Some crew socks are made for performance since it's a great length for athletic socks or cushionedgym socks. Try a pair of wool hiking socks in mini crew or micro crew length (slightly shorter than regular crew) and you will find they make every step a little cozier.
Ankle Socks
Ankle socks come in two main lengths, the longer quarter socks and the shorter low-cut ankle socks.
Quarter Socks
Quarter socks are often called shorty socks, anklets or just ankle socks, but compared to the shorter low-cut ankle sock, they are on the longer side. A quarter sock is about half the length of a crew sock — if you think of knee socks as 100% leg coverage and crew socks as 50%, quarter socks are 25% — so, a quarter! Since they are long enough to show a word, saying or design, many of our quarter socks have fun novelty patterns.
Low-Cut Socks
This length of ankle sock just barely shows above a pair of sneakers, and sometimes has a tab on the back to keep your heel from rubbing against your shoes. Because they are minimalist and comfortable, ankle socks are a popular choice for athletes who wear these short socksas running socks, cycling socks or workout socks inside their tennis shoes. Ankle-length socks can be awesome athletic socks, but we also offer plenty of cute low-cut ankle socks that look great with flats and heels.
No-Show Socks
Need some low-cut socks that no one can see inside your shoes? Alsoknown as pedi socks or footies, a pair of no-show socks will be invisible when worn with most shoes. Rocka sockless look in boat shoes or loafers—no-show socksare agreat way to keep cool and stink-free in the summer!
