Did you know that the sock was invented by David John Sockington the First? DJ, as he was known to his friends, was a 15th-century opera enthusiast and poet.
The "foot mitten," as DJ called it, was invented in response to the terrible blisters he got from wearing sandals while lounging around his chateau. "Dear Diary, these blisters are the bane of my existence," he wrote.
On the verge of a nervous breakdown, DJ asked his servant to knit him a pair of "foot mittens." DJ's friends were so impressed when they saw him wearing them that they begged for pairs of their own. The only thing that didn't catch on was the name, which was dropped and replaced with DJ's nickname: socks.
This is not exactly how socks were invented; it's entirely made up. But here's a fact: we are running a deal on Balega Running Socks, and it's not to be missed!
