What kind of socks do you wear in summer?
Choosing a few pairs of comfortable and breathable socks is an essential need that people tend to neglect in summer. Although socks are small, it's not easy to buy a suitable pair. What kind of socks do you wear in summer?
Choose less wool socks. This kind of socks is not good at absorbing sweat, which is easy to make feet wet and cause blisters. In general, it is better to choose cotton socks, but if you want to exercise, it is recommended to buy Corduroy socks, which can absorb sweat better.

Pure cotton socks are the best choice to wear on weekdays. 100% cotton materials are not usually used to make socks for outdoor activities. Cotton will absorb sweat, not easy to dry, once the cloth is wet, there will be no temperature insulation, and uncomfortable, easy to make feet produce blisters.
100% cotton socks don't exist! Socks are elastic, which means that the components of socks contain other materials. Such as: spandex, polyester, nylon, etc. The main function of spandex is to increase elasticity. It has high ductility and high elastic recovery rate. Therefore, the socks mixed with spandex will be elastic and not easy to shrink. While nylon and polyester have high strength and wear resistance, socks mixed with these ingredients are more wear-resistant. Socks with cotton content of about 80% can be called all cotton socks. Socks can not say 100% cotton, because socks must contain auxiliary ingredients, so socks will have good air permeability, wear resistance, sweat absorption.

When selecting socks, we should pay attention to distinguish. The handle of artificial fiber will be relatively smooth, while the cotton quality will be relatively rough. When opening the socks to observe the surface, there are no brown dots or less, that is, combed cotton. Generally, cotton socks will be added with acrylic fiber to increase the elasticity of socks. Socks with more cotton and less acrylic fiber have soft hand feel, good moisture absorption and more comfortable to wear.

The elasticity of socks is better. Elastic socks are not easy to slip. Poor socks will be deformed after washing, and the fiber will agglomerate, resulting in uneven parts, and people will feel the foot grinding in the movement. When choosing socks, it depends on whether the elastic fiber of the sock rib is broken. If so, you can't buy them.

In fact, among all natural materials, hemp has the best air permeability. Hemp has natural antibacterial and bacteriostatic functions, and its moisture absorption and perspiration performance is superior to that of cotton and chemical fiber, so it gives people a "dry" and "cool" feeling. But socks containing more than 55% hemp are rare in China.
In addition, fit and size are very important. Socks should fit perfectly, not too tight or too loose. If the socks are too large, extra fiber will increase friction and damage the foot skin. When buying socks, you should pay attention to the fiber density of socks, and it is not recommended to buy socks that are too loose. In addition, high-quality socks such as toe separation socks and arch tie socks should be prepared for each person.

For those who have some beriberi symptoms, it is recommended that you choose the five finger socks that can separate the toes. On the one hand, this can reduce the probability of fungal infection, on the other hand, it is also conducive to the drying and ventilation of the toes.

Standard for choosing socks
1. Remember the 6-word formula of "tight and loose, bright and clean". That is to say, the sock mouth and the sock tube shall be suitable for tightness, the sock bottom shall be loose, the sock heel shall be large, the sock surface shall be smooth, the rib shall be flush without skew, the needle texture shall be clear, and the pattern, sock head and sock heel shall be free of exposed needle.
2. The color should be consistent with the inside of the shoes as much as possible. Children's socks are preferred to light ones. The brighter the color is, the more chemical ingredients will be added.
3. The socks with cotton fiber as the main material and appropriate amount of elastic fiber are preferred.
4. Consider its use and wearing objects, such as comfort and breathability in daily wear, and softness and wearability in sports; cotton socks with breathability and hygroscopicity should be selected for sweaters, polyester socks and nylon socks with poor hygroscopicity should be selected for those with dry feet; socks with simple structure, light color and smooth surface should be selected for children's socks as far as possible, and dotted lines should not be exposed Socks outside.
There are three situations, which means your socks should be eliminated
1. Loss of elasticity. Socks lose their elasticity and do not follow their feet when walking or exercising. If you sweat, you will feel greasy and easily get hurt.
2. The heel is thin and has holes. Thinning socks can cause heel injury or blistering.
3. It's uncomfortable to put on. When the feet are tight, scratchy, and obviously bruised, the socks are not suitable.
The health care network reminds that when washing socks, do not rub them hard to prevent the socks from slipping out or breaking after strong friction; the water temperature for washing socks should not exceed 40 ℃, otherwise the socks will shrink after being heated, the sole of socks will become smaller, and even the socks will harden and become better. In order to maintain the original luster of socks, it is better not to use soap containing too much alkali, just rub it gently with hands, rinse it with water, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.
