Quarter hiking socks

50 quarter socks here: the cuff covers the ankle bone, so a low hiker’s collar sits on fabric, not skin. Darn Tough’s quarter is 5.5 inches heel to cuff for adults; Farm to Feet, PAKA and Point6 call the same height 1/4 crew.

Too low for most mid boots: their collar sits above a quarter cuff.

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.
