These ankle socks feature a 168-needle count construction, which provides a practical balance between fabric density and breathability for daily wear. The design includes a flat-linked toe seam, which helps reduce pressure points compared to standard machine seams. Combed cotton is used to improve fiber consistency, which helps the material resist pilling better than lower-grade options.
The inclusion of spandex ensures that the socks maintain their ankle-length profile through repeated wash cycles. However, specifications indicate the cuff elastic is low-modulus, meaning the socks may be susceptible to slipping off the heel if worn with low-profile sneakers. For users with high arches, the material may feel thinner across the midfoot as it stretches to accommodate the foot's shape.
The high cotton content facilitates better moisture wicking for casual use, though these are not rated for high-impact sports where accelerated thinning at the heel might occur. Features include a 10-pair variety pack that offers excellent aesthetic diversity.
If you prefer a sock with a taller "slouch" style for boots, the Losa Kute Crew provides more coverage and a different elastic mapping.
