The FOX Defend 8” Sock sports a cushioned and compressive profile for superior arch support mid-ride. Trail-specific cushioning at the heel, toe, and shin provides a generous layer of comfort between your foot and your trail shoes. The sock is still lightweight, comfortable, and low-bulk in terms of its cut, but it offers just the right amount of cushioning to defend against impacts and blisters. A flat stitch toe construction reduces chaffing and irritation as you move while a rib knit upper locks into place with no slipping or bunching as you travel. A stretch cotton construction gives the Defend 8” Sock the perfect balance between breathability, comfort, and performance, and it does so in a frame that is 8-inches high to block out dirt, grime, and the overgrowth.
