Why do men wear over-the-knee socks?

Answer by  hedgielady (126)

Younger men may wear these socks for certain sports (for example, football, known as soccer in the US) to protect their legs. Older men may wear socks that help with certain medical problems. Shop in any sock department, and you'll probably see medical compression socks somewhere in there.

Men are sometimes self-conscious about the hair or lack of hair on their ankles and legs so over the knee socks are a good way to hide these features. In the winter over-the-knee socks also provide warmth from cold weather.
