~Socks

Socks are a knitted or woven type of hosiery for
enclosing the human feet. Socks are designed to:

• ease chafing between the foot and footwear
• protect footwear by absorbing perspiration
  and dead skin lost from the foot
• keep the feet warm
• soak up sweat, from the foot if sweaty

Sock is also the term given to the layer of leather or
other material covering the insole of a shoe.
When only part of the insole is covered, leaving the
forepart visible, this is known as a half-sock.
The foot is among the heaviest producers of sweat
in the body, able to produce over a pint of perspiration
per day. Socks help to absorb this sweat and draw it to
areas where air can evaporate the perspiration.
In cold environments, socks decrease the risk of frostbite.
Its name may have originated by the shoes worn by
Roman comic actors called soccus in Latin.
It was a slipper and fitted loosely so it could be taken off quickly.

Socks have evolved over the centuries from the earliest
models which were made from animal skins gathered up
and tied around the ankles. In the 8th century BC,
the Ancient Greeks wore socks from matted animal hair
for warmth. The Romans also wrapped their feet with
leather or woven fabrics. By the 5th century AD, socks
called ‘puttees’ were worn by holy people in Europe
to symbolise purity. By 1,000 AD, socks became a symbol
of wealth among the nobility. From the 16th century
onwards, an ornamental design on the ankle or side
of a sock has been called a clock.

The invention of a knitting machine in 1589 meant that
socks could be knitted six times faster than by hand.
Nonetheless, knitting machines and hand knitters
worked side by side until 1800.

The next revolution in sock production was the introduction
of nylon in 1938. Until then socks were commonly
made from silk, cotton and wool. Nylon was the start
of blending two or more yarns in the production of
socks, a process that still continues.
