Tips For Purchasing Absorbent Socks

By Elizabeth Ward


A pair of socks is an essential for almost everyone as they serve various functions. To students and businessmen, socks are used to complete their look. For athletes, socks help them control sweaty feet and withhold the smelly scent of their feet when exercising. Here are some of the guidelines to note when shopping and caring for absorbent socks.

The first thing that you should know when you are planning to shop is that the absorbency of the foot garments will be determined by the material used during manufacture. The best material to choose is cotton. This is because it has the best capacity when it comes to absorbing. Although there other fabrics which are blended during manufacture, you should make sure that the foot garments you buy have at least 50 percent cotton for better results.

Another thing you need to think of when choosing the foot garments is how safe you will be when using them. Athletes who pick foot garments in a haphazard manner often end up with injuries such as blisters and other stress related foot garments. When you have the right type of foot garments, they will absorb some of the impacts as you exercise, reducing the likelihood of an injury.

For athletes, they are required to specifically purchase foot garments suited for athletes. This type of foot garments is uniquely designed for the athletes to cushion their feet, keep them warm and prevent them from getting irritated. Furthermore, most types of athlete socks are made from acrylics which is the most suitable material that works best for athletes foot garments.

For people that exercise a lot, cotton may not be the ideal material for foot garments. This is because it can trap moisture. When this moisture accumulates, the foot heats up and as a result, blisters start forming. The recommendation is a lightweight fiber that has been reinforced with a wicking component.

Athletes foot is another problem which may arise as are the result of wearing the wrong foot garments. This problem comes in when sweat which was formed when wearing the socks cools down. When this sweatness stays there for hours every day, it may end up causing the problem.

Moisture wicking fabrics work in a manner that is a little different from the absorbent ones. For instance, when your feet sweat while wearing them, the water will move from the point of contact to the topmost layer of the fabric.

You should consider the color and length of the foot garments. For instance, you should wear long foot garments if you are in strength training to avoid getting scraped by the machinery.

Those are some of the tips you need to keep in mind when purchasing foot garments for use. However, even on considering the above, you need to ensure that the foot garments you purchase will suit your needs, can be used for a long time before you have to replace them and they are of the right quality and brand. Furthermore, they need to be able to keep your feet warm and dry.
