Variety of Socks

Winter (Thermal
These are meant to give additional thermal insulation in cold weather these socks will be made of thick wool/acrylic fibers and they may also have extra padding to ward off cold.

Yoga
These yoga socks will have small dots on the heel area which gives it an anti skid property – you do not want to skid and fall as you do yoga. They are usually ankle length, with or without toe separation.

Toe-Less
This socks look like any other socks with a formed heel but will have an open space at the top with no covering for the toes. Toe less socks are usually used for movement involving wearing no shoes – like yoga and dance.

Boot
These are mid calf high socks meant to be seen well above the high top edge of boots. These are usually made of fabric thick and sturdy enough to protect the leg inside the boots.

Loafer
These are short socks which cannot be seen outside once you wear a loafer. These are for those who want to wear socks without it being obvious from the outside.

Leg warmer
These are socks without feet – they start at the ankles and go up to the knees and will be made of thick woolen/acrylic fibers meant to give warmth. They are usually worn over other socks for added warmth in winter or as a layering option.

Tab socks
These are sports socks with an additional tab of fabric on the back of the sock that prevents the shoe from rubbing against the back of your heel. This is a good option to prevent repetitive contact blisters.

Trouser
These are thigh high length socks meant to be worn under formal pants and skirts by women – it is usually made of very thin lightweight material.

Anklet
These are socks that end around the ankle bone covering the entire ankle area. They may rise above the shoe just slightly – these socks are used by runners inside their running shoes. They are also called booties.

Mid Calf
This is the general name given to socks that end midway between the ankle and the knee.

Crew Length
These are mid calf length socks with ribbing on the top edge.A crew length is said to be about 6 to 8 inches up from the heel.

Over the Knee
These socks are higher than the knee but not quite reaching the mid thigh.

Thigh High
Socks that end somewhere along the middle of the thigh or even higher up.

Split-toe (Tabi)
These socks (also called thumb socks) have a separate space for the main toe. They can be worn with slippers – I see this as the main advantage of split toe socks. Japanese socks called Tabi socks are these kind of socks – they are worn along with kimonos.

Toe
These socks have individual separations for each toe.
