How to buy the right socks?

As we all know, feet are the “second heart” of people. Therefore, choosing the right socks is more important than wearing good shoes. Although socks are small, it is not easy to buy a suitable pair. In this regard, the United States Delimax Socks Expert Group made the following recommendations:
1. Less wool socks
Socks made of this material have poor sweat-absorbing effect, which can easily make feet in a wet state and cause blisters. Generally, it is best to choose cotton socks, but if you want to exercise, it is recommended to buy corduroy socks, which can absorb sweat better.
2. Fit and size are very important
Socks should fit perfectly and should not be too tight or loose. If the sock is too large, the extra fiber will aggravate the friction and damage the foot skin. The color should be consistent with the inside of the shoe as much as possible. The lighter color is preferred when buying children’s socks. The brighter the color is, the more chemical ingredients are added inside.
3. Pay attention to fiber density
When buying socks, you should pay attention to the fiber density of socks. It is not recommended to buy socks that are too loose. Remember the six-word formula of “tight, loose, bright and clear”, that is, the tightness of the sock mouth and sock tube is appropriate, the sock bottom should be loose, the heel of the sock should be large, the surface of the sock should be smooth, the rib should be flat without skew, the needle texture should be clear, and the pattern, sock head, and sock heel should not have exposed needles. In addition, each person should also prepare several pairs of high-quality socks such as toe socks and arch socks.
4. Pay attention to the washing method
When washing socks, do not rub them hard to prevent the socks from slipping out or breaking after strong friction; The water temperature for washing socks should not exceed 40 ℃, otherwise the socks will shrink after being heated, the soles will become smaller, and even the socks will harden and deteriorate. In order to maintain the original luster of socks, it is best not to use soap with too much alkali, just rub it with your hands, rinse it with clean water, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade.
