crew sock

Mid-calf athletic footwear

A crew sock is an athletic sock that rises to mid-calf, longer than an ankle sock but shorter than a knee sock.

The name comes from rowing crews, who wore this length.

Crew socks are the default sock style for casual and athletic wear: I grabbed a pair of crew socks for the gym.
