Men's over the calf socks average 17 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to cover the leg to just below the knee.
A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no boundaries. Here's to feeling connected and comfortable in your boots run after run.
Reinforced Achilles cushion reduces heel lift, which helps socks feel better on and last season to season.
We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
Merino Wool has a natural ability to move heat and moisture, keeping skier's and rider's feet warm and dry.
Lightweight socks balance breathability with responsive temperature regulation to keep feet comfortable all day.
The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.
