Our feet are one of the most under appreciated body parts that we have. Most of us only focus on the types of shoes, slides or sandals to wear. Have you done research on the impact that socks can have on your health? Trust me, you’d be surprised.
Socks are more than just a protective barrier between your sole and your shoe. They are supposed to keep your feet dry from sweat and provide ventilation by releasing the moisture. Fun fact, your feet have between 200,000 and 260,000 sweat glands -- That is more than any other part of your body. I told you it would be surprising.
Lousy and worn socks keep your feet in a warm and moist environment, causing mold and bacteria to form on the surface of your feet. The elasticity of socks are also a contributing factor. Depending on how loose your socks are can have an impression on your veins. The thinner your veins in your feet can result in increased circulation preventing varicose veins and other lower leg conditions.
Healthy Soles are invested in antibacterial materials that combat fungal growths on the surface of your feet.
