    I didn't realise the gym was the place for fashion statements? Aren't we there to get sweaty? Who cares what colour socks people wear. You shouldn't be looking at other people anyway, focus on your own workout.

    me-ow!

    As a side note, I used to workout at LA Fitness and there used to be this little old man who looked like Popeye. We were in the locker room and I turned around and looked. Popeye, had a tramp stamp.

    Bob Harper from the Biggest Loser was wearing some in one of his workout DVDs I got this Christmas...and the first thing I said to myself...Is "what's up with his socks" His went all the up to the bottom of his knees...and he had long black shorts on......so if he did any of the workouts...could so see a little knee....it was kind of weird!!!

    Maybe, its just me but I will never wear black socks with my workout clothes. Something about it is just odd. Is it just me?

    lol, I would say it's just you. I only own black socks, the no-nonsense brand, so comfortable, crew socks. now I feel odd for the vivid description, haha

    Oh you are a trainer so you know exactly what I'm talking about right!
    See it everyday at the gym. And because I work at a Wellness Center, we have a higher population of seniors so I see the black high socks all day long!

    This is funny since most males that do it are older white men! And some keep on their black dress socks and just change their shoes!

    I see lots of bros at my gym anyway that do that....than they've got their knee braces on like their actually going to do cardio or MAYBE lift. Than they stand there and talk the whole time making fun of everyone actually working out.....
    ...but that really has nothing to do with sock color lol.
