What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I appreciate how these focus compression where I feel it most-through the foot and ankle. They stay comfortable all day and feel more supportive than standard quarter socks."The Ascend II Quarter is designed for moderate compression support in a low-profile, everyday-friendly height. Its balanced compression helps promote circulation and reduce foot and ankle fatigue during long periods of standing, walking, or travel, while the quarter-length cuff keeps the feel lightweight and versatile across a wide range of footwear. A premium yarn blend combines merino wool for moisture management and temperature regulation with alpaca fibers for added softness and durability. Nylon and spandex provide stretch and shape retention, helping the sock maintain consistent support over time. Accu-fit construction, a medium-cushion sole, arch support, and a seamless toe closure work together to deliver long-lasting comfort.
