Vive Wear Exum Shocking Socks

The Exum Crew Socks ($24), created by an orthopedic surgeon, use a combination of silver and copper nanoparticles to create a microcurrent of over 10-20 mV that will deliver a shock when activated by natural foot perspiration. The brand claims the microcurrents help contract muscles to improve motor function and increase circulation. The socks are made of baby alpaca and merino wool.
