I hope they did back then, but (shame) that wasn't at the forefront of my mind back then. The visual impact was a stroke of genius though, had everyone talking about it for the rest of the show.
It's probably to do with the fact that I went full barefoot for a few years in there. No running, but walking miles in the city every day with nothing on my feet solved my back and knee problems, but allowed my feet to splay out enough that I have trouble finding shoes. A compression sock seems to hold my foot together enough that it hurts while walking and hiking. That effect seems to help in bike shoes though? I don't understand the biomechanics of it beyond that if I don't wear them riding and do wear them regular-like, my feet hurt.
Swiftwick and Darn Tough have saved me money over time. I always got awful holes in cheaper socks in a short time, but haven't needed to replace any from either of those companies.
