Pokemon socks
Official Stance x Pokemon crews: Pikachu Bolt, Pikachu, Snorlax and the Pokemon UV sock, which looks plain white until the sun brings out the Pikachu graphics.
Everyday Stance: Icon, Boyd and merino wool
The Icon is Stance's everyday sock: combed cotton blend, medium cushioning, a seamless toe and a fit that stays put. We have it as a crew, a quarter and in women's slouch socks, plus the Icon merino wool crew in an RWS merino blend for winter. The Boyd crew is the other classic, also in slub and Signature Wash versions. Buying for yourself? The 3 packs, like Marine Layer and Jorongo, and the 7 pack are better value.
Stance running socks
The Run Light socks have targeted Light cushioning. The Ultra Light socks use Stance's lightest knit, for maximum breathability. Both have Infiknit reinforced heels and toes and Freshtek moisture and odour control, in crew, quarter and tab heights.
Slipper socks and boxer briefs
For sofa season there are heavy cushion slipper socks in Plum and Chestnut. Stance also make boxer briefs, including Butter Blend pairs like Cedar Rock and the Standard 3 pack.
