  • 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.
  • Merino Wool has a natural ability to move heat and moisture, keeping skier's and rider's feet warm and dry.
  • Our silky, ultra-lightweight socks are smooth, breathable, and feel like a second skin between your feet and boots.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Either way, our fit is sublime, the arch support relieves fatigue, and the comfort will carry you to wherever it is you’re going to tell your stories of the day.

Reviews

Excellent Boot Sock For Sport or Everyday Use

"This sock is the perfect blend of cushion, compression, and comfort. Since having Achilles surgery I have wrestled to find a sock that would provide the right combination of the above attributes to support my repaired ankle while being comfortable on my other foot. These socks hit on all points. Long days or working on my feet and these keep my legs comfortable."

— Christopher W. (5/5)

Great lightweight socks for everyday and special events

"I love the fit and how warm the socks are even thought they are lightweight. I can wear these on my bicycle commutes in Washington, DC as well as on casual days and dress up days. Remarkable merino wool provides all of the moisture control I need. I bought a pair of blue and a pair of black and am buying two more of each for rotational purposes."
