Meet the world’s first “all-season socks” designed to be worn on any terrain or in any weather

Who knew socks could be state-of-the-art? Not me…

Designed for people with both literal and metaphorical cold feet, the HercSocks 5.0 push you beyond limits. Unlike your regular socks that only serve as a barrier between your feet and your shoes, HercSocks were engineered to be used in any weather, on any terrain, and keep you dry and breezy throughout. The socks come with a breathable design that wicks moisture from your feet (it actually uses hollow yarn to absorb sweat), while still somehow being waterproof, so you could step into a puddle or jump into a pool and your feet would still be dry. Made to stand by you through treks and lounge with you as you chill in bed, the HercSocks are also anti-odor and anti-microbial, which means you don’t need to worry about washing them after a long day.

Socks are designed primarily to be worn in the winter, or with shoes, but the HercSocks 5.0 have no such limitations. Labeled as the world’s first (and only) all-weather all-terrain socks, these foot-huggers can be worn anywhere and at any time. Whether you’re trekking through mud and soil, jogging on a tarmac, working out at the gym, lounging by the poolside, or just chilling at home, the HercSocks are your foot’s best friend. The socks keep your feet dry and promote breathability, while repelling water and killing odors and microbes that cause your socks to feel stale and your skin to break out into rashes.

The HercSocks 5.0 come from HercLéon America, a Minneapolis-based fashion brand with a focus on creating gear and garments for those who travel, backed by cutting-edge fabric technology. They have quite the ‘laundry list’ of features if I might say so myself, more so than any regular cotton or polyester sock in your wardrobe. The HercSocks 5.0 are made from a stretchy, comfortable, vegan-friendly fabric that has the unique ability to regulate humidity by wicking moisture out of the socks, keeping you dry at all times. This feature is made possible by the innovative yarn used by the socks. Unlike any other yarn, these are designed to be hollow like pipes, allowing them to ‘fill up’ with water that then gets wicked outwards into the air.

The socks are made to be absorbent, but only from the inside. The fabric’s unique weave is tight enough to allow moisture and water vapors to pass outwards, but doesn’t let water from the outside seep in. This unique waterproof ability means you could commit the cardinal sin of stepping into water with the socks on and still having your feet dry. There’s nothing quite as disgusting as a wet sock – and it’s impossible to get the HercSocks 5.0 wet. If by some miracle you even manage that feat, the HercSocks are quick-drying, going from soggy to dry in no time.

Available in three sizes.

The socks come in three styles – a Classic, a Summer 5.0, and the All Season 5.0 that you can wear all year round. You can get your HercSocks in Ankle, Quarter, or Calf sizes, although the socks only come in black and begin shipping in June 2023.

Gundam Narikiri RX-78 and Zaku Boxer Briefs and Socks: Roleplay You Say?

The never-ending post-apocalyptic nightmare has started to affect even the supply of gunpla. So what do you do if you can’t get your hands on a Gundam model? Be a Gundam model. Bandai Namco’s silly Narikiri (“roleplay”) line features boxer briefs and socks based on Amuro Ray’s RX-78 Gundam, Char’s MS-06S Zaku, and the mass production MS-06F Zaku from the first Mobile Suit Gundam show.

There are also matching tees for each design, but they’re not as funny as the boxer briefs or as awesome as the socks.

Head to Yoyakunow to protect your beam saber and feet. The boxer briefs cost about $43 (USD) each, while the socks go for about $25 per pair.

Burger Socks: Hold the Lettuce Between Your Toes

Hungry? How about a delicious, juicy cheeseburger? That sounds yummy to me. What if I told you somebody’s stinky feet had been touching your sandwich? You’d have second thoughts about cramming it into your mouth for sure. So while these cheeseburger socks are cute, they’re definitely not fit for consumption.

Rainbow Socks makes this this whimsical and colorful set of printed socks that look like a burger when folded up and stacked. In fact, you’re looking at a double cheeseburger, fully-loaded with two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Wait a second. That’s the Big Mac song. Actually, the burger socks come with tomatoes too, something McDonald’s wouldn’t try until the McDLT.

