I did a few pages back....page 10. And Drewhunz has some pictures comparing them to EDGE & Regular socks as well.

Thanks man, wow those things look tight as hell, how do you get them over your shinpads, lol

Just around the ankle. The knee is tight.

I called today because there ad said they had swift socks. Anyone who sees that, save yourself the time, they dont have them. But while they are out of swift socks still, they do have the Canada and USA Pro socks for 14.99. The Canada ones have the Canada logo on the front of the sock, pretty cool. Would have gotten them if they had USA logos on the front (Im not Canadien)

Yes, they are traditional mesh socks.

I like the Team Canada socks with the logo. They would work with the Team Canada Vapor XXXX gloves I've got. Oh no, I think I am becoming a gear whore for hockey socks. This is totally messed up!

I hate that I know there's a pair of Vapor XXXX team Canada gloves so close to me right now. Damn you and your connections!

I like the Swift socks, but I'm too short for them. There's about 1/2 inch of sock hanging down below my pads and the knees aren't lined up. They look cool though. Still skate like a broken zamboni though.

My connection was ebay. I was lucky enough to get the pair for the least amount of $ of all the ones at auction! Let me know when you head over. I'll have them for you to check out. They came complete with Pyett's sweaty smell!

Some comments from guys I play with so far:

"Are those are really European"

"Did they come with a man purse?"

"What the hell are those"

Haha. I get the same reactions when I wear mine.

"Wow, those are damn ugly!"

Haha.

Customer Service screwed me over.

I called today, they told me they mailed 2 weeks ago, found out today that did have any sent to me and they were all sold out...

Anybody interested in selling

[TBLfan 25]

yeah, they dont have any more and cant get any more. I was given a refund(on CC) and without asking was offered a "free shipping credit" for my patience and their mistake.

It sucks but honestly, I feel like they delt with it well. I can say that being that I got two pairs of socks and was still able to uphold my promise to sven(who should get his from sr27 on Friday btw). The situation was really out of their control but they knew that there was an issue and they tried to help out. They were always completely honest and I was given the same story from both Rob and the girl I spoke with. If I need something else from them, I wouldn't hesitate ordering from them... I can't say that with 2 other popular online retailers.

I AM going to have to assume that there will be some on ebay soon as well as let those members know that pro stock XL/L edge socks have been up on ebay recently.

Ebay search for "edge socks"...very disappointing:

They just sold off, I had bid on them and didnt want to bump them before it closed. It appears that he has plenty more as one that went unsold was a lot of 10. They should be back up. BIN for 2 pair was like $65. Single pairs had no BIN and no reserve. They ended at around $30 each... roughly the same as the edge socks will be at in May.

BTW, I wouldn't mind a pair if someone had a pair they could let go. ;)

Some guys I skate with have been referring to mine as "thong" stripes.

[McDougalfaschnitzer 32]

Mine haven't really been noticed since they are a solid color. The ones who do usually ask me if they are edge socks.

That ebay search is kind of disapointing Radio, They handled it well I guess but know Free Shipping Credit as TBLfan said he got

Not sure if anyone interested, but I have 2 pairs of used buut in good condition, Sz L, RBK Edge socks from Portland Pirates. One pair of black/wht/red and one pair of wht/red/black... I would keep them if I could, but size L is a bit big for me. I got it from a guy who knows people in Portland and paid $20 each pair. I might just put them on ebay if I don't get any offers. If you guys want to see pics, lmk. Thanks.

I thought this was a good way for me to try them before they go onsale to the public. I've usewd the blk ones for 1 game and even though they don't fit me well, I must say I'm pretty impressed with the socks. Very very light and super breathable. Just wish they would fit tight for me, a pair of mediums would probably do for me.

Here are the pics of the Edge Socks

[McDougalfaschnitzer 32]

Coldclay, what type of shin pads do you have, and what size are they?

[Coldclay 53]

I wear Tacks 852 (older stuff I know) 13"... I love the way the 852's fit (I rigged them so I can just slide my foot in and the Tacks don't move at all... I never even have to use tape for my shin guards) but they're a little short for me and wish I could find 14" 852's... The Edge socks L work ok for me, but since they're too big, they don't wrap around my legs very tight. I need a pair of mediums...
