    I wear socks with my vibrams- keep the stench at bay.

    I don't wear them training. The bar rarely touches my shins. However, we have to wear them on the platform. I stick to plain black. I used to wear fun styles but, as with a lot of things, some people jumped the shark with it made it look foolish.

    I've recently had to turn down socks with capes and other attachments at equipment check.

    Injinji makes athletic toe shoes.
    I've got 4 pairs in ankle height and 1 pair of knee shoes.

    Please explain to a non-lifter why deadlift socks are a thing? Is it because of the compression? Everyone's socks are lovely I just want to know why.

    It's easy to scrape and bruise your legs with the bar because you have to pull it against yourself as it comes up. The socks help protect your shins, and also look cool.

    Maybe because I wear capri leggings, I've never had this problem, but I may have to start wearing shorts as an excuse to wear cool socks.

    I'm not a heavy lifter (some day.. sighhh), aside from a few at-homes sessions of Stronglifts..

    But I think I would wear those socks everywhere I went! haha

    I only wear them when competing (required) as I train with capri or long pants - mine are these:

    They have NERD down the sides in pink.
