quarter socks

Low-cut foot coverings

Quarter socks rise about a quarter of the way up the lower leg, covering the ankle and extending a few inches above it.

They sit between ankle socks and crew socks in height, typically reaching just above the ankle bone.

Popular for athletic wear, they provide some cushioning while remaining mostly hidden by sneakers: I prefer quarter socks for running.
