But what are the best bamboo socks?

As soon as you start looking for bamboo socks you will come across countless options. But how do you choose and what are the best bamboo socks?

When buying new socks and especially bamboo socks there are a few things you should pay attention to. First of all the material is important. Look carefully at the material the socks are made of. It sometimes happens that socks are called 'bamboo' but that almost no bamboo is used in the product. A sock is 'good' when it consists of at least 60% of the 'main material'. The more the better. Socks with more than 75% 'main material' (in this case bamboo) are generally of very good quality!

Secondly, it is important to pay attention to the seams of the sock. Many people prefer seamless socks. This means that the sock has no noticeable seam at the toe. Looking for seamless bamboo socks ? Both the bamboo and cotton socks from SOLIT are all seamless!
