Size Chart
Sock Sizing
Socks should fit as well as any of your other garments. The heel should sit on your heel and not under it as in a sock too small, nor half way up your Achilles as in a sock that’s too large. Socks should be flush against your foot with no extra material sagging. The toe seam should lay flat across the top of the toes.
Sock Heel at Your Heel
The sock heel should sit on your heel, not under it or above it.
Flat Toe Seam
The toe seam should lie flat along the top of your toes, not above or below.
Taut Across the Foot
Socks should be taut across your foot with no sagging material. If you wear a wide shoe size (E+), consider sizing up.
| Shoe Size | US Men | US Women |
| Small | – | 3 – 6.5 |
| Medium | 7 – 9 | 7 – 10 |
| Large | 9.5 – 11.5 | 10.5 – 12.5 |
| X-Large | 12 – 14 | – |
Insole Sizing
The right insole can make a significant difference to your comfort. The insole should fit the shape and contour of your shoe and the length should be a perfect match. The toe of the insole should not crumple up against the inside of the shoe, nor should it be too short.
Insole Matches Shoe Contour
The insole should fit the shape of your shoe, without any overhang or gaps.
Perfect Length
The insole should match the length of your shoe perfectly. The toe of the insole should not crumple or be too short.
| Shoe Size | US Men | US Women |
| Small | 5 – 6.5 | 6 – 7.5 |
| Medium | 7 – 8.5 | 8 – 9.5 |
| Large | 9 – 10.5 | 10 – 11.5 |
| X-Large | 11 – 12.5 | 12 – 13.5 |
You've asked for them, we made them, our new warmer climate short ankle socks, the "Best Overall Short Sock".
This sock has a great foot fit design with integra
ted arch support, terry loop cushioning through the footbed, flat toe seam, breathing toe box, ultra re-inforced on the heel and ball of the foot. It is insulating, soft and durable, wicking moisture away like nothing you’ve ever experienced. They are a little heavier and more cushioning than you would expect but truly maintain your body temp without trapping excess heat.
Designed for a dry cool comfort in hot environments, with superior moisture regain properties, and exceptional air-flow almost double the wicking of fine wool. (keeps your feet dry and sweat free)
Exceptionally durable for outdoor activities, long distance running, hold up strong for eighteen holes, or just knocking around town in your sneakers. These socks are incredibly easy to care for and due to their antimicrobial properties, feel free to wear them a few times before washing. But when they do need to be cleaned, simply machine wash on the warm or cool setting, then toss them in the dryer.
