Difference between crew socks and tube socks?

[JEDI]

At my local warmart, they have 2 types of socks: crew and tube.

whats the difference and which is better?

Tubes are the socks without heels...

Dunno about crew

 

[josphII]

tube socks are usually longer than crew socks and dont have a left and right sock. crew socks are typically shorter and each pair of socks has a left sock and right sock. the difference is something along those lines. most people prefer crew socks, I prefer ankle socks

I have never seen socks with a 'left' and a 'right'.
You must shop in places that are waaaaay too expensive for me!

Left and right sock?!

you can tell a left/right sock from the slant of the toe seam.

Only if you buy used socks.

Ooooooh...below the belt. But yes, tube socks basically look like a big condom without a right or left designation. Crew socks have a left/right pair.

I have never seen left/right socks. Tube socks are straight. Crew socks are shaped like a foot. They have a heel formed into them.
