Fullright Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 No socks...barefoot since age 12. Just feels better; nothing more than personal preference. However, you will lose popularity with family. After a particularly busy game, took the then girlfriend/now wife to her home and she let me stash the gear in her parents' basement. My beloved mother in law got up the next morning and freaked out thinking that their house's sewer drain backed up into the basement. The source: my skates. Stuff of life.

loki1416 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Regular ankle cut white socks from walmart. When skating out, knee high white socks from walmart. Grew up playing outdoors (Michigan) and have always been used to wearing a thicker sock so have stuck with it. I did go through a phase and tried sockless (hated it), on to the thin socks and again, hated it. So went back to what I knew and liked. Been thinking about getting some of those cut resistant ones because they would go above the short socks and I'd have some protection. Heat is a major concern though, so they may not last.

keeperton Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Always just worn regular white socks. Have considered wearing my old lacrosse under armour socks. Those Swiftwick socks look pretty nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I use my Marine Corps issued boot socks. Before that I just used regular calf length white socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Revisiting this. Got new skates, not sure how well the liner will hold up to my "military grade" boot socks(jokingly) as it is already showing some abrasion wear and I haven't even gotten them on the ice yet, just wearing around the house to help break them in. What are some of today's popular compression skate socks? Doesn't have to be cut proof but I would prefer to try some form of compression sock. Calf height is a plus but knee is ok too I guess as I am seeing that is what most tend to be. Looking on Goalie Monkey they have the socks that @Chenner29 mentioned earlier in this thread, which I like because they're the 37.5 material that everyone raves about. They're on clearance for nice and cheap but unfortunately they are only small and extra small sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreadlocked1 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 This is what i've been using the past several years and have been happy with them. Not too thin or thick. Took a while to settle on these after trying other brands/styles. In a large, at 5'6 I can get these over the calf to the bottom of my knee. Sealed in with my gforms. https://www.goaliemonkey.com/catalog/product/view/id/391110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreadlocked1 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 This is over 4 to 6 years ago, but a much thinner, and a thicker, Bauer socks as well as a Under Armour and your basic calf-high white socks. Total over the last 11 years. These Bauers have lasted a long time over the past 4-6 years, I'm only on my 2nd or 3rd pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdUP Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I use the Elite brand socks as well. The foot on them is a little on the thicker side to be honest, but I like having the cut resistant part covering my entire calf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that I like a thicker sock since it also takes up more room in the skate to get a nice, snug feel. I don't rely on a sock to make my skates fit, but it has had that extra benefit for me. Haven't used a thin sock in years due to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Goalie Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The “knee strap” accessory on 137 is interesting. Integrates knee pads with the jock. This is something I’ve done for a while with homemade straps so neat to see it as a retail option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
