Dr. Foot® Silver Protect Midi – the new everyday classic for protection at work and in everyday life

Knitido Dr. Foot Silver Protect® Midi with silver threads are an easy and natural way to prevent foot odor and fungal infections.

The Silver Protect toe socks in brief

• ensure a better foot climate: The silver yarn in the toe and heel area keeps the most sensitive areas of the foot clean and dry.
• safe and permanently applicable: without chemicals, the silver remains in the sock and does not affect the skin flora, as it only works in direct contact with germs.
• made of 87% boil-proof cotton, washable up to 60°C
• soft everyday socks, wearable all year round.

This is how Dr. Foot Silver Protect toe socks work:

Heel, toes and spaces between the toes are particularly susceptible to germs. That's why we have incorporated a silver yarn on the forefoot and heel, which is interwoven with the cotton thread.

Toe socks improve the foot climate considerably by widening the spaces between the toes. This change in the microclimate – less temperature and less moisture – worsens the living conditions of the harmful germs. The silver thread, which lies directly on the skin in the spaces between the toes, can combat the germs locally.

Frequently asked questions

When and by whom are silver toe socks most often used?

• in everyday life, for the prevention and control of foot odor, sweaty feet, cheese feet
• in work shoes to avoid foot infections and odor
• in contact with patients whose immune system is weakened or who pose a risk of infection.

Are normal toe socks not sufficient?

Normal toe socks without silver fiber are already a step towards improving foot health because they

• widen the spaces between the toes and ensure a balanced foot climate and poorer conditions for germs.
• Bind sweat from the spaces between the toes in the fabric and thus "dehumidify" them.
• promote the holistic use of the foot and make the foot more resistant.

Toe socks with silver thread have an additional antimicrobial effect by attacking existing germs.

How do silver toe socks differ from conventional socks with silver thread?

Conventional socks enclose the entire foot but do not reach between the toes. This presses the toes together, worsening ventilation and dehumidification of the spaces between them.

Why is there no silver thread indicated in the material identification?

The European Textile Labeling Regulation does not provide a labeling option for silver threads in the material identification. The silver yarn is interwoven with the cotton yarn in the forefoot area and on the heel.

How often can I wash my Dr. Foot Silver Protect before they lose their effectiveness?

Tests confirm that even after 200 washes, 99% of the effectiveness is retained. The silver layer does not detach from the yarn due to washing or wearing and therefore cannot enter the body.
