How to Buy Socks
Feet are one of the most crucial parts of our body. They serve as our base when we stand and have thousands of nerves. Yet, it is estimated that 75% of Americans have chronic foot pain and even more have problems with blisters, odor, and cold feet. Many people believe socks are just a part of our wardrobe. On the contrary, there are many types of socks that serve special purposes including protecting the feet from impact, easing joint pain as well as prevent moisture, bacteria, and odor.
A Shopping Checklist to Consider When Buying Socks
1) Socks should always have good sole cushioning. This is vital because the cushioning in socks lessens the impact on the feet and joints for every step we take. Over time, this will leave our feet feeling less tired. In addition, socks with more cushioning are more durable and comfortable.
2) Socks should fit the feet well. Blisters on the foot are frequently caused by socks that move up and down our feet, thus causing abrasions. A good pair of socks will fit the feet comfortably without being too loose. Make sure that you buy the correct sock size because sock sizes and shoe sizes are not equivalent.
3) High quality socks should be made of a blend of materials, most notably a cotton blend and with some nylon. For warmer climates, the preferred material mix is 80% cotton and 20% nylon. This combination of materials in socks allows for proper sweat absorption and also allows the feet to breath through the socks, which will help prevent bacteria and odor. For colder weather, look for socks that are made from materials such as wool that can insulate against the cold temperatures. Most importantly, make sure that you are not allergic to the sock materials.
4) Socks should be resistant to abrasion. Look for socks that have full cushion support. These socks will minimize blisters. In addition, try to find socks that have reinforced toes and heels. These are the parts on a sock that wear out the quickest.
5) Pick the right sock height. Over the calf socks are good for cold weather activities such as snowboarding and skiing. Meanwhile, ankle socks or quarter socks are best for exercising such as running and biking. Lastly, crew socks are great for hikes.
6) Pick the right sock weight. Light weighing socks are great for physical activities such as running and other exercises. Medium weight socks can be used for every day activities as well as exercising. Heavy weight socks are ideal for cold climate activities such as skiing.
7) Save money on socks. Buy socks at bulk quantities to get wholesale pricing, which is typically 60% off retail prices. Some online retailers sell socks by the dozen that are a lot cheaper than what you can get at department stores. Some even offer free shipping with multiple sock orders.
Caveats:
-Remember to read the manufacturer’s instructions for sock care. Some socks such as those made with synthetic fibers cannot be washed in warm water. So caring for your socks can make them last a lot longer and help save money.
-Always wear socks with shoes. Shoes and sweaty feet are a bad combination which will lead to bacteria formation and foot odor. In addition, constant moisture in shoes will lead to athlete’s foot.
