‘Old School Socks’ as in retro, not ‘old school socks’ as in your brothers’ and sisters’ smelly hand-me-downs, these Thorlos Old School Over the Calf Sports Socks are a quality, perfected take on the typical sports-striped ribbed leg sock that everyone recognises. These Thorlos Old School socks are a step beyond though, knitted from soft, efficient THOR•LON® fibres for a better function and feel that is lightyears from cheap tube socks. These long leg socks are moderately cushioned — not too thick, nor too thin — in the foot to be as versatile as possible. Better, smooth toe seams are used to prevent rubbing and blisters. And of course, those stripes, though not important for function, are big, bold and give the socks their distinct sporty looks.
