Socks keep your shoes from absorbing sweat and help prevent blisters. They’re useful beyond the social construct.

I don't know what the social aspect is apart from how the socks appear, but this isn't why they exist.

Edit: Damn. Some of you are threatened by not knowing what a social construct is but really want to argue about socks instead of asking DDG so you can understand wtf is going on before leaving a comment.

I'd be proud of this shit show, OP 🤣

I love when people say "ackchyually you're wrong" without offering an alternative.
