Nah a lot of times government inventions get sold under license. Gov invents it and private industry perfects it. Within 5 years you’d have Darn Tough blisterproof socks and gov gets a fraction of every sale. It’s how NASA has the best ROI in the government.
Yeah, I learned it from guys in the army. It’s because dress socks reduce friction, and the normal socks absorb sweat.
Why doesn’t the army just make blister-preventing socks?
That really sounds like some amazing government invention that gets everywhere. Like accelerometers. Or Tang.
Military grade stuff generally sucks, lol.

I love me some darn tough socks.
