Crew-2 pilot and Expedition 65 flight engineer Megan McArthur showed off her socks during an interview with CBS News (via Twitter):

The Bring Me Some Cookies Socks are made by Lavley.

From Expedition 70 flight engineer Loral O'Hara (via X), who raised chickens in her backyard back on Earth:
Grateful for good perches... and my family who sent me these socks.

In the 1980s shuttle astronauts used to wear the gray wool with brown leather sole socks by FALKE.
