Already several heated socks out there not sure about blue tooth control, and the vibrating bit I don't think would be feasible considering the parts that would be needed to make them vibrate nothing like walking on hard lumps in your socks

Smart Socks:

Imagine socks that can track your steps, monitor your heart rate, or adjust their temperature based on the weather. Also very thin materials that could enable socks than can collapse/extend from ankle length to knee by like a capacitive touch or your foot gesture.

Incorporating smart technology into our socks, we can offer a whole new level of functionality and convenience.

Make them Lego proof.

Make them with a hard sole so that extremely comfy, but basically knackered trainers don't make your feet sore.

Sell sock retrieval sticks for getting them from under the bed.

I'd put a small r&d team in charge of studying the nalbending weaving/knotting techniques of the ancient vikings. We have found woven wool socks that are over a thousand years old in burial mounds, and they are still watertight today.

That r&d team would be in charge of figuring out how to replicate those techniques using modern technology and materials.

Also, get some material science nerds to see if they can develop hollow carbon nanotubes filled with non-Newtonian fluid, so that the entire structure of the sock itself could serve like a gel cushion. Put Dr Scholl's out of business.

Absolutely simple: put the seam and the pattern on the same side.

Sock seams rub and are uncomfortable. Wearing socks inside out is more comfortable, but can look stupid if the sock is patterned.

They could do this TODAY and have a line of neurospicy-friendly socks available TOMORROW. Quids in and many happy people.
