As a (former) backspot I would hate for my flyer to be wearing high socks.

I actually have a better grip on my flyer with the socks on. When we stunt without the socks we always get sweaty and I can't grip her ankle as tight because I'm slipping everywhere. My flyer feels safer with them.

I think it depends on the fabric of the sock. I had a flyer who would always wear different socks, and some were rougher, easier to grip, and helped with sweaty hands, and others were really soft or smooth and it would be so hard to get a grip she would have to take them off.

She always wears Nike dry-fit socks, and we wear the white dry-fit ones to compete. So it's always the same material.. I've never tried on any other brand of socks. She did wear VS leggings to a practice, and that was awful. But Nike dri-fit always works for us. :)
 
My flyer wears the dry fit socks to practice a lot, because she wears them under her ankle brace so most of the time she just wears them on both feet. I don't like then because they slide up and down and I feel like I don't have control. Luckily her brace is on her right foot so that's what I'm holding most of the time, but when we have 2 leg stunts it's rather annoying. Especially our pyramid that we're the middle for and go up and down a lot

I just really hate the shorts trend and I wish it would die. I've seen very few shorts done right, and they aren't super flattering. Also, they're always an awkward length... Either WAY too short or too long. I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them (and I know I'm not the only one) Okay rant over.
