Reason 2: An end to foot odor at last
What causes foot odour?
Foot sweat does not mean foot odor. Sweat is odorless in itself and is part of a healthy bodily function. Sweat only becomes a problem when it is metabolized by bacteria and fungi in dark, poorly ventilated and damp places.
When moisture gets trapped in an enclosed area and cannot escape, bacteria begin to thrive in a smelly way. But how do toe socks help?
Step 1: Separate the toes.
The place where the most sweat accumulates - and from which it is also the hardest to get away - is between the toes.
Toe socks simply take this place away from germs: they separate the toes, bind the moisture in the fabric and keep the skin in the spaces between the toes hygienically clean.
Step 2: Bind the moisture.
The purpose of sweat is to cool the body - but only if it can evaporate. In conventional socks, for example, the sweat on the toes stays where it is: on the skin. In toe socks, the sweat is absorbed by the fabric of the sock and bound in the fabric. The skin stays dry and the foot can cool down. Then it doesn't need to sweat any more. And so it comes to the final step ...
Step 3: Regulate the temperature.
In toe socks, sweat is allowed to do its work without causing damage: The feet regulate the temperature and do not produce excess sweat. They stay dry, clean and are neither too warm nor too cold.
