Socks that go over the calf stay up. I hate those new socks that some men wear that look like women’s tennis footies with the little pom-poms on the back. Very sissy. If you want to pick on boy’s/men’s athletic wear in the ‘70’s, pick on the super short “hot pants” worn in basketball in that era. I think the baggy below the knee shorts worn today are a real upgrade.

I love Fox River’s diabetic socks. They are mild compression knee socks which have elastic woven in all the way up the leg. They do NOT fall down, they wick moisture to keep you from getting blisters, and they are soft like down.

I disagree. The baggy shorts worn today look more like granny skirts. Ugly and awkward looking, I quit watching the game which has no resemblance to the great game of yesteryear.

I was on vacation on Cape Cod a few weeks back and the missus introduced those tiny little ankle socks for me to wear, the ONLY socks she packed.
I told her i look and feel like a Twink in the them.
I was pretty pissed off.

Socks are now gone from my draw, maybe i’ll use them to buff wax or something in the future..
