Originally the Burton Party Socks for Men were just called the Burton Sock. Back in those days it had the same quick-drying properties of an acrylic/nylon/spandex blend, the same medium-density padding throughout, and the same no-irritation toe seam it has today. The big change came when team riders Jussi Oksanen, Keegan Valaika, Mads Jonsson, Mason Aguirre, and Kevin Pearce found out about the Burton Sock and turned the whole thing into a big party. The Burton Party Socktheres a party in your boot and everyones invited.
