* All measurements are in inches. Measure bare foot from heel to longest toe.
* Sock fit works with low‑cut, crew, mid‑calf and over‑the‑cuff styles.
* If between shoe sizes, choose the larger sock size for better comfort with thick boots.
* Merino wool will stretch with wear; compression varies by cushion weight: light, mid, heavy cushion.
All the features you expect from our Light Hiker collection, but now in 1/4 sock height.

Cushion extending up the Achilles adds targeted comfort and enhances the durability we guarantee for life.
