Originally designed in 1944 by Edgar P. Sock, cheese socks are actually the predecessor to the cotton/woollen sock. Created for use as handy snack that could also keep workers' feet warm, cheese socks were first used by miners who did not feel that their feet stunk badly enough, especially when they would kick off their boots in poorly ventilated, enclosed mine shafts. Due to problems with mould and smell however, cheese socks didn't hit the streets for normal folk until 1978, by which time the "real" sock had been released and robots were replacing miners. This rendered cheese socks somewhat useless, but they are still cherished by a small group of fans (the Cheese Warriors) for their invigorating cheesy meltedness between their toes.
