Young Blonde Girl Wearing Rainbow Socks

Footwraps, pieces of cloth that are worn wrapped around the feet, were worn with boots before socks became widely available. They remained in use by armies in Eastern Europe up until the beginning of the 21st century.

A sock is also used as a holiday item for the seasonal event Christmas, a Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus. The sock, or Christmas stocking, is usually hung by a nail and filled with small presents that 'Santa' has brought them while they are asleep.
