I overheard a Young Marines DI tell the recruits "No half socks!! They are for girls!"

Am I showing my estrogen for wearing them when I ride????

William - Men's cycling socks should have a 3" cuff minimum. For someone of your stature, I would suggest a 4-5" minimum.

Only the longest, finest tube socks for me. If its not touching the bottom of my knee, its too short.

Except with dress slacks, anything over the ankle is only for losers!

Anyone taking fashion advice from a USMC drill instructor ought to have his head examined.
