More than a fashion accessory, socks protect your feet and your shoes. And for healthy feet, nothing better than silk, which has multiple benefits.
Why wear silk socks?
1. Sanitary socks
Silk contains sericin, an antimicrobial and antibacterial agent. It also has the ability to reduce perspiration, thus keeping your feet in a healthy environment.
2. Comfortable socks
In addition to its incomparable softness, silk is naturally hypoallergenic. It is perfect for sensitive feet. In addition, it is thin and offers an ideal second skin effect in case of heat or when you use them as socks.
3. Thermo-regulating socks
Silk is a material capable of adapting to body temperature. So it is refreshing in summer and keeps you warm in winter. Moreover, silk socks are often used for winter sports. By putting them under your usual socks, you will retain heat even better for feet protected from the cold.
4. Resistant and durable socks
Silk is one of the most robust materials available. For the same diameter, silk thread is as strong as steel wire. Thus, silk is one of the fabrics best able to withstand time for lasting use.
How to choose the right silk socks?
