What are tube socks?
Socks
pipes are socks that are knitted in one long tube so that they do not have a clearly defined area of the heel and ankle. As a result, it is a universal size design, and people buy different lengths depending on how large their legs are and how far they want their socks to achieve. Numerous clothing stores sell these socks, especially athletic shops, and can also be ordered from various manufacturers. In addition, they are relatively easy to knit and can be a fun pattern for the knitter. Athletes tend to wear them with a low percentage of cotton because cotton has little moisture wick and can easily cause blisters. Socks can be found in many types of fibers, including synthetic materials. Many manufacturers also make them available in different weights, with heavy socks for cold climates and lighter versions for use as dressing or for summer wear. These socks share the ribbed cuff of the traditional pipe socks that preventsock sliding on the leg. However, as the socks and the cuff gradually lose flexibility, they begin to slip as the ribs stretch.
Some people wear these socks simply because they are comfortable and because they provide a layer of insulation in cold weather. Others consider Theem to be a kind of fashion statement, and one can see pipe socks on certain groups in different communities that wear them as part of the overall style or appearance. For example, at the end of the 90s. Many skaters began to adopt as "old school socks", sports with other skate clothes.
Because pipe socks are so simple knit, the basic formula has probably been made for centuries. Certainly during the First World War, a stunning number was produced, because many countries contributed to knitting for war effort. For example, the Red Cross encouraged men and women at home to knit socks for soldiers intrenches, because a solid pair of socks could insulate the legs from extreme cold and painful blisters. Many knitters began to produce them because they were fast knit and because poorly rotated heel can cause pain at the wearer, so these socks would be more comfortable.
