Ankle hiking socks

38 ankle socks here, from Alpacas of Montana, Bridgedale, CEP, DexShell, Fox River, Icebreaker, PAKA, Randy Sun, Sealskinz, Smartwool, Swiftwick, Thorlo and Warrior Alpaca: the cuff stops at or just above the ankle bone, above the collar of a trail runner or low hiker. If your shoe collar rubs the ankle bone, a quarter or micro crew gives more fabric there.

Before you buy

Every brand prints its own size chart, and a medium at one maker is not a medium at another. Open the size chart for the brand you choose, or use the size finder with the exact model. Then check the heel, toes and cuff in your own shoes with the fit checklist.

Washing settings differ by maker too: the care lookup gives each model’s own instruction.
