The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiped over the socks. Another version adds: "On the back (upper part) of the socks."  

أبو داود:١٦١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ قَالَ ذَكَرَهُ أَبِي عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ وَقَالَ غَيْرُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْخُفَّيْنِ
