If you particularly need to distinguish left and right, it is recommended to buy toe socks. At present, this new product should be differentiated.
Socks usually do not distinguish between left and right feet!
Because the socks themselves are very soft and will expand and contract slightly according to the shape of the feet, there is no special distinction between left and right socks in various countries.
Socks are a kind of clothing item worn on the feet. "Shuowen": "韤, foot clothing." It plays the role of protecting and beautifying the feet. Socks is a general term. According to the raw materials, they are divided into cotton socks, wool socks, silk socks and various types of chemical fiber socks. According to the shape, there are stockings, mid-length socks, boat socks, etc., as well as flat mouth, ruffled mouth, with and without heels. And jacquard, woven flowers and other styles and varieties. According to functions, there are deodorant socks and antibacterial socks. For example, the Australian 2xu brand deodorant and antibacterial socks are specially used for aerospace and field troops. They have efficient and long-lasting deodorant and antibacterial characteristics, and are suitable for people with stinky feet and athlete's foot. Although socks are just a supporting role, they are no less fashionable than fashion in terms of fashion sensitivity, with bright green, exciting pink and purple, and vibrant red. The details of the socks fully draw on the popular elements of fashion. Lively stripes, fashionable flowers, and animal graphics make the socks particularly rich in expression.
The ancient socks were called "foot clothes" or "foot bags". After thousands of years of evolution, they developed into modern socks.
Women in ancient Rome wore thin straps around their feet and legs. These leggings were the most primitive socks. Until the middle of the Middle Ages, this kind of "socks" became popular in Europe, but with pieces of cloth instead of thin straps. In the 16th century, the Spanish began to separate pantyhose from trousers and began to use knitting methods to knit socks.
Englishman Li W engaged his wife in hand-knitting, which led to his research on knitting machinery. In 1589, he invented the world's first hand-knitting machine for knitting woolen trousers. In 1598, it was modified into a knitting machine that could produce finer stockings.
Soon, the Frenchman Fournier began to produce stockings in Lyon, and it was not until the middle of the 17th century that cotton stockings began to be produced. After DuPont invented nylon in the United States in 1938, the first batch of nylon socks was put on the market in the same year. Since then, the sock market has undergone complete changes. Nylon stockings have been favored by people and became all the rage. It became popular in Europe late, and it was not until 1945 that the first batch of nylon stockings were officially launched. According to research, the most original socks appeared in China's Xia Dynasty (21st to 17th century BC). In the book "Wenzi", there is a phrase "King Wen defeated Chong, and the socks were untied", which means that the strings tied by King Wen of Zhou's socks came loose. Judging from the two pairs of silk socks unearthed from the Western Han Dynasty Tomb No. 1 in Mawangdui, Changsha, they were both made of whole silk tailors, sewn on the insteps and back sides, and the bottoms were seamless. The sock has an opening at the back, and a garter belt is attached to the opening. The sizes of the socks are 23cm and 23.4cm, and the stocking height is 21cm and 22.5cm.
Before people wore socks, people had been using leggings in a broad sense. This goes back to ancient Egypt with leather leggings and sock-like garments sewn from linen or woolen fabrics. Socks appeared during the Crusades, but they were not prepared for ladies. The Crusaders used pure silk fabrics to make more exquisite socks. Women adorned their ankles with dainty, tiny shoes that flickered under beautiful dresses. At that time, socks were only for men. In 1589, William Lee, a student at the British seminary, invented a machine for manually sewing socks, which was six times faster than hand sewing. This was the originator of the sewing machine. At the same time, women also started wearing socks.
