Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the right Stance sock size and ensure a good fit?

  Stance socks size to your shoe — S/YL (US 3–5.5), M (6–8.5), L (9–13), XL (14–16), XXL (47–50) — and many styles are anatomically labeled left/right for a contoured fit. Look for features like mid-foot arch support, seamless toe closure, and stay‑put cuffs to prevent slippage; if you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for more cushioning or the smaller for a snug performance fit.
• What do Stance’s cushioning levels mean and which should I pick for running, training, or all‑day wear?

  Ultra‑light offers a barely‑there, breathable profile best for fast running and minimal bulk, light provides targeted support for tempo runs or high‑intensity training, and medium gives all‑day versatility with more impact absorption for varied activities. Choose ultra‑light or light for performance running and speed work, medium for cross‑training, hiking, or everyday wear where comfort and responsiveness matter.
• How does the Boyd Crew compare to the Montalvo Tab and Multistripe Mid Ribbed Crew?

  The Boyd Crew is a classic crew designed for everyday wear with bold graphic expression and dependable cushioning, while the Montalvo Tab is a training‑focused tab sock built for heel protection and ankle mobility during workouts. The Multistripe Mid Ribbed Crew emphasizes mid‑rib styling and can offer a balance of style and medium cushioning; look for Infiknit™ reinforcements and specific cushion notes on each product page to match durability and padding needs.
• Which Stance materials and technologies help control odor and improve durability?

  Stance uses Freshtek™ antimicrobial treatments and FEEL360 breathable mesh (with silver‑ion technology) for odor control and moisture management in run and performance socks, while merino blends add natural wicking and temperature regulation for cold‑weather/snowboard socks. Durability comes from Infiknit™ reinforced heels and toes and feather‑stitched seams that reduce blowouts and irritation over long use.
