Best Shooting socks

Most Interesting Man 2.jpg
 
So here's a hypothetical question... If these socks were worn in the ever popular "feet in rifle picture" so much seen and derided in the classifieds, would the poster: A) Still be derided, B) Not derided due to sock mitigation, or C) Command a higher price due to their known bespoke tastes?

Lol...definitely "C" in my book :ROFLMAO:
 
You simply don’t hang around the “right” sort of people. :whistle: There are shoots in the UK where you will be expected to show up in the proper attire. Breeks are British knee-length shooting trousers for which these “socks” are designed. The folks that can afford a few days shooting braces of driven grouse with a matched pair of Boss game guns have no problem with this trifling expenditure. :(

So is that better than pants, or just different?

Even Canadians aren't working on this look. That said, we have a fund raising clays shoot every year at Christmas for a couple of schools for at risk kids in San Antonio and near Baltimore. One has to shoot a 20 bore or smaller (most shoot a .410) and we have to wear British or Teutonic drag. I opt for the German option. You should see my leather bund hosen and loden shooting jacket. At least the Germans don't do the tassels.

Don't go near Kalifornia with language such as that. It's a felony to refer to AT RISK kids as AT RISK kids. They are now to be referred to as AT PROMISE kids. And don't forget to hide your plastic straws and cups.
 
That is honestly really cool! Must be a fun time.

I am not sure I can judge as I wear this to work:

My advice is to get wool. My first set was a polyester blend, and they were just too hot. :)

That’s why you carry your Von Gruff knife on your belt, so you can cut your way out of the tangled mess! Maybe even save the tassels?

I imagine the bagpipes didn't add to the stealth portion of their surprise attack.

Guess that’s why it was their “first/last” covert mission? Should have stuffed their socks into the bagpipes to silence them!
 
Shooting socks? Really?

Which end does to boolit come out of?
 
Papabear55 should have been wearing one of these socks over his bare foot in the photo of his rifle for sale here on AH! The rifle would have sold by now!
 
Actually, I recall a recruit saying that his grandfather gave him a pair of "shooting socks". They had extra thick knitting around the ankles to ease the pain of getting into the kneeling position- the variation where the shooter sits on the side of his foot. Not a very natural way of kneeling, but I guess the socks took some of the strain off of the ankle. so I suppose that there are such things as shooting socks- they just don't resemble what's pictured here.
