To make sure you stay warm when out and about, these Hobbit socks are essential even if you aren't in Middle Earth. The strange hosiery item is essentially a skin-colored pair of socks that feature swirls of hair on the top portion of the design (this is meant to emulate Frodo Baggins who is the main protagonist of the epic book and movie series Lord of the Rings).
The socks feature individual sections for each toe to help ensure that it makes you look like you aren't wearing any socks at all. The officially branded pair of Hobbit socks are perfect as a gift, but also perfect for adding a touch of geek chic style to your personal sock drawer.
