Title: Striped Socks
Post by: busman on December 29, 2010, 03:15:12 PM
Who makes the best sock for big legged officials?  I have huge calves and the normal socks, even in the big sizes, do not pull up properly.  (This has been a problem for 30+ years and I have yet to find a decent solution.)  Sure wish Addidas made a pair like their adult soccer socks.  They fit well!

But I do know what you mean. I stretch mine out so badly they only last one season. I have found one pair ( brand is not on it) but it is longer and goes up on the knee. This seems to hold better than the others.

My problem is with the sock not going to the knee as well (i am 6'5") with a size 15 shoe.

Anyone know a big sock supplier?

For the past few years I have purchased my socks through The Referee's Call in OKC (http://www.refereescall.com/proddetail.php?prod=FB41). The manufacture is Twin City. I have big feet and big calves as well. The size 13+ work great. They are $6.95 a pair but if you buy 5 pair at a time they are $6.00. On top of that the guys that work there are outstanding always trying to help. All other equipment I have purchased through them has been top quality as well.  ^good

Get the tube sock, the size specific are tighter.
