Jason Simmons, DeadSoxy



Rick is joined this week, by Jason Simmons of DeadSoxy.

Socks may literally be the most boring article of clothing…but DeadSoxy is changing this opinion one step at a time by reinventing the underrated apparel.

After years of searching for the perfect sock, creator Jason Simmons (a sock and fashion enthusiast from birth) was disappointed with what he found.

“It didn’t matter if I spent $2 dollars or $200, my socks would eventually get holes, lose stretch, or slip off my heal…even when they were no slip! I realized that if I wanted my dream socks, I’d have to make them myself,” says Simmons.

“People think I’m crazy but I engineered these socks to have literally everything you could possibly want.”

WHY ARE THESE SOCKS SO AMAZING?

The Feel: Uber-soft, high-end yarn enables a cool and dry environment for your feet and means no shrinking

The Look: Superior dyes keep socks from fading and the distinct patterns give your outfit an extra dose of style

The Design: Engineered in a U.S. knitting mill to create a unique technical design that no other sock on the market has

The Magic: These technical specifications keep our socks, whether crew or no show, from slipping or falling; so you get a comfortable wear & put-together look ALL day

The Deal: They are THE ONLY company ever to offer a money back guarantee if they slip off your foot.
