Quarter Socks FAQ
What are quarter socks?
Quarter socks are cushioned socks that sit 2–4 inches above the ankle bone — higher than ankle socks but lower than crew socks. They add coverage and cushioning while staying breathable, and are popular for athletics and everyday wear.
What is the difference between quarter and crew socks?
Quarter socks sit just above the ankle and stay cool and low-profile, while crew socks rise to the mid-calf for more warmth and coverage. Learn more in our sock length guide.
Are quarter socks good for running?
Yes — quarter socks clear the ankle bone to prevent shoe-collar rub, add cushioning, and wick moisture, making them a great choice for running, hiking, and the gym.
