I’ve always thought that socks were a funny thing. They’ve always seemed pointless to me except for in a fashion way. I read the page about socks on the Wikipedia and all I can guess is that socks are useful for absorbing sweat. Can anybody tell me the history of socks?

Socks allow moms and wives ammuno to gripe about where you left them. Same as underwear.
But don’t ever try to use underwear as socks.
I’ve worn a couple of shoes without socks one time; both leather and running type. This was when I was working in a remote part of Costa Rica. The sweat just eats up the shoes. The odor was horrible. After my final 3rd month their; the last week I got athletes foot. The bottoms of the soles itched and burning was felt. I ended up purchasing a pair of sneakers for the flight home. I was going to buy sandals ; but my feet were peeling and that didn’t look good.
Extremities such as hands, feet and the tops of our heads, tend to lose the most heat and chill first, so we protect them with thermal layers such as socks, mitts, and hats. The reason for this is our body concentrates thermal energy on our core to protect vital organs, deaming extremities less important and in need of that heat.

Socks keep you from getting blisters and friction burns, they also absorb your sweat, which is why you should change them every day and wash them often!!!
