Not sure which to choose? Go by your everyday shoe size; there is nothing to measure. If you are between sizes, size up: a sock that is a touch long is comfortable, one that is a touch short pulls at the toe all day.

The top: knit to hold gently without a tight elastic band, so it stays up without digging in and leaves no mark around the leg.

Getting them on: turn the sock inside out down to the heel, slip your foot in, then roll the top up. Ten seconds, no tugging.

Sits just above the ankle, and stays there

The same cotton and the same cushioned sole, finishing just above the ankle so it stays put instead of sliding down into your shoe. Nothing on the calf at all.

ANKLE LENGTH

Just above the ankle, nothing on the calf

Cut to finish just above the ankle bone rather than climbing the leg, so it stays put instead of working its way down into your shoe, and there is nothing on the calf to grip. Warm weather, errands, travel, a long walk. Sold in three-pair packs, so the drawer stays full.

EASY ON, EASY OFF

On in about ten seconds

Short and soft through the opening, with a proper heel pocket, so they go straight on and sit just above the ankle. No tugging at a cuff, no reaching up the leg.

NO SQUEEZE

Nothing around the calf to leave a mark

There is no cuff on your calf to begin with, and the opening holds gently just above the ankle rather than gripping it. The sock stays put all day instead of sliding down into a shoe, and at night there is no red ring to peel it off.

Cushioned underfoot, smooth at the toe

Soft cotton that pulls moisture away instead of holding onto it, with a cushioned sole underfoot and a smooth, flat toe seam that leaves no ridge to rub inside a shoe. Knit on knitting machines in Alabama and made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question isn't here, give us a call.

What makes these different from an ordinary cotton ankle sock?

The top comes just above the ankle, so it stays put instead of slipping down into your shoe, and nothing grips the calf. The opening holds gently without a tight elastic band. Soft moisture-wicking cotton, cushioned underfoot, with a smooth toe seam. Knit on knitting machines in Alabama and made in the USA.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and they will keep their shape.

How do the sizes run?

Three sizes, all based on your everyday shoe size. Medium fits shoe sizes 6–8, Large fits 9–12, X-Large fits 13–15. Between sizes, go up.

Will they slip down inside a shoe?

No. The top comes just above the ankle rather than stopping at the shoe, and the heel pocket keeps the sock seated, so it stays where you put it without gripping the ankle.

What is the 1-year replacement guarantee?

If a pair gets a hole or wears out within a year of buying it, send it back and we'll replace it free.

Poor quality

Put on the 3rd pair today, Shocked to see that there were large holes in the side of one of the socks. Since this is only the 3rd pair I tried I wonder what the quality of the remainder of the order is. Not a good value for the price.

Happy New Year

Super comfortable. Great price. My new go to sock. Got a drawer full of discards. The only think I don't like about these socks is you had no black ones. I'll be back for more black ones. I choose the ankle socks. Bonus points for being from America and sorry the Crimson Tide got their butts handed to them this year......

Leaves marks around my ankle

I have tried so many socks and have spent a lot of money looking for ones that fit the top of my swollen feet and that won't leave a dent around my ankles. These just barely fit the top of my feet, but still leave marks around my ankles. So this brand is a no for me.

Very comfortable socks

Very comfortable socks. They appear that they may not last long. The knitting and toe seam are loose and uneven. On first wash and 2 wears, they are still fine. Again, I’ll see if they hold up.
