The Quarter Cut Compression Collection
The universal height that does most: arch, plantar fascia, and ankle support that clears the shoe collar, from court to trail to a long shift.
The Quarter Cut Edition is an above-the-ankle compression sock for men and women, cut at the one height that does the most jobs well: it rises a little above the ankle, over the collar of most shoes and cleats, to wrap the ankle and Achilles, yet stays short enough to wear with shorts. It’s the ankle support sock ZaTech recommends first: graduated compression supports the arch and plantar fascia through a busy day or a long shift, keeps the ankle feeling steady through a change of direction on a court, and holds the foot snug on a trail. Available in nine colors, from Gray and Black on Black to Electric Yellow and Red, with a seamless toe and a compression knit band around the arch and ankle. One height, made for however your day actually uses your feet.

US shoe sizes. Between sizes: size up for comfort, down for a tighter fit.
How it should fit
- Snug by design. Compression socks should fit relatively snug so the targeted zones sit where they’re meant to.
- Wide feet? Go one size up; XX-Large suits large, wide feet.
- Putting them on. Roll the sock down, stretch it sideways, slide your toes in and roll it up. Expect a slight pull over the heel.
Care
- Machine wash, gentle cycle, warm water, neutral soap.
- No bleach.
- Low-temperature dryer is fine; stretch gently by hand to restore the shape.
- With daily wear, replace about every 5-6 months.

FAQs
Is the Quarter Cut Edition good for plantar fascia support, athletic performance, and everyday use?
Yes — it's ZaTech's most versatile height, built to brace the arch, the plantar fascia, and the ankle and hold up through long standing or seated shifts equally well.
Will it fit inside shoes or sneakers?
Yes. The snug fit adds no bulk inside the shoe, and the Quarter Cut rises a little above the ankle, over the collar of most shoes, sneakers and cleats, to support the ankle.
What size should I order?
Use the size chart on this page: sizes run from Small to XX-Large by shoe size. Between sizes, size up for everyday comfort or down for a tighter fit; for wide feet, go one size up.
How do I wash and care for them?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with warm water and neutral soap, and skip the bleach. A low-temperature dryer cycle is fine; stretch the socks gently by hand afterwards to restore their shape.
How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping within the US is free and usually takes 4-5 business days.
What if they don't fit?
Not sure of your size? Contact us before you order. Our 30-day Risk-Free Wear-Test covers one pair; additional returns and refunds are covered by our refund policy.
How is the Quarter Cut different from the Low Cut?
The Quarter Cut rises a little above the ankle, over the collar of most shoes and cleats, to support the ankle; it has the same support as the Merino and Knee High in a shorter, more versatile height. The Low Cut sits just below the ankle bone and stays hidden in low-top shoes.
