    I play in Nike elite socks only now because whenever I would play in normal Nike socks I would feel a lot of discomfort and foot pain after, but with Nike elite socks I wouldn’t feel any discomfort while playing or foot pain after

    I bought lots of socks once new priced at a discount on sale in Value Village. They were actually new and never had been opened or used though clothing there often is. Found the crew socks very comfortable to wear yet ankle socks I don’t like as they never stay on and kept slipping. Also the feeling of my ankle half covered I never got used to

  • @mlc9928

    I wear 3/4 length a lot but my go to is the crew length for protection against impact or scrapes against my skin and I also have a plate and screws in my ankle so that padding is good against bumps or hits.

    Interesting to hear, I've been wearing mid-socks since crew socks just felt like more work and harder to put on, though I also haven't tried crew socks that actually are for my feet size which might be a contributing factor. How important is making sure the socks you buy are listed as actually fitting?

    I tried bombas, they felt too slick in my shoes and would twist on my foot a lot. They were the running style though. I have stance medium cushioning athletic socks now which are working for me. I found that no dryer when washing my socks now was really important. Keeps them in good shape

    Drinking game, every time Zach says Bombas take a shot!
    I like crews, but even the bombas have trouble staying up on my calves/knankles. Going to try some ankle ones next but not sure how I feel about that height. I do like the freer feeling of the no shows, but some shoes I have don't work well with them.

    Most socks are too stinking narrow and too tight. Just like the problem with the vast majority of shoes from the biggest brands, the toe profile ruins feet over time with smashed toe box and lifted heel stack, and zero connection to feeling the ground.

    I only wear Basketball crew socks or Nike Elite NBA Grip mids. ...I've had heel issues with a certain shoe I probably should stop playing in but the sock I was wearing got wet and slippery causing painful big blisters which forced me to cut my basketball workout short by about 20-30min..The Sock I was wearing was thew Point 3 Impact crew mid. I was fine until they got all soaked up..My workouts go 2 hrs but this time I had to stop as I was getting hobbled. What sock works best for heel rubbing or what sock has the best heel and achilles padding...that's what I need for the heavy barefoot feeling Harden 5 hoop shoes I'm wearing for outdoor rn...also sized too snug for me (9.5 instead of my normal 10.5 - narrow skinny foot) . I was thinking either get some good tennis socks but I don't know much about what socks are ideal for my situation.

    I'm not clear on what the difference is between @bombas2726 tennis-specific socks and all the fun looking ones. I'd much rather use socks with Cookie Monster on them if I have the choice without sacrificing the practical aspects of the sock for tennis.

    • @djgulia3656
      @djgulia3656 Рік тому

      For the ankle socks, the tops are different. The tennis and running ankle socks have an extra tab on the front of the ankle, and the back tab is flat rather than rolled. I pretty much only wear Bombas socks, and prefer the tennis/running vs others as they are better at not shifting around on my foot.
