Our take

Same two layers as the crew, shorter and $2 cheaper. The quarter height covers the shoe's collar, so the back of the shoe can't rub your heel. It's the one to try first for blisters under the ball of the foot.

  • The catchThin. If you like a plush sock, this will feel like nothing's there.
  • Best forForefoot blisters, when crew socks feel too hot.
