We're Geeking Out Over These Nerd-tastic Socks!

Wear your nerdiness proudly in footwear from Foot Traffic. According to Merriam-Webster, the first written use of the word nerd occurred in the book If I Ran the Zoo by Dr. Seuss, published in 1950: "And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-trooAnd bring back an It-kutch, a Preep and a Proo,A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too!" In this instance, a Nerd is some kind of imaginary creature worthy of capture for the narrator's imaginary zoo. But shortly after that book came out, Newsweek published an article on the latest slang, which included the word nerd. In this instance, the article noted that the term referred to "someone who once would be called a drip or a square..." How the word made that jump is unknown. But the word nerd has undergone many changes in meaning since then, and today we're happy to say that being a nerd is kind of cool. In fact, many who earn the moniker wear it proudly. Being a nerd now implies that you're super-smart in areas where others aren't -- like books, words, numbers, science, space, and technology.
