No more will a man have to steal his girlfriend's liner socks to wear with his Chuck Taylors or Sperry boat shoes to avoid sweaty, stinking feet in the hot summer months, the Wimbleys No-Show Socks have them covered. Modelled after classic dress socks for men, the Wimbleys No-Show Socks are not only properly sized, they are also boldly patterned so that the wearer's won't have to feel like ballerina's when their shoes are off.
Designed by Kory Stevens, who is based in Provo, Utah, the Wimbleys No-Show Socks are especially attractive because of their no-slip feature. Each sock boasts a patterned silicone in the heel for a better grip. Stevens recently stretched its original Kickstarter goal of $29,000 since it was reached with ease in the first few days.
