Skate socks that survive the session
Skating eats socks. Thin shoes, hard landings, griptape, and hours of pushing mean a cheap pair is done in a month. These are the Venture designs we'd actually skate in: retro skate graphics, skeleton chaos and old-school stripes, all built to take a beating.
Straight out of the '80s deck wall
Demon Days and Underworld pull directly from 1980s skateboard art: vibrant, edgy and loud in the way decks used to be. Ripper and Ripper Returns bring psychedelic skulls, and Rockstar is a mohawked skeleton shredding a guitar in a graveyard.
Surf, ride, repeat
- Wipeout: a skeleton surfer riding a wave of souls, printed cuff to toe.
- Hang Ten: for when the board has fins, not wheels.
- Easy Rider: flames at your feet and nothing but open road ahead.
- Menace: red and black warning stripes and a catapult in the back pocket. Playground troublemaker energy.
- Bad Taste and Middle Finger: for skaters who'd rather not be polite about it.
Old-school stripes
Tube socks with stripes have been part of skating for as long as there's been skating. Our classics keep it clean: Varsity White, Stone Grey / White, Lemon / Teal and Mets Navy / Orange. Crisp stripes and a cushioned sole make them a pair you can wear every day.
What makes a good skate sock?
Three things: a snug fit that won't bunch inside skate shoes, reinforcement where the wear happens, and enough height to save your ankles and shins from the board. Every pair here has a reinforced heel and toe, a soft terry sole and a ribbed body that holds its shape. They're a stretchy polyester and spandex blend, machine washable at 40°C.
Sizes: S/M fits UK 3–7 and M/L fits UK 8–12.
Not just a skate brand, and never pretending to be. Venture is for anyone chasing everyday adventure, whether that's a board, a wave or the walk home. Want the loudest graphics we make? Head to Expressive & Bold.
Skate Socks: FAQs
What are the best socks for skateboarding?
A crew sock with a snug fit, a reinforced heel and toe, and a cushioned sole. It won't bunch in skate shoes and it covers your ankles and shins when the board flips up. All of our skate socks are built that way.
Why do skaters wear high socks?
Protection and style. A taller sock takes the hit when the board catches your shins or ankles, and striped tube socks have been part of skate style since the early days.
Are these socks durable enough for skating?
Yes. Every pair has a reinforced heel and toe, a ribbed body that holds its shape and a soft terry sole. Wash at 40°C or below and skip the tumble dryer to keep them going.
What size skate socks should I get?
S/M fits UK shoe sizes 3–7 and M/L fits UK 8–12.
Is Venture a skate brand?
Venture is about creative energy and everyday adventure, and that includes skating, surfing, riding, tattoos, music and the gym. This collection is our pick of the designs that belong at the skatepark.
