Collection: Obese Quarter Socks

Quarter socks (quarter length socks) are a type of sock that covers the foot and extends up just above the ankle, but not as high as mid-calf. They typically rise about an inch or two above the shoe line, providing a balance between protection and comfort while remaining relatively discrete under most shoe types. They offer enough protection from blisters while still keeping a low profile. A popular choice for sports and casual wear.

Quarter socks typically go about 1 to 2 inches above the ankle. They provide coverage that extends just above the shoe line, but they do not reach as high as mid-calf like crew socks. This makes them ideal for additional protection and comfort without the full coverage of taller socks.

Yes, quarter socks, available as mens quarter socks and women's quarter socks, are designed to provide comfort and protection just above the ankle, making them suitable for a variety of activities, from sports to casual outings. These socks, also known as quarter length socks or quarter crew socks, cater to different preferences and foot sizes, with key differences typically found in size, color, and design options. 

While we champion our cotton blend, we also nod to the unique qualities of other materials:

• Bamboo Fiber stands out for its softness and eco-friendly virtues.

Quarter socks are typically made from a blend of materials to provide comfort, breathability, and durability. Common materials include:

• Cotton: Provides softness and natural breathability, making it comfortable for everyday wear.
• Nylon or Polyester: Adds strength, elasticity, and moisture-wicking properties to help keep feet dry.
• Spandex or Elastane: Offers stretch and ensures the socks maintain their shape and fit snugly around the foot and ankle.
• Wool or Merino Wool: Used in some quarter socks for added warmth and moisture management, ideal for cooler conditions or outdoor activities.

These materials can be combined in various proportions to achieve different properties, such as increased cushioning, moisture management, or thermal regulation. We offer a combination of

Caring for your quarter socks or quarter crew socks is straightforward and can greatly extend their lifespan while maintaining their comfort. Here's what you need to know based on our product guidelines:

• Machine Washable: You can safely machine wash these socks. Always check the specific care instructions provided with your product for the best results.
• Cold Water: Use cold water in the washing machine. This helps prevent shrinking and fading, keeping your socks looking new for longer.
• Inside Out: Turn the socks inside out before washing. This minimizes pilling and helps maintain the vibrant colors.
• Non-Chlorine Bleach: If needed, you can use non-chlorine bleach to tackle tough stains without damaging the fabric.
• Gentle Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent and avoid using bleach and fabric softeners, which can degrade the material and affect the sock's stretch.
• Separate from Heavy Fabrics: Wash your socks with similar lightweight materials. Avoid washing them with heavy items like jeans or towels to prevent damage.
• Air Dry: Air drying is recommended to retain the shape and elasticity of your socks. If you must use a dryer, choose a low heat setting and remove the socks while slightly damp.
• Proper Storage: Once dry, fold your socks and store them in a cool, dry place to avoid any stretching or misshaping.

By following these simple steps, your quarter socks will remain comfortable, supportive, and in excellent condition, wash after wash.
