These socks come in no show and quarter although we recommend the quarter length for the winter so there is no possibility of a small gap of skin between the end of your tights and the socks. The extra material around the ankle will help you stay protected from the cold, wind and snow. The deep heel, hand-linked seamless toe and wide arch support band make sure that these socks stay in place and provide comfort, mile after mile.
