Women choose wrong socks, beware of health hazards

According to the latest article in the American magazine Yue Ji, there are three situations, which means that your socks should be eliminated.

1. Loss of elasticity

Socks lose elasticity, which will increase friction with both feet. If you don’t follow your feet when walking or exercising, you will feel slippery if you sweat, and you will be easily injured.

2. The heel is thin and has holes

Socks will become thinner after wearing for a long time, which will also cause heel injury or blistering.

3. Uncomfortable to wear

If your feet are tight, itchy, or have obvious marks of strangulation, your socks are not suitable.

how to buy suitable socks

Although socks are small, it is not easy to buy a suitable pair.

In this regard, the American delimax sock expert group put forward the following suggestions:

1. Choose less wool socks. Socks made of this material are not good at absorbing sweat, which is easy to make feet wet and cause blisters. In general, it is best to choose cotton socks, but if you go to exercise, it is recommended to buy Corduroy socks, which have better sweat absorption effect.

2. Fit and size are very important. Socks should fit perfectly, not too tight or too loose. If the socks are too large, the extra fibers will aggravate the friction and damage the skin of the feet.

3. Pay attention to the 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.

In addition, everyone should also prepare several pairs of high-quality socks such as toe separation socks and arch band socks.

As we all know, feet are the “second heart” of human beings. Therefore, choosing the right socks is more important than wearing a good pair of shoes.

some experts recommended several criteria for choosing Socks:

1. Remember the six character formula of “tight, loose, big, smooth and clear”. That is to say, the opening and tube of the sock should be properly elastic, the sole of the sock should be loose, the heel of the sock should be large, the surface of the sock should be smooth, the rib should be even without skew, the needle pattern should be clear, and the pattern, the head and heel of the sock should be free of exposed needles.

2. The color should be consistent with the shoe lining. When buying children’s socks, you should give priority to light colored ones. The brighter the color, the more chemical ingredients will be added.

3. Socks mainly made of cotton fiber and with appropriate amount of elastic fiber are preferred.

4. Considering its purpose and wearing object, for example, daily wear should be mainly comfortable and breathable, while sports wear should be mainly soft and wear-resistant; Those with sweaty feet should buy cotton socks that are both breathable and hygroscopic. Those with dry feet should buy Polyester socks and nylon socks with poor hygroscopicity; Children’s socks should try to choose socks with simple structure, light color and smooth surface, and do not choose socks with dotted lines exposed outside.

5. When washing socks, do not rub them vigorously to prevent 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 sole will become smaller, and even the socks will harden and deteriorate. In order to maintain the original luster of socks, it is better not to use soap containing too much alkali. Just rub it gently with your hands, rinse it with water, and dry it in a cool and ventilated place.
