National Sock Day!

National Sock Day!

It's here! National...sock..day? You betcha'! Started in 2016 by the sock based website 'pair of thieves', it was met with a great deal of excitement, at least by sock connoisseurs around the country. To celebrate this momentous occasion, lets take a look back at some of the key points in sock history. Before about the 2nd century A.D. most people used either woven animal hair or leather/cloth wraps in order to protect their feet, if they wore anything at all. Sandals and soft fur linings known as "piloi, were the most used methods of wicking away moisture from the feet. At...

Many of them seemed kind of forced, and as I read backwards through their older posts, I saw that they had once been extremely detailed and well thought out, and the bloggers seemed to...

3 mistakes you're making with your sock drawer

3 mistakes you're making with your sock drawer

        Having been converted to a crazy sock believer over the past year or so, Id like to share some insights I've had. For starters, before I met my wife and became embroiled in the sock life, socks had always been a means to an end for me and my, some would say, lacking wardrobe. They were simply there to protect my feet, and prevent blisters or lacerations caused by my aged new balance. The only variation to my day to day bland, white gym socks, were a couple pairs of bland, argyle "sunday socks." When I...
