We note bioys wearing sandals with a variety of hosiery. We note boys wearing both knee socks and ankle socks. And during the summer, children at some schools did not wear hosiery with sandals. Knee socks seem to have been the most common hosiery worn with sandals. We note both plain grey knee socks abd school socks with colored bands in the school colors. This varied widely from school to school. Schools tended to have stricter rules about hosiery than footwear. The otther options, both ankle socks and no hoisiery, seem more of a seasonal option. Ankle socks for boys were normally plain grey socks, but we note some done with the colored bands nore common for knee socks. Girls often wire white socks rather than grey socks with sandals. Girls might wear sandals with tights. An English reader writes, "I've noticed a lot of images on HBC-SU which show boys wearing sansals with long socks (HBC calls them knee socks). I have noted a lot of schools where the children wore sandals with ankle socks. Here is a photograph of the sandals and school ankle socks my son wears."
