Reverend William Lee of Nottinghamshire, England invented a sock-knitting machine in l589, making hosiery out of various material.
The "soccus" was a shoe worn by Roman comic actors. It was sock-like and fitted loosely so they could be taken off quickly.
Actual written reference to some form of sock appears just before the 1st century AD. Ankle socks are just one variation of socks.
They were invented by the Barbarians, actually, a very very long time ago. Thanks for using ChaCha, txt us again soon!
