As a young skater, I kept asking my coach to re-tie my skates. My socks never felt right in my boots. The thick seam across my toes was all I could think about.

I wanted a thin sock with no toe seam, and I couldn’t find one. So I skated barefoot or in thick cotton socks, and neither worked.

So I made my own.

I started C.B. Alexandra so I could focus on my skating instead of my socks. Now I want to help other skaters do the same: train at their best, without being held back by poorly designed socks.
