A firm, even hold that runs from ankle to calf. The knit sits dense and smooth against the leg, so it slides into a trainer without bunching and stays there through a run, a shift on your feet or a long afternoon of walking.

At 85% nylon with a jacquard knit, the fabric feels close and supportive rather than bulky. It absorbs sweat, resists friction where the shoe rubs and grips the leg with an anti-slip cuff, so the sock stays where you placed it.

Medium in thickness, it works through summer training and layers quietly under winter boots. Sizes run S/M and L/XL, and the long leg disappears beneath leggings, trousers or a skirt worn with trainers.

Pairs arrive in multi-pair sets grouped by style, so you can keep one in the gym bag, one in the desk drawer and one in your travel case.
