Merino Wool Sock Comfort with Reliable Calf Coverage

Our sustainable Merino wool helps manage moisture and temperature while delivering dependable comfort in changing conditions. These knee length socks styles provide extra coverage while remaining breathable and lightweight enough for year-round wear.

Performance Sock Design with Durable Over-the-Calf Support

If you’re searching for a pair of over-the-calf runnings socks, we recommend our traditional Coolmesh II OTC socks. Coolmesh II is one of our most popular products for a reason, as they balance a light, cool feel with protection for your feet. Many customers also enjoy these styles as supportive dress or travel socks thanks to their smooth fit and durable construction.

Both our Escape and Coolmesh II Over-the-Calf are designed with Wrightsock’s Double-Layer technology, making them 100% blister-free. With options for men's and women’s socks, these performance-focused styles, these socks are built for comfort, durability, and long-lasting wear. Do you have any questions?

Common Questions

Before You Buy

  • Two layers of fabric move independently against each other — friction stays between the layers instead of attacking your skin. It's the only Double Layer anti-blister sock construction.

  • Yes — our Merino Wool styles and Max Cushion options are engineered for cold-weather performance. The double-layer system also works in boots and insulated footwear, keeping feet warm and blister-free even on long winter hikes.

  • We use premium synthetic blends (CoolMesh, Ultimax) and Merino Wool, depending on the style. All materials are selected for moisture management, durability, and next-to-skin comfort. Every pair is manufactured in Burlington, NC.
