MediPeds non-binding quarter socks

The same non-binding cuff and cushioned sole cut to stop just above the ankle bone, in white, black and two grey-heeled versions. Four pairs to a packet or eight, in shoe sizes from men 6-9 to men 12-15.

A quarter sock stops roughly two fingers above the ankle bone. That is high enough to keep the back of a shoe off your skin, which a no-show does not do, and low enough to disappear under a trouser cuff in summer. People buy this shelf for one of two reasons. Either they want the crew knit without the leg — same cuff, same cushion, less sock in a warm month — or they have found that a cuff sitting on the ankle bone rather than up the calf suits a leg that is tender higher up. The cushion runs under the foot and around the heel, and on the two-tone versions you can see it: the grey is the cushioned yarn, and it stops where the cushion stops. If you are ordering for someone who cannot feel a rub, the shorter sock has one honest disadvantage over the crew, which is that the top edge sits at exactly the height of a walking boot collar. In a boot, take the crew.
