Are you freaking kidding me..

I guess I am not that up on the sock market, I buy mine 10 pairs in a bag for $10 at Kohl's. Maybe I should pick up some Dye socks and get an additional 3 eliminations each round :)

Interesting they call it "paintball" sock instead of an athletic sock. But yes, I've seen good socks sold for upward of $20, particularly the really nice hiking or boot socks. I usually like Dye gear, and I'd get a pair if I could find them local.

They know their market. The way i look at it is that they know that the only people who will be buying from them are paintballers because there are more well known brands for socks. aintballers who will buy them are more likely to buy specialized paintball socks than just another athletic sock. It does make a lot of sense.

that and the fact that little agglets love matching gear.

at every field ive been to there are always those kids who have their parents filling their pods, buying their paint, and cheering them on. And they always have either all PE gear on with an ego in their hand and a flex on their head, or they are wearing all DYE gear holding a dm and wearing an i4.

Its quite humorous because most of the time the start gate/deadbox is taller than them

Never seen that specifically, but i have seen kids in all matching gear, either blue or red or something to play woodsball, and the only gun they have is a tippmann, or no gun at all.

Maybe they can get Ollie to model them Red-Hot Chillie Pepper's style, for the marketing blitz. Then they would only need one sock per buyer.

does it double as a barrel sock?

Socks!

I'm a big fan of socks. Back in the day when I was just starting buy my own clothes I would pick up the 10 for 10 deals not anymore. Invest in a quality pair of socks and you'll be amazed of the feel and how long they last. UA socks all the way. I wouldn't mind trying the Dye socks.

[Hexis]

Agreed, those are cheaper than my everyday socks. Feet deserved to be pampered a bit, they get trampled on all day.

You had me right there man.

I guess I have discovered from this thread that there is something huge out there I am missing by not wearing these awesome socks since multiple people have told me $10 is cheap for a good pair of socks.

So, I will put it to the test and when I order a replacement lens for my Invision mask, I will order some dye socks and report on how they are.

Stay tuned for the stunning conclusion to this story!

My socks cost more than ten dollars.

One should spend decent coin on essentials.

/don't get me started on the midgets...

I do for one. But I also wear boots so ankle-socks are kind of uncomfortable. Longer socks also help with leg circulation so those long days of running over hills and trees don't fatigue your legs quite so much.
