The comfort level of socks mainly depends on the material. If you don’t have a lot of sweat on your feet, you can of course choose “cotton” socks, but the ratio of cotton content is not that the higher the cotton content, the better.
Cotton is a very versatile textile material with good moisture absorption effect, comfortable wearing, and low price as a raw material.
But one thing is different from what everyone thinks. We don’t recommend socks made of only “cotton”. Because cotton is not elastic and has poor strength and abrasion resistance, it will not be too comfortable to wear.
Therefore, whether it is cotton or other socks, it is recommended to choose a blend of chemical fiber components such as spandex and polyester, which can very well improve durability and comfort. Details of its ingredients can be found on the packaging and product details page. In addition, although cotton absorbs moisture, its ability to wick away perspiration is not so outstanding. If the foot sweats too much, the socks may become wet.
A better choice is hemp fiber, bamboo fiber, viscose or modal fiber.
There are many gaps in the hemp fiber and bamboo fiber, while the viscose and modal fiber have grooves on the surface. These two structures can better help drain the sweat and complete the whole process of moisture absorption and perspiration, even if sweating It can also help keep the feet dry to the greatest extent.
Hemp fiber and bamboo fiber also have natural antibacterial and deodorant effects, which can help reduce odor to a certain extent, while viscose and modal fiber are skin-friendly and comfortable to wear.
There are two more powerful materials, wool and CoolMax fiber.
Wool not only has good moisture absorption and perspiration performance, but it can also reduce microbial pollution and lock the bad smell in the shoes.
CoolMax fiber is a very good functional chemical fiber. It has better moisture absorption and perspiration performance than natural fiber. It also has the characteristics of wear resistance of chemical fiber. It is more used in outdoor products.
Secondly, pay attention to the weaving design
If it’s summer, you can choose socks with a looser knit and thin texture, because their structure is naturally more breathable.
If you sweat a lot between your toes, you can choose five-finger socks. Each toe is wrapped and the sweat is directly sucked away. Such socks, because of the uniform force, are not prone to holes.
If you want to keep warm, you can focus on the materials.
The first is the socks with high content of acrylic and polypropylene. These two materials are light in texture, good in keeping warm, and the price is also cheap.
There is also wool, which not only absorbs moisture, but also keeps warm.
If you want to wear socks that are not easy to wear holes, look at the toe and heel of the sock.
When selecting, you can pay attention to whether the two parts of the toe and heel are reinforced, otherwise the force will be uneven and holes will be worn.
If you are afraid of socks slipping, you can choose ones with non-slip tape.
