Just too keep your feet toasty warm or so much more?

And I only get my socks off while I'm dreaming,
I only get my socks off while I'm sleeping.

There was some guy on Sesame Street who claimed to have invented them, but Kermit the Frog's roving reporter told him he was wrong.

"By the 8th century B.C., Greek poet Hesiod wrote of piloi, socks made from matted animal hairs"
