How do Dr. Foot® Silver Protect toe socks work?
The heel and toes are particularly susceptible to germs. That's why we have incorporated a naturally antimicrobial silver fibre in the forefoot and heel. It damages the outer shell of bacteria and fungi on contact and weakens or kills them.
- The spaces between the toes are protected spaces for bacteria and microbes. Favoured by the poor ventilation in the footwear and by the lateral squeezing in shoes that are too tight or conventional socks without toes, a warm and humid, dark hothouse climate prevails here - ideal for harmful germs.
- Many microbes nest in the callus of the foot. Since the heel and forefoot are subjected to the greatest stress when walking, a callus forms here as a protective layer.
Common areas of application
- Improve own foot hygiene in sensitive
areas (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) - Odour control in poorly ventilated work shoes and boots
- Infection prevention in places with increased risk potential for the feet, e.g. after visits to public baths, spas, swimming pools, etc.
- Prevention of foot infections in diabetics and people with weakened body defences
Frequently asked questions:
Are normal toe socks not enough?
Normal toe socks without silver fibers are already a step towards improving foot health. However, toe socks with silver thread can provide additional Plus protection in situations where the feet are exposed to particular hazards.
How do they differ from normal socks with silver thread?
Conventional socks enclose the entire foot, but ignore the shape of the toes. On the one hand, this presses the toes together. On the other hand, there is a retreat and protective space for microbes between the toes, which is not only left out by the antimicrobial fabric, but is also promoted by pressing the toes together.
There is no silver thread noted in the material label. Why?

How often can I wash my Dr. Foot Silver Protect before they lose their effect?
We use a silver thread that does not lose its effect. Even after 200 washes, 99% of the antimicrobial effectiveness remains.
