Crew Socks

It comes down to height. Quarter socks sit just above the ankle bone, mid-crew socks reach a few inches higher on the lower leg, and crew socks rise toward the mid-calf. All three use a 360° compression body with an arch band and ankle support; for compression up the calf, choose a knee-high.

Crew socks focus their support on the foot, arch and ankle with a 360° compression body. They don't reach high enough to give graduated compression through the calf. If you want that, or support for leg swelling, a knee-high style is the better fit.

Yes. Our outdoor socks are made for trails and cold-weather walks, with a terry-cushioned sole, arch and ankle support, breathable mesh and moisture-wicking WickWell™ yarn. Outdoor knee-highs add 8–15 mmHg graduated compression through the calf for longer hikes and travel days.

Yes. Our ankle, quarter, mid-crew, crew and liner socks are one-size-fits-most and fit the same shoe sizes as our knee-highs: women's shoe sizes 4–10 and men's shoe sizes 7–12. Stretch yarn and flex zones help them adapt to your foot for a snug, secure fit without pinching. If you have questions about fit, our customer care team is happy to help.

WickWell™ is a moisture-wicking polyester yarn we use in many of our ankle, quarter, crew, liner, outdoor and performance styles. It pulls sweat away from your skin so your feet stay drier and more comfortable, and it works with our anti-microbial, anti-odor finish to keep socks fresh.
