MediPeds sock heights, and which shoe each one suits
Where the sock stops is the first thing to settle and the thing a photograph on white cannot show you, because a sock in a photograph is lying flat. Four heights, drawn against the same leg.
- 4 heights
- 17 socks
- 12 shoe sizes
- $7.99 to $25.99
Pick the height, and the shelf behind it holds the colours and pack counts.
- Over the calfComes up under the knee. The compression line is cut at this height and nothing else here is.
- CrewMid-calf, under a trouser and inside a boot. The shelf most of this catalogue sits on.
- QuarterTwo fingers above the ankle bone: high enough to keep a shoe collar off the skin.
- Sport cut linerFinishes below the shoe line, so nothing shows above a loafer.
The drawing is to scale against itself, not against your leg: where a sock lands depends on how tall you are more than on which packet you open.

The same socks grouped by shelf, for when you already know the height you want.
Height decides more than colour does, so it sits at the top of every card in the MediPeds shelves along with the shoe-size range and how many pairs are in the packet.
Before you order
Questions about MediPeds sock heights
Four that come up most.
Which MediPeds height should you buy for a work boot?
The crew. A boot collar lands almost exactly where a quarter sock ends and pushes it down through the day, while a crew sits above the collar and keeps leather off your skin.
What is the difference between a MediPeds quarter sock and an ankle sock?
A quarter is the taller of the two ideas. An ankle sock usually sits at or just below the ankle bone; a quarter clears it by about two fingers, which is what keeps the back of a low shoe off bare skin.
How high do MediPeds over-the-calf socks come?
Up under the knee. That is the tallest sock in the range and the only height the mild compression line is knitted in.
Do MediPeds liner socks show above a shoe?
The cut finishes under the shoe line, so a loafer or a low trainer shows bare ankle and no cuff. There is also nothing between the back of the shoe and your heel, which matters if that is where your shoes rub.
