I think the most extreme socks I ever got were a gift from some friends I made when I was last in Japan.
As a foreigner and a guest in their land, they gave me all kinds of stuff, a bottle of coffee, seasonings for rice, a set of handkercheifs, a couple neckties, and a very interesting pair of socks (this all from the the lady of the house where we were having a bible study session...my first time meeting her/them).
As I have grown in my understanding of Japanese I now realize these particular socks are 'SUPER' odor resistant. Just the thing to give a foreign barbarian visitor...
The kicker is, they actually work. And if you know me, you know that means their odor fighting power has GOT to be extreme...
