I do not have an ankle. I have more of a cankle (unfortunately). However, the design of this sock gives the illusion that I do, in fact, have an ankle. They are very soft and cushioned. On my foot, they do show and slide around a lot, but that could be other factors not directly related to the sock. I'd purchase more and would love other color options. Overall, these are the best no-show socks I've worn.
