Mid Socks

The height between an ankle sock and a crew. Mid socks, which most people call quarter socks, land above the ankle bone so they won't slip into a low-top the way a no-show can, and stop below the point where a crew becomes the first thing people notice. They're the pick for runners, low-top sneakers, cropped pants, warm weather, and anyone building an everyday rotation that has to work with every shoe they own.

Every pair has Quad-Ply Yarn padding under the arch and at the heel and forefoot, the patented Heel Strap, arch compression that holds without squeezing, and mesh vents for moisture. The Basic Mid comes in white, black, grey, and navy from $12 a pair up to 8-packs; the Eco Premium Mid 4-Pack is the same height in a recycled knit; and the Bounce 2.0 Quarter multi-pack adds the performance cushioning for training.
