Continuing with my earlier musing about the height of pom-pom sock popularity, it seems they may have directly preceded the rise of the tube sock. Robin writes:
I had every color of pom pom sock in the 70's - I wore them until the tube sock made it's appearance (Arnold T. was the first guy at my school to wear them) and I had to jump on that bandwagon. Also the shoes that came out around this time had a high lip in the back, making wearing the pom pom's quite difficult and sometimes painful!
Yes, though I was quite young at the time, I remember those high-lipped sneakers of the '70s. It's almost like the sneaker manufacturers were in collusion with tube sock purveyors to kill off the pom-poms.
