Blister-Banishing Socks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Bamboo Socks Prevent Blisters and Nasty Odors

— February 5, 2016 — Eco
Oh My Sock is offering innovative bamboo socks, designed for men, that are capable of stopping foot odors right in their tracks whilst also preventing the formation of painful and unsightly blisters.

These socks are made of bamboo fibers that have a rounded surface, giving the socks a soft and snug feeling. This material is proven to help reduce blisters while walking. As an added bonus, the socks feature a honeycomb design and pattern that work to prevent you from getting awkward horizontal lines on your feet, shins and ankles after wearing the socks for a long period.

Whilst socks are often treated as objects of function and fashion alone, these bamboo socks prove that well-designed socks can have a direct impact on your health and physical well-being as well.
