Business or sneakers – which shoe has the wrong sock on?

For suit & shirt: thin enough to disappear

Business socks are therefore deliberately cut thin - thin enough to disappear under pants and medium-high enough that When sitting, no naked strip is visible between the trouser hem and the shoe.

For sneakers and everyday life: padded where the sneaker pinches

With sneakers the case is the other way around: here you need exactly the heel and Bunion padding because sneakers fit tighter and cause more friction when walking is created as a leather shoe. A thin business sock won't stand up to it - it slips in the shoe instead of cushioning.
