Tennis socks, mmy mom used to call them. I remember them well from the 1970s, and I miss them. Those little pompoms had a purpose; they acte as anchors so the footies didn't slide down into your shoe! I wear footie socks all summer, and am always pulling them out of my sneakers.
Definitely a 70's thing, and on into the 80's. I started playing tennis after watching Chris Evert play in the 70's and I was rocking the little pom pom socks every time!

80s. At least in Canada, but as been noted elsewhere, Canada doesn't always get trends in the same decade as the US.

My kids have those now. Got them at The Children's Place 2 or 3 years ago. They had a variety of colors for the edge and the pom-pom.
