SockGuy SGX Dog Bone is a SGX compression fit sock with a 6 in cuff, made in the USA. The design puts apple green dogs on a navy sock, with paw prints around the toe.

What it's for

SockGuy builds its crew height socks for riding on or off the road, and also lists hiking, skating, boarding, field sports, work, and everyday wear as uses. The 6 in cuff sits above the ankle, so it covers the lower leg under bike shoes, trail shoes, or boots.

How it works

PolyPro base: a thin polypropylene yarn that moves sweat away from the skin to keep feet cool and help prevent blisters

Compression cuff: a ribbed, compression style cuff that holds the sock up. SockGuy says it helps fight leg fatigue

Arch support: an elastic band around the arch keeps the sock from slipping in the shoe

Mesh upper: an open knit over the top of the foot lets air through

Heel and toe: double stitched nylon for durability, with a seamless toe

Stretch-to-Fit sizing: the knit stretches so each of the two sizes covers a wide range of foot sizes

Sizing and fit

• Small/Medium: women's shoe 6 to 10, men's shoe 5 to 9
• Large/XL: women's shoe 10 to 14, men's shoe 9 to 13
• How to choose: pick by shoe size. If you are on the line between sizes, the knit stretches, so either can work

Care and service

• Washing: turn the socks inside out, then wash and dry on cool or low heat
• Fabric softener: do not use it
• Graphics: the design is knitted into the sock, so it does not fade off like a print
• Warranty: SockGuy covers its socks for one year from purchase
