Sock weight and height Class C?

• A. Socks should be at least the weight of athletic socks to provide cushioning, and must extend above boot top by 4-6 inches.
• B. Socks must be wool and reach the knee.
• C. Socks weight is not specified, but must conceal the ankle.
• D. Socks must be cotton and extend to the ankle.

Answer: (C)

In Class C, the emphasis is on how the sock looks with the uniform rather than on a specific fabric or weight. There is no required weight for the socks; what matters is that the socks conceal the ankle, meaning they extend high enough to cover the ankle area so skin isn’t visible when wearing the boots and pants. This keeps the uniform looking neat and consistent.

Other options push for particular materials or exact lengths (heavier athletic socks, wool knee socks, cotton ankle socks). Those specifics aren’t mandated for Class C, which is why they don’t fit. The key standard is concealment of the ankle, not the fabric type or a strict length.
