Ankle socks are a type of sock that sits just above the ankle bone, providing comfort and practicality while walking or engaging in various activities
. They are shorter than crew socks and longer than no-show socks
. Ankle socks can be made from various materials, such as cotton, cashmere, bamboo, and man-made fibers like nylon and polyester
. The length of ankle socks varies, with some being as short as low-cut socks that barely cover the ankle bone, while others are slightly longer, reaching a few inches above the top of the shoe
. Ankle socks are popular for several reasons:
- They are comfortable, as they don't constrict the feet and don't bunch up at the top
- They are versatile and can be worn with various types of shoes, from sandals and sliders to ankle boots
- They come in a wide range of styles, colors, and materials, catering to different preferences and occasions
Some common types of ankle socks include athletic, crew, and no-show socks
. Athletic socks are designed to reduce sweat and keep feet cool, making them ideal for sports and other physical activities
. Crew socks are taller than ankle socks and are often worn around the mid- calf, with various colors and textures that can complement the rest of the outfit
. No-show socks, also known as liner socks, are made to line the inside of shoes and are typically shorter than low-cut ankle socks
