Men's 1/4 socks average 14 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 8 cm above a running sneaker.
A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters. Here's to focusing on your run and not your feet.
Runners enjoy Merino Wool's ability to dry quickly and move excess heat and moisture away from feet.
Our lowest profile, ultra-lightweight yarns create zero bulk, zero itch socks that feel like a second skin.
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.
