Sock garters or sock suspenders?

yes, my father wear them a lot, I have tried them before butthey seem a bit uncomfortable, and no one can see them so what's the point.

i believe the "official" name is sock garters. of course now that the amazing invention of socks that stay up on their own has swept the world, sock garters are out of style and truthfully no longer necessary. never understood how guys could stand to wear those, it would drive me crazy having that band around the middle of my calves lol!
