Womens Crew Socks

Women’s Crew Socks

Crew socks have a really fascinating history. This length of sock, which hits your mid-calf, was first used by the United States Navy in WWII. A naval service member was responsible for ordering standard length socks for his crew, which became available to public manufacturers after the war. 

Interestingly, as the crew sock was born in the military, women found their place in working society in a way that would forever change history: with their husbands and brothers on the Western Front, women took up work in factories, as fire and evacuation officers, conductors, and nurses. After the war, they were pressured to return to homemaking, and millions of women across North America fought to remain in the workplace. And so, the time in which the crew sock was invented, was also a time of remarkable progress for women.

Groundbreaking feminism aside, crew socks are incredibly versatile and one of the most popular lengths of sock. They’re a great choice in the cooler months, keeping your legs much warmer compared to shorter socks. Most of the time, you’ll find women’s crew socks in casual and athletic types, each offering their own advantages. 

Women’s Crew Socks For Casual Occasions 

A pair of casual crew socks can look seriously stylish. Women’s crew socks with top stripes and sneakers creates a fun and sporty vibe. You can wear them under a pair of ankle boots so a playful bit of sock is showing. Or you can wear them around the house, when you’re out running errands—crew socks work with a lot of casual outfits. Looks aside, crew socks protect your feet from blisters and chafing by completely covering your heel. This is especially true with taller boots, which can cause uncomfortable friction around the leg.

Athletes Love Women’s Crew Socks

Athletic crew socks are worn by women everywhere to enhance physical performance. Cross country runners and hikers wear them to shield their legs from the elements. Weightlifters choose crew socks to protect their legs against nicks and scrapes from the weights. Athletic socks have built-in moisture-wicking capabilities to help keep your feet dry. Because of their length, athletic crew socks have more moisture-absorbing surface area, so they soak up more sweaty compared to shorter socks.
