The idiom knock your socks off means, to impress very strongly. It is a somewhat odd idiom since no matter how much something may impress you, it will not actually have any effect on your socks. But someone liked to imagine that a sufficient level of mental excitement would cause the socks to come flying off your feet (presumably, shoes as well).
