If we financed more than $ 65 (about 5070 yen) and paid an international shipping fee of 5 dollars (about 390 yen) it seems to be able to receive 4 sets of "Socrates" and a special handkerchief in the following picture.


It seems that the project name is "Socrates" because it is called "socks", so it is named "Socrates" because it is the most clever (smart) sock. The fact that Kevlar is a strong material is also evident from the fact that it is used for bulletproof vests, but it is not a situation in which a shock is instantaneously applied like a bullet, but if it scrapes for a long time and gradually becomes injured But whether we can maintain strength for a long time, verification of the product version is awaited.
