Beaded shark socks? I don’t think anyone guessed that this was going to happen! The idea just came to me one day when I was trying to think of a way to make shark socks that were different from other shark socks.

Beads are typically only added to the leg of a sock to avoid any discomfort that might arise from wearing beads inside shoes. The shark fins on the leg are textured and beaded, while the fins on the foot are simply textured, giving a more subtle look.
