Calf Socks, also called over-the-calf socks, are socks designed with an extended high cuff that covers the calf.
Calf Socks designed for sport specific activities sometimes feature a padded high cuff that provides protection and support around the calf as well as padding around the Achilles tendon for shock absorption.
