The Alpine High Sock from The North Face is a warm, cushioned sock made for cold days in the mountains. A blend that includes merino wool adds natural warmth and comfort. Knit patterns on the sole and top of the foot help with breathability. Cushioning at the ankle, Achilles, front sole and extended toe adds comfort in boots. A top-belt at the midfoot keeps the sock from shifting. The high cut adds coverage above the boot line.
