Why Do Women's Socks Never Stay Together?

Did you know? It takes a woolen sock about a year to bio-degrade. Of course, we all know that at least one sock of a pair will be lost long before it ever gets a chance to bio-degrade. It is said that Death and Taxes are the only two constants in life, but if there's one thing we can count on occurring with alarming regularity, it's that one sock of a pair will go missing. Try as you might, do whatever you will, but at some point you will end up with a lone sock. A mateless sock, if you will. And, well, everyone knows that you can't do anything with just a single sock. What's the moral of this story? Absolutely nothing. But it does remind us that you can never have too many socks.

Sock it to 'Em!

Women's socks, as with all other manner of female hosiery products, come in such a dazzling array of styles and types that stocking up (excuse the pun) on socks is not quite as boring a chore as you might expect. Whether it be everyday socks, performance socks, coordinate socks, or novelty socks, there's sure to be something for every lady for every occasion and season. And just so that you don't look like a complete sock neophyte, we've compiled a list of the most common sock fabrics used in sock production:

• Natural Fibers: Cotton, Wool, Linen, Silk, and Rayon.
• Manufactured Fibers: Nylon, Acrylic, Spandex, and Polyester.

Each of these fabrics have their own unique properties and in order to best make use of their particular strengths, socks are often created using blends of multiple fibers.

They're not made of different fibers, but the links on the right-hand side of the page do have the advantage of taking you straight to product pages with more women's footwear and footsupport or support socks than you're likely to ever need. Your single socks will thank you.
