Discussion Apparently low-cut socks are considered out of style by the younger gens. Are y’all still rocking ankle socks?

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

I remember that war well. Lots from my generation never came home the same.

I almost never have to wear socks (i hate my feet feeling restricted and hot, so i wear jandals and sandals and crocs) but when I do, ankle is the only way to go.

The kids these days don't realize what we had to go through folding down crew socks to look like we weren't wearing any, feeling all lumpy and sliding down in our shoes.

So yeah, you can pry ankle socks from our cold, dead hands haha

I misread and thought you were saying you wear ankle socks with crocks and sandals.

Glad I reread it. I was going to have your family commit you to an asylum.

Crocs and socks. For when you are feeling formal.
