Why do roller skaters ALWAYS wear socks like this? Do they have a practical purpose or is it a fashion thing? Either way, why is it required to wear them? Is it just because it's a tradition and people like them so any excuse is a good excuse to wear those silly looking socks?

It protects the leg if you fall, stabilizes the ankle and is kinda cute

haven't girls traditionally always worn high socks when training/working out?

That's because when you deadlift you scrape against your fronts if you wear shorts.

Well yes but not anymore I think? It seems like it's an exclusive roller skating thing that remained.

Has no one in this thread been roller skating?
It's because if you wear short socks, the skates will dig into your skin and blister/irritate the skin if you're skating for a while (which you usually do, if you're bothering to put them on)
