Gearlog: Nano Silver Socks: Cutting Down Foot Stank at Its Source

It's OK. Admit it, we've all been there. You're just about ready to consummate a relationship with that special someone when it occurs to you: You've got foot odor.You could attempt to keep your shoes on for the rest of the night and chalk it up to some manifestation of a Tobias Fünke-like never-nude syndrome, or you can invest in a pair of Dami Trading's Nano Silver Socks.

According to the company, the socks are designed with nano silver particles built in to, "fight bacteria using a slow ionization process." The resulting effect is both anti-bacterial and deodorizing.

And have no fear: "The nano silver material maintains a semi-permanent antibacterial shield despite repeated use and wash." It's hard to say precisely how long "semi-permanent" is, but by then your significant other will hopefully have already accepted you for who you are. Stinky feet and all.

The Nano Silver Socks will be on display to the public with a number of other wacky Korean gadgets at New York's Koreannovation show on May 14th and 15th.
