and reduces foot fatigue
- Patterned instep provides focused compression and breathability
- Pique-knit leg for comfortable stretch and added durability
- Seamless comfort toe to reduce bulk
- Machine wash in cold water; do not use bleach or fabric softener; do not dry clean; tumble dry low
- REI Co-op brand is certified to The Climate Label; we actively fund efforts to reduce carbon emissions across our business and support climate projects around the world
- Made in USA with imported and domestic yarns

Mini Crew Socks
Socks are dark blue not black like advertised
Best quality, fit & value. Period.
Best quality & value hiking/biking socks. Quality, price & fit are superb. No movement, no slipping, no frills, they just work. Period. Better yet, no pointless brand promotion just a subtle reminder on the toes (“REI co-op) of why REI is my go-to outdoor retailer (plus bike & ski tune up shop too) fir the past 20-years my family & I have been members. They nailed it with this one.
Love them!
I have yet to wash them… but I love my socks! I think better than Nike eventhough their cotton material is what I opt for usually but I will be buying more to see what these are about
Black is actually navy blue
As another reviewer noted, these socks are unmistakably navy blue, not black.
Great price for running socks!
Great price compared to higher end running socks that go for $30 and up. I’ve put 20+ miles on a pair I grabbed recently. So far so good
Reliable sock!
Looking for a reliable sock to wear with my walking shoes - and this is it!
Holy Moly
The socks had holes after one wearing so I took them back.
