The current trends towards six-inch sock heights are fine if you're on the tall side of the spectrum, but some of us need a slightly shorter cuff to get that just-under-the-calf aesthetic that's as pro as it is comfortable. Castelli meets that demand with its Women's Vertice Sock, featuring the tallest cuff in the company's women-specific line at a moderate 3. 5 inches that balances form and function to keep you looking and feeling cool in the saddle.
