What socks do I buy?
Now, let’s talk about socks. But first, let’s talk about feet. Hanging out way down there at the bottom of our body—feet are easy to forget, unless, of course, they begin to hurt, blister, sweat, or itch. Can you relate? It’s easy to take our feet for granted until something goes awry. Like, for example, socks that bunch or rub or release harmful chemicals when we sweat. Not so fun. Our sweet feet deserve the best!
Cultures around the world hold feet in high regard. Many Eastern traditions consider meridian points (or energy pathways) at the base of the feet to have direct links to corresponding organs in the body. Reflexology, acupressure, acupuncture, and aromatherapy are some of the popular therapies that address specific ailments and overall health through treatment of the feet. That said, there is much to consider in relation to how we care for this essential part of our body.
If you have sensitive feet—prone to irritation—or fungus, it is crucial to consider what you put on them. Most feet sweat a lot, especially during exercise. When sweat mixes with the pesticides, synthetic dyes, and in some cases, formaldehyde laced in our socks, those chemicals release and mix up with our skin, causing agitation. No matter what one's level of sensitivity, everyone can benefit from wearing organic cotton socks. The absence of harsh chemicals makes for a much better product that is noticeably more comfortable and has greater longevity.
Buy socks that have at least 90% cotton, hemp, linen, or wool.
