suorasuka

Suorasuka is a Finnish term that translates literally to "straight sock." It refers to a type of sock that is designed without any specific shaping for the heel or ankle. Unlike traditional socks which have a distinct heel cup and sometimes a ribbed cuff, suorasuka are essentially a tube. This tubular construction means the sock can be worn on either foot and is often folded over at the top to stay in place. The lack of intricate construction makes them simpler to manufacture and often more affordable. They are commonly found in basic athletic socks or as liner socks. Due to their straightforward design, suorasuka may not offer the same level of snug fit or support as anatomically shaped socks, and can sometimes bunch up or slip down during wear. Their versatility and ease of production have contributed to their enduring presence in sock markets.
