Let's hope the scary book stays a book.
For the reader, the English teacher and anyone who finished 1984 and wished it were only a story. Big white capital letters on bright red ask for one simple thing. Give them to the book club, the bookworm or the friend with strong opinions about the ending.
Red and ready.
Bright red looks sharp with jeans, grey sweaters and a stack of library books.
Four words, stacked tall.
MAKE ORWELL FICTION AGAIN is printed in white serif capitals down both sides of the leg of a bright red sock.
Three good reasons to judge a sock by its cover.
- A joke for readers. Book lovers get it at once.
- Bright red. A bold color that is easy to spot and easy to wear.
- A gift for word nerds. Teachers, writers and the friend with a stack of books by the bed.
Wear them as men's socks or as women's socks; the joke works either way. Silly socks make a gloomy day a little lighter. Need Secret Santa gift items? This pair gets the laugh. Stuck on a present for white elephant? This pair is a safe bet.
- One size fits most. Fits men's shoe sizes 7-13. Fits women's shoe sizes 8.5-14.5.
- Materials: 80% combed cotton, 18% nylon, 2% spandex

Heads up: SockEm is humor for grown-ups. Our socks (and this site) are meant to be fun and a little cheeky — if that's not your cup of tea, no hard feelings, feel free to click away.
A gift with personality.
Make it your own.

Personality. No small talk required.
A tiny conversation starter. A very personal gift. A reason to retire those socks from college.
A few good questions.
How do I choose the right size?
Check the product description and available size options. Shoe size is a better guide than age alone. If you are between sizes or buying a gift, confirm the recipient’s shoe size before ordering.
What is this pair made from?
Check the product description for the maker’s fabric information. Need a specific fiber or fit feature? Ask us before ordering.
How should I care for these socks?
Follow the maker’s washing and drying instructions on the packaging or care label. The instructions can vary by fabric and design.
Can I give these as a gift?
Choose a design that fits their interests and check their shoe size. Any available gift-wrapping options are shown with the product or during checkout.
When will my order arrive?
Delivery options and charges are calculated at checkout for your destination. Check our shipping and returns information before placing your order.
