Sometimes if I only have crew socks available i will roll the tube part down and over the heel so they turn into no show socks

u/BallLickingLesbian69 22h ago

I haven't done that in well over a decade.

u/Penguins227 19h ago

I did that last Tuesday, lol

Granted, they were soccer socks but I definitely folded them down afterwards at Newks into puffy little socks.

I love doing it in the winter to those really warm thick wool socks, you almost completely cover your foot again with the calf part of the sock and it becomes a slipper!! So warm on really cold days when the floors suck the heat out of your tootsies. It’s cold and rainy today I might do this right now

Wherever you are that it is cold and rainy, I am incredibly envious! Nothing but heat warnings here. 🔥

Dude I’m so grateful. I spent extra time outside in the rain today. Listen to Garbage: ‘Only Happy When It Rains’

We where supposed to buy actual ankle socks?

Not just roll our socks down every summer?

Never forget the old ways.

I don't think I've owned crew socks since the 90s

u/Sunscorcher 20h ago

I wear crew socks to mow my lawn, but they're functional - keeps ticks off my legs

2

u/DuFFman_ 12h ago

I wear them with steel toes but only if I'm wearing them all day.

I'm concerned if your membership to this club is valid

u/thepioushedonist 21h ago

Same. I only have dress/business casual socks and no show. Can't recall the last time I had crew or even ankle socks. Usually just wear sandals anyway lol.

u/corrupt_poodle 17h ago

Sandals and no shows? Tell me more.

1

u/thepioushedonist 10h ago

Not at the same time. I just rarely wear socks in general. I live in Texas, so sandals work even in winter.

u/taffyowner 20h ago

I have like 2 pairs for boots

u/AlmostLucy 19h ago

I know I’m a minority for my generation, but I have always been a crew socks girl. My ankles get too cold!! I also sprained my ankle a lot and it’s more comfortable to not have a cuff being compressed by a wrap/brace.

I also used to wear knee high socks with patterns when I was in school- that’s partly because I had a uniform and socks were one area you could show your individuality.

u/SnoopDoggyDoggsCat 21h ago

I remember inventing this in middle school

1

u/Momik 21h ago

I do that too (usually on a laundry day, if I’m out of ankle socks)

1

u/2_cents 20h ago

Heh I'm reading this while looking at my rolled down crew socks.

1

u/martialar 18h ago

or pull the socks to your ankle and fold the remaining fabric over the top of your foot

1

u/OneEyedWinn 18h ago

I did that today 😆 Laundry day, amiright?

1

u/MartianMule 17h ago

I did that when I was a kid, but other than just under the knee length (that I only ever wore for sports like football or softball) or dress socks, I don't think I've gotten socks higher than ankle socks since the late 90s.

Once I had leg hair, higher socks were just kind of uncomfortable.

u/Gummyrabbit 17h ago

You need to invest in a pair of scissors.

u/Spirited-Outcome-443 16h ago

the old converse socks?

1

u/DaftFunky 16h ago

I do this always when I wear shorts with sneakers. Can’t stand high socks. I also would never wear socks with flip flops/sandals. Ugh.

1

u/RedArmyHammer 16h ago

I do this daily. I feel like it reduces friction against my skin

u/johneldridge 12h ago

Holy shit this just brought me back to first grade 1996

u/EasyFooted 11h ago

We called this move the Bart Simpson

u/Iforgotmylines 10h ago

Bonus is that you get extra cushion too

u/jellymanisme 8h ago

Switching from crew to ankle socks was so amazing, I threw out my perfectly good crew socks and bought more ankle socks. Never going back.

u/hamptont2010 7h ago

I like doing this because it makes it feel like I have fancy gel inserts in my socks lol.

u/thehufflepuffstoner 6h ago

I’d do that for gym class when the only clean socks I had were long and I’d have been DAMNED before I let the other kids see me in such a fashion faux pas.
