We wear the stirrups up here in Canada. There was talk about a product being developed that is the one-piece stirrup.

Still wearing my stirrups here in the UK.

The downside is getting stick from the other guys about being a dinosaur. I don't care, I've had them for over 20 years, they still look as good as the day I bought them and no sign of them wearing out yet

My feet are comfortable in my choice of white tube socks - thin ones in summer, thick ones in winter.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I've just found something that does a great job of getting stains out. The product is called Soilove and retails in CA for about a $1 a bottle. I pretreat stains on my knickers and my socks with it and let them soak for about 15 minutes, I then wash them with detergent and Oxyclean. They come out spotless and it doesn't harm colors.

It looks like you might not be able to find it in Wisconsin but you can order a case of it online. I highly recommend it.

I have a problem with the black fading on the socks when the water temperature is set at 140 degrees. It leaves a kind of gray stripe onthe upper part of the sock.

The best I have found for washing the socks is 105 degrees with OxyClean.

This is a great product for stain removal. I started ordering it direct when my oldest was about a year old and started making all kinds of messes with all kinds of sources.

It does work great on whites.
