Know why they don’t use ankle socks with combat boots? Because your ankles will look more like chewed leather than the boots after being broken in. I used to have to double up tube socks when breaking in a new pair and still have scars on the back of my ankles.
Dress uniforms have a different pair of socks that aren’t nearly as tall as tube socks, nor is there a reason to waste time on making standard issue “ankle dress socks” when someone could just buy their own

Probably the PT uniform, although why anyone would buy issue socks after boot camp is a mystery.
