Walking socks, hiking socks, running socks, tennis socks, golf socks, aerobics socks, ski socks - there are socks made for each and every sport, and each one is slightly different. There are thick socks, thin socks, socks that are thick in the heel and thin in the toe and some that are just the opposite.

Not only do you have to worry about the design of the sock based on your sport but you have to consider style. Do you prefer knee hi socks, crew socks, mini-crews or socks with little balls at the heel? You can buy socks made specifically for women or men or unisex socks.

I have a whole drawer dedicated to socks and they are in a rainbow of colors. Although most are white, I also have black, brown and even bright pink socks.
