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, especially bamboo socks, there are a few things you should watch out for. First of all, the material is important. Take a close look at the material the socks are made of. It often happens that socks are labeled 'bamboo' but contain hardly any bamboo in the product. A sock is 'good' when it consists of at least 60% of the 'main material'. The rule is, 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!
