Socks are an important basic part of your outfit, both for comfort during the day and as the finishing touch. They protect your feet from the cold, from blisters and if the socks are really good, from irritation. Yet, people often pay attention to quantity instead of quality. You would rather buy a bundle of socks for a low price than one or two pairs of high quality socks, for the same price.
In addition, the factors color and model are often the only ones that are paid attention to. That is a shame, because a pair of good socks that last a long time and look good prevent a lot of hassle. What do you usually pay attention to in the store? We help you make the right choices by listing the differences in material.
Cotton socks
The most commonly used and also the best-known material is cotton. Cotton socks have been around the longest and are worn by the most people. Why? They simply fit well and stay beautiful for a long time. In the cold period, wool is sometimes worn. The socks retain both heat and moisture well, but cannot be washed in the washing machine. Most socks are therefore made of a mix of wool and cotton.
Bamboo socks
The material bamboo is a relatively new raw material in the clothing industry and therefore also for socks. Bamboo is a strong fabric and has a high tensile strength. This is due to the hard surface and many fiber bundles that hold the fabric together well. Do you really not want holes in your socks? Then bamboo is definitely the best choice. The percentage of bamboo can vary. The most common proportions contain 78%-80% bamboo.
Bamboo also remains a good choice in terms of environmental friendliness. Thanks to its high growth rate and good properties, bamboo is not a polluting material. This is one of the best-known reasons why people of all ages buy both socks and other products made of bamboo. No polluting substances are used during growth, harvesting and processing.
