In January 2007, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz visited the historic Selimiye Mosque in Edirne. As required, he removed his shoes before entering—but his worn grey socks, full of holes with his toes showing, quickly stole the spotlight.
Photographers captured the moment, and the images spread rapidly across global media, turning a simple visit into a lighthearted international story.
The humor didn’t stop there. Turkish sock manufacturers joined in, offering him a dozen new pairs. A representative even joked that high-quality Turkish socks would have avoided the embarrassment altogether.