Of course, they come packaged in an appropriate burger style container too. You can grab two pairs of the burger socks over on Amazon for $19.99. Would you like fries with that?

Socks with arc-support technology are designed to enhance your athletic performance

If you’re asking yourself what exactly a performance enhancing sock is, think of the term Form Follows Function. Socks, for the longest time, have just simply followed the shape of the wearer’s foot, or Form Follows Form. Aside from absorbing sweat and not dirtying the inside of your shoes, socks didn’t play much of a role in their function, but Daniel Kang, the designer of REXY believes they play a vital role in protecting and empowering your feet, easily the most overworked part of your body.

They say the average human walks at least 10,000 steps a day, which means by the age of 20, you’ve probably walked enough to cover the circumference of the earth, and that sort of activity surely deserves more than just a piece of cotton and spandex covering your feet. Kang designed the REXY socks to be a functional piece of equipment, rather than basic fashion. Every aspect of the REXY was designed to assist and comfort your feet, helping it help you walk, while also wicking perspiration and relieving foot fatigue from a long and active day.

The highlight of REXY’s design is its arch support pad, that sits in the archway of your feet, between the toe-ball and the heel. The arch is a natural shock-absorber, and tends to flatten out over the course of the day, causing foot-aches. REXY’s arch-supporting pad keeps your foot’s arch cushioned through the day, improving both balance and mobility while reducing the fatigue you feel at the end of the day. An additional cushion zone sits right above the heel, hugging the back of your foot to provide support, cushioning, and relief by compression.

The REXY is a great example of rebuilding a product from the ground up. Unlike conventional socks made from either cotton, nylon, spandex, or wool, REXY employs a specially formulated Aqua-X fabric that’s designed to wick away moisture up to 30% faster than polyester, and stay cool and dry, preventing discomfort and the odor caused by bacterial growth. The fabric is even stitched together using a unique weave called Airwave, designed for maximum breathability, making the socks feel cooler than conventional cotton socks. When all is said and done, REXY channels its ability to do more with design details and material science, to provide a sock that cushions your feet, while empowering them to walk, run, or jump more, without feeling the burn. The socks additionally even have four-way anti-slip silicone pads at their base, so they keep your foot stable inside your shoe, reducing any inner movement that may affect your performance.

It’s pretty amazing to see that socks can be designed to be as empowering and functional as your shoes are. Made to work universally across various foot-types, the REXY gives you a serious competitive edge when you’re training or playing a sport, relieves foot aches if you’re the kind to walk a lot or stand through the day, and even keeps your feet dry, healthy, and odor-free for longer periods of time… and it’s honestly pretty remarkable that the humble sock can do all that.

Beam these Captain Kirk crew socks onto your feet today. Your sock drawer needs a tough, no-nonsense leader to keep the rest of your socks in line.

These Star Trek Spock Socks Have Vulcan Ears

These Star Trek Spock Socks are completely logical. Allow me to channel my inner Dr. Seuss. Spock socks shock. They also rock. Whether on the outer rim or in dry dock. Be one of the flock and dress in Spock. It’s the fashion around the clock. Do you grok?

Okay, I make a terrible Dr. Seuss. Because I ran out of juice. My rhymes like a noose. Anyway, enough of that nonsense. I see you raising a Vulcan eyebrow.

So these Spock Socks have ears sticking out of their sides, which may not be very practical if you wear pants or boots since they’ll get in the way, but if you wear these with some Starfleet shorts and a uniform top you’ll be alright. I’m sure you won’t get any weird looks at all.

These bad boys are the logical way to keep your feet warm. They’re made of 80% Acrylic/17% Nylon/3% Spandex and 100% awesome. I feel like they are bound to follow this up with Romulan and a Ferengi versions. I can’t wait to wear Quark on my feet with his big Dumbo ears. I’d pay good Latinum for that.
