Compared within this brand.
| Thompson Zigzag Merino Socks: Choose this if you want merino-blend crew socks with everyday comfort and durability: they pair 28% merino wool with nylon, polyester, and spandex, use Freshtek technology that adapts to body temperature to eliminate odour and wick moisture, and add a lightly padded arch for extra support. Infiknit technology reinforces the toes and heel against holes and tears, backed by Stance's Infiknit guarantee of free replacement for torn, ripped, or holed socks. Available in medium and large in the Patterned Ecru colorway, they suit shoppers who like a beige crew with a multicolor zigzag band — just note the merino content is a minority of the blend rather than pure wool.[1,2,3] | Icon Socks: Choose this if you want a comfortable everyday white crew sock: it is a stretch combed cotton blend (76% combed cotton, with polyester, nylon, and elastane) featuring a cushioned sole, built-in arch support for lasting stability, deep heel pockets, and a seamless toe closure. Reviews summarized from customers praise the soft, padded all-day comfort and long-lasting durability, with one wearer reporting no issues with the socks falling down throughout the day. Note that sizing runs a bit short for some wearers, so consider sizing up if you are on the longer end of a size; medium fits shoe sizes 6 to 8.5 and large fits 9 to 13.[4,5,6,7] |
