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 a simple and natural way to prevent foot odor and fungal infections.
The Silver Protect toe socks in a nutshell
- ensure a better foot climate: the silver yarn in the toe and heel area keeps the most sensitive parts of the foot clean and dry.
- safe and durable to use: without chemicals, the silver stays 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:
The heel, toes and interdigital spaces are particularly susceptible to germs. That is why we have incorporated a silver yarn at the forefoot and heel, which is interwoven with the cotton thread.
Toe socks decisivelyimprove the foot climate by widening the spaces between the toes. This change in the microclimate - less temperature and less moisture - worsens the living conditions of harmful germs. The silver thread lying directly on the skin in the gaps can fight the germs locally.
Frequently asked questions
When and by whom are silver toe socks most commonly used?
- in everyday life, for preventing and combating foot odour, sweaty feet, cheese feet
- in work shoes to prevent foot infections and odour
- in contact with patients whose immune system is weakened or who pose a risk of infection.
Are normal toe socks not enough?
Normal toe socks without silver fibre 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
- Bindsweat 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 resilient.
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. As a result, the toes are pressed together and the ventilation and dehumidification of the interdigital spaces deteriorates.
Why is there no silver thread in the material label?
The European Textile Labelling Regulation does not provide for a labelling option for silver threads in the material labelling. The silver yarn is interwoven with the cotton yarn in the forefoot area and at the heel.
How often can I wash my Dr. Foot Silver Protect before they lose their effect?
Tests confirm that even after 200 washes, 99% of the effectiveness is still retained. The silver layer does not detach from the yarn through washing or wearing and thus cannot enter the body.
