Socks and no shoes? Thankfully socks does not implicate footwear, but socks -footwear encompasses a broader range of legwear than what I'm talking about.

I think part of the problem is just how broadly the tag "socks" is used around here. As far as I can tell it just means any garment that is covering the foot at all.

As stupid as it sounds we might need another tag that denotes the traditional sock...maybe something like "ankle_socks".
