Baseball Stirrup Socks

Baseball stirrup socks are the colorful stockings players wear over their white "sanitary" socks. The stirrups get their name from their cut out toes and heels, leaving only a thin band to stretch under the arches.

This style is both comfortable, and for the traditionalist, aesthetic. Read about the history of the stirrup sock. The stirrup is practically extinct at the major league level, though players and teams at the collegiate, high-school and little league still often use them. It seems at those levels players still want to dress for the game, whereas the likes of Manny Ramirez and Prince Fielder like to dress for a pajama party.

We support UniWatch in its campaign to revive the stirrup in MLB.
