Imagine a world without socks

Posted by Katrina

 


Today I found out that Albert Einstein, ‘the father of modern physics’, one of the most prolific intellects of modern history, did not wear socks.

This great, albeit dishevelled, man did not consider it important to dress his feet for any occasion.

And it got me thinking, what if Einstein’s attitude to socks had, excuse the pun, cottoned  on?






If we lived in a world without socks, and our sensitive feet were exposed to the harsh elements of the inside of a shoe, it would be a much smellier, sweatier place.

Feet would be colder. Imagine that on a freezing winter’s day, you couldn’t slip on your Slipper Socks to take the chill off.

 



Exercise would be harder too. Can you picture going on a six mile run without wearing your Cushioned Socks? Your feet would be so blistered and sore that you wouldn’t be able to tackle that last mile, or final uphill climb.

And at work, you would have to stick to your same old dreary suits and not be able to show your personality through flashes of novelty designs.



So I think we can all agree, Einstein was wrong on this one!
