Cotton Wick
Bless cotton socks!
Natural materials such as wool and cotton, have been used to manufacture socks. For heat, a pair of thick woolen socks is the best option in most environments. But to absorb the sweat of the foot, allowing it to breathe, you can not really overcome to cotton socks.
Our feet take a lot of tension. They carry the weight of our body, cushioning the impact of each step give. There are 26 bones, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles and tendons in each of our feet, all of which play a role in protecting the rest of our body stresses and strains of everyday movement. Therefore, it only makes sense that we care for them.
Feet sweat for a reason. The Moisture keeps the skin soft and flexible, so that our feet can move comfortably, and protects them from cracking and irritation. Their feet have more glands sweat glands per inch than any other area of your body, feet and each producing between a cup and a quart of sweat every day. Unfortunately, the byproduct of sweat is the smell familiar, unpleasant. This is caused by bacteria that live on the skin. They feed on the sweat and the smell is produced by the waste they excrete. Unfortunately, the men's feet sweat even more than women, often making the problem much worse for men (or rather, men's socks, as is usually the socks are smell).
So while we do not keep our feet sweating we do, for social reasons, want to prevent the unpleasant smell that comes with the sweating. There are several ways we can.
By To begin, wear cotton socks. It's okay if you include other materials, and lycra to ensure a good fit, but must be made mainly of cotton (cold weather socks, wool is a good alternative.) socks help cotton wick moisture from the skin, and away from the bacteria that live in it, so you get less to eat, and therefore excrete less of the smelly waste. Socks for men, in particular, should contain as much natural fiber such as cotton or wool as possible.
Also, make sure your shoes are too tight. When possible, wear breathable fabrics like leather, canvas or leather, and shoes instead of boots, sandals instead of shoes. This allows the sweat absorbed by the cotton socks to evaporate, again denying the bacteria food. Both men's socks and shoes are often not equipped carefully, and this can cause pain and odor.
Finally, wash your feet regularly in warm (not hot) water, using soap antibacterial, and change socks at least once a day. socks for men and women should be careful never washed and dried, and used more than once. cotton socks quickly dries out and the fresh air helps give a lovely fresh smell.
So there you have it – clean, cotton socks (Especially in men's socks), shoes that fit properly and you will naturally happy feet. Bless their little cotton socks!
