The quarter-high cut also makes them one of my favorite pairs ofhikingsocks.
They provide adequate zonal cushioning, which makes them ideal also for hiking andHIIT training.
The price is affordable, and they are extremely durable.

Added bonus: For every pair you purchase, they donate a pair to homeless shelters.
My racing flats tend to fit more snugly, and I dont want any slipping.
That perfect ankle height?
And a sock that can basically go with you anywhere and do anything?
I also love the wide cuff at the top, so they dont cut into your ankles.
They also have the elastic around the ball of the foot to prevent the sock from sliding.T.T.
I loooove these socks for training, especially for deadlift days.
Sometimes I dont wear sneakers when I deadlift, so I can really dig my heels into the ground.
The cushion on these socks is amazing.
Was it all thanks to the socks?
Well, no, probably not.
But these are absolutely my new go-tos for long runs.
Fair warning: Theyre tough to get on.
But once on, they work serious magic.
