Although there is freedom in wearing summer shoes, there is also another more tragic side that is being cleverly addressed by way of these Sole Socks 2.0. The second generation of the original Sole Socks, they provide an additional toe cap to ensure extra protection and coverage for those who want it.
Boasting a plush terry cloth top that is attached to a durable cotton outer layer and a sole with grip to ensure it stays put in the shoe, the Sole Socks 2.0 deliver high performance for everyday use. Designers Tanner and Taylor Dame also explain, "These same fiber that grip and stabilize the Sole-Sock, are designed in such a way to allow air to flow from underneath your foot. This allows your foot to breathe, cools it down and reduces sweat and odor."
