dress soxFor those of us who are looking for something different from the usual run of twink and college guy sites, sometimes it's hard exactly what we're looking for. That's why I was pretty excited to find Dress Sox. Dress Sox is a site dedicated to the erotic look of men in dark socks and shoes. That's what it says on their tour and every pic features hot amateur guys in dark socks either solo or with other guys in action.

The men of Dress Sox are amateur and many are on the hunky side and the videos and pic sets are definitely good sock fetish content. Every guy wears thin dress socks, sometimes with clocks or garters or different colored toes. These are the kind of socks found in fine men's shops and these socks are definitely part of the action as the guys smell them or have socked feet touch and stroke their cocks and balls or jack off while wearing them.

One thing you will notice on both the tour and member area of Dress Sox is that the site is dedicated to trying to sell us DVDs, and if you click on one of the movie boxes or titles, it takes you away from the site entirely. If you find yourself at the DVD site when you didn't mean to be, just hit your browser's back button to find yourself back at Dress Sox.

There are currently 55 videos inside Dress Sox, mostly in Quicktime format. Some of the videos are presented in 2 parts, so there are actually less than 55 full videos in the site. Many of the movies feature guys who are not only in dress socks, but also in suits.

dress soxThe quality of the videos is amateur or below average quality and the videos are available as streaming only. They are shown at 320x240 and were a little slow to load - and sometimes more than just a little slow. The sound was okay, but on the quiet side and you'll probably want to turn your speakers up.

In case you want to watch a few more dress sock videos, check out the Video Arcade section. I'm not sure why these videos are in their own section as they are the same length and quality as the other videos, but these sock videos are all available in Quicktime and WMV in both dialup and broadband.

I decided to check out some pics and clicked the Galleries link. Imagine my surprise to find only 6 galleries of pics. Turns out most of the pics aren't in Galleries - they're inside a section called Features and there members will find pics from most of the videos. The pics are digital stills, not vidcaps, and they are pretty good quality although they are definitely on the smallish side. The pics are shot during the video shoots, so expect to see similar action although from different angles. The photography, while amateur, definitely captures what I wanted to see - guys in dress socks and plenty of sex and sock play.

dress soxThere's also a section called Archive with 20 more sets of pics. These pics are a little lower in quality than the pics found in the Features section but they are also larger.

There are some more features inside Dress Sox. One is the Contact Model page. On it you are able to email the models through the site - always a plus. There are also sock personals including men seeking men and also a sock exchange. If you're looking for guys into sock play, these personals might be a good option.

While I really wanted to love this site, it looks like its reason for existing is to sell the owners' exclusive dress sock videos rather than to give members a quality experience. The fairly low quality movies combined with the fact that you can find 7 DVDs for sale on most of the pages make it seem like the videos are glorified previews so members will buy the DVDs to see the movies at higher quality. Still, I admit that although I would have preferred higher quality and longer videos, whoever created these videos knows sock fetish content, and dress sock sex in particular.

If you love the site of a man in dark dress socks, Dress Sox is pretty much the only game in town. And to be fair, although the videos are on average only 5 minutes each and the qualty isn't everything it could be, the content of the movies is excellent. Every video and pic set brings us men in thin dark socks either masturbating in their socks or having sock sex. If you love men in dark socks, I'd say that Dress Sox is definitely worth a visit!
