tube sock
Elastic athletic footwear
A tube sock is a sock without a shaped heel, forming a simple cylinder that fits either foot.
The stretchy knit conforms to the foot when worn.
Tube socks typically extend to mid-calf and often feature striped bands near the top.
They were especially popular in American athletic wear from the 1970s through the 1990s.
