Built for road runners who want a little more coverage without the weight of a conventional training sock. The ankle cuff sits above the shoe collar, while targeted Merino zones help manage heat and moisture over long sessions. Arch compression and a low-bulk toe finish help the sock stay settled as pace and distance build.
