Tube Socks – Back To The 80’s

The socks that were so popular in the 80’s are making a comeback. These comfy one size fits all tube socks are once again gaining in popularity. These socks have no heel, come in designs that are mid-calf, over the calf, and knee high styles, and are available and are suitable for both men and women. They generally have coloured stripes around the tops, but they are also available with the manufacturer’s logo printed in black instead.

The tube sock may have been designed back in the early 80’s, but with today’s materials and padding, they are again competitive products. These socks are now designed for everyday and active wear. They can be bought with cushioned half soles to enhance comfort while reducing wear and tear. Enhanced moisture wicking properties are now enabled with the high tech Coolmax fabric. Some manufacturers offer companies and sporting teams the opportunity to order these tubes with their own logos or company names emblazoned along their length or across the tops.

These standard items are available at most department stores and all sock stores. If buying socks for groups of people or even for families, the major advantage of the tube design is that they all fit most sizes. It is not necessary to size and buy individual socks for each individual. Asics, Wigwam and Cameron are among the manufacturers that make these great socks. Many people make a statement by wearing socks in various colours that brighten each person and attract attention. These socks can also be a great conversation starter in parties and at informal gatherings. There are also a number of web sites that will sell socks of this type online.
