Socks
At Regionals, I noticed the girls of CrossFit have a particular style. Along with their short shorts, several female competitors wear knee high socks. I really thought it was just some kind of fashion statement or something, girls being girls, like me putting pink laces in my lifting shoes. After attending my 3rd competition my legs are covered in scratches and bruises from scraping weightlifting bars and kettle bells against my shins and climbing the ropes at the gym. I now realize the socks, however bold, may have more practical purposes. Probably more of a fashion risk than a statement but I went ahead and finally bought myself these three pairs. I hope they help!
