the link says the family has not been notified, does that mean they know who it is?
rubber boot makes me think someone who fell from a vessel.

Those socks look Japanese to me - like, from Japan. If so they could be synthetic, which...
...is there a chance this could be from a 2011 tsunami victim?

I don't think so, as one of the reports says "They are unable to identify the ethnicity of the deceased but say a feature often found in skeletons of Asian or Native American ancestry is not present in the tibia."

The sock looks like a standard athletic sock to me. The boots are the kind you'd wear while fishing or doing muddy farm work, but they're a little too light-duty for working on a fishing boat, IMHO. Too narrow of a sole and too high of a heel. The leather tag in front would probably have the company on it.
