The same things they are still made of (socks rarely use elastic in their construction). Wool and cotton are the major textiles used, and silk was sometimes used by the rich.

How did boys keep their socks up before elastic was invented?

Before the invention of elastic, boys kept their socks up using garters or sock suspenders, which were straps that fastened around the leg and held the socks in place. These garters were typically made of fabric or leather and were tied or clipped to the socks. Additionally, some boys wore knee-length socks that were designed to stay up better due to their fit. Overall, these methods relied on manual adjustments rather than the stretchable materials we use today.

Why socks cause indentations?

Socks can cause indentations in the skin due to the pressure they exert on the underlying tissues, particularly if they are tight or made of elastic materials. When the elastic fibers compress the skin, they temporarily restrict blood flow and create a mark that can persist for a short time after the socks are removed. Additionally, the indentation may be more pronounced in areas where the fabric is thicker or has more elastic material. These indentations are generally harmless and resolve quickly once the pressure is relieved.
