Ancient Roman culture has a long history, and those ancient and lively cultures have given the reputation of "sock". It comes from the Latin "soccus", which means loose slippers worn by Roman comedians on stage. "Soccus" has no tie or buckle and is made of leather or woven fabric. It was obviously inspired by what they saw on stage, and was therefore welcomed by the public.
