Thanks— I’m not buying the “black athletic socks are normal” line of reasoning.

Okay, day two of observations. n=about 40 people in the gym this morning when I went. About 60% female, 40% male. About 25% black, the rest white with a smattering of other ethnicities. My part of the state is really diverse ethnically, but it seems as if everyone gets along.

1) A disturbing amount of people wearing athletic shoes with no socks at all, mostly male. Weird.

2) Of the males that I saw with socks, both white and black, most had short ankle type white socks.

3) There were four guys with black socks, two in athletic shoes and one with what looked like black Rockports. One looked like he had black anti-thrombotic stockings on, so that didn't count IMHO.

4)As observed earlier, most females with socks tended to have light grays, light pinks etc.
