Stance Socks Snakebite Boyd Crew Afterglow
The Boyd stripe you already know, with a snake striking out of the black band. Cream body, tan stripes, and a mid-cushion combed cotton blend that wears every day.
Stance's Boyd is their long-running striped crew, and this is the Snakebite take on it in the Afterglow colourway. The body is a soft cream, the stripes run tan-cream-black-cream-tan around the leg, and there is an embroidered snake head on the black band — small, detailed, and the only loud thing on the sock. The Stance hex on the ankle is stitched tonally in cream so it reads as texture rather than branding.
- 76% combed cotton — the short fibres are combed out before spinning, so the yarn is smoother, stronger and holds its shape better than standard cotton
- Mid cushioning with targeted support — padding where your foot actually needs it rather than a uniform thick sock, so it still fits a trainer properly
- Deep heel pockets and a seamless toe closure — it stays put through the day and there is no ridge across your toes

Questions we get asked
Which size am I?
We have these in Large only, which is UK men's 8.5–12.5 (EU 43–47). That comes straight off the sock's own swing tag.
How thick are they?
Mid cushion. Everyday thickness — comfortable in a trainer or a boot, not a thick winter sock.
What colour is Afterglow really?
A soft cream, close to unbleached white, with tan and black banding at the top. It is not a grey sock despite what some listings say — we have had the pair in our hands.
Where is the snake?
Embroidered onto the black stripe at the top of the leg, on the outside of the sock. Both socks in the pair carry it.
Will the stripes show above a trainer?
Yes, that is the point of a crew. The striped section sits around the top of the calf.
Can I tumble dry them?
Better not to. Elastane and nylon do not like heat, so wash cool and air dry and they will keep their shape far longer.
