DeFeet International
The Story of a North Carolina Microsockery

OUR STORY
In 1992 DeFeet knitted the Aireator sock inside out from conventional cycling sock construction. At that time, cycling socks were single use, white, and had little to no stretch, knitted with a soft destructible outer layer and an inner lining of nylon.
