Frequently Asked & Questions
Where are the socks made?
Our socks are designed by our German team and then manufactured in Indonesia under strict supervision to ensure best quality. You can learn more about socks, how are they made and what benefits they offer.
Do you really need to wear socks?
With the rise of boat shoes and the ever-popular flip flop, spring and summer are the seasons a lot of people go sock-free. While we often make sacrifices for the sake of fashion, we have a few words of warning for those skipping the sock drawer altogether.
Socks are important for the overall health of your feet. Not only do socks absorb moisture, but they are also used to help prevent rubbing of shoes on the bare foot. Socks can also provide cushioning to pad the feet and help keep them warm. As we are going into the fall and winter months, socks can help prevent cold feet and even frostbite. Specialty socks, such as compression stockings, can improve circulation and prevent leg fatigue as well.
What are some of the complications that can come from choosing to skip the socks?
Wearing socks keeps the feet dry and prevents conditions such as athlete’s foot. Going sockless can result in conditions such as blisters or sores on the foot. Also, odour can develop if you don’t wear socks, since your feet have a lot of sweat glands.
Athlete’s foot would have to be treated by a local podiatrist or family doctor. It can become itchy and may need prescription medication to resolve the symptoms. As odour develops in your shoes, it could potentially ruin them.
The best time to go without socks is at night. This gives your feet a chance to air out. Other times to go without socks would be when wearing water shoes or showering.
My favourite type of socks are the ones that wick away moisture, especially during the humid summer months. Keeping the feet dry and free from sweat prevents infections and blisters.
What can people do if they don’t like the appearance of socks?
Voted has so many fashionable socks! There are different types of socks to complement almost any style of shoe. Socks can be used as a fashion statement or conversation piece. Have fun with it!
There can be something oddly satisfying about wearing sneakers without socks. Your feet feel light, and there’s no bulky sock between you and your shoe. Perhaps you know deep-down that it’s not good for you, and maybe that’s part of the appeal of skipping out on socks. You might be fine at first, but this bad habit will catch up with you.
