I think verrucae socks were made from latex and you can still get them. The last time I saw them David Wilkie was endorsing them (early 80s) . Wilkie was a Scot who came after Mark Stipz and won Commonwealth trophies throughout the 70s. Much later he was done for promoting drugs in sport and fell out of the lime light. It is reputed he had warts on his feet but refused to have them treated or take precautions to obviate crossinfection and the reason was he wnated to pass the virus onto the Russian competitors.

Meantime you may find Sandsocks are what the patient is after. They are pretty cool

As an aside, I remember more than one young patient telling me that verruca-socks made excellent water-bombs!

Presumably part of the reason they were not deemed terribly effective at preventing cross-infection?

Cheers,
david
