    Yes, I saw the aesthetically pleasing dong, but why is no one talking about the most interesting part of the article?

    a frictionless yarn that evolved from military uses, most notably in socks worn by infantry soldiers who do a lot of marching.

    Where do I buy these socks???

      They’re not exactly high tech, but my wool blend socks have treated my feet just fine through many hot and often wet miles of wear. They’re pretty frictionless inside my boot, they keep my feet from feeling wet even when soaked with sweat, and I don’t think I’ve gotten a single blister since I made the switch. And only because you asked “where do I buy?”, the Kirkland brand wool blend ones are my favorite.
