How to recognize good socks?

We all wear them on our feet. Mostly a forgotten piece of clothing: socks! Anyone who has ever had painful blisters on the feet or has been annoyed by bad smelling feet after a hard day at work, knows how important this little piece of clothing is. In the following blog post you will learn how to recognize a good quality sock and what you should look for when buying socks next time.

 

The right sock for the right project.
Even the best business sock in the world will not be beneficial for hiking. Just as little as a ski sock is suitable for the warm office routine. Thus, it is always important to consider for which application you need which sock. Think about which areas of the foot will be most stressed in your endeavor and whether they are well protected. For example, our Ski socks also padded at the shin. So that the stressed zones are protected.

 

The quality of the material

One of the most important quality features of a good sock is the quality of the processed material. You can tell how high quality a material is, for example, by special ISO certifications or by the specified labels. The mixing ratio of the different materials is also important. We offer a wide range of innovative and technological materials. Get to know our materials better here!

The processing of the sock
As always, the first impression makes a lot of difference. What does the quality look like? Does the sock look high quality or rather not. You can also usually tell the quality when you feel it. If you pull the sock apart slightly, does it deform when you pull it? How was the waistband processed, does it expand quickly? High quality socks keep their shape and are durable. In addition, they have a flat seam (chained in the toe area), so that the skin is not irritated. The type of dyeing is also decisive for the quality. If the socks are dyed only afterwards, this does not speak for the fulfillment of the best quality standards. Our socks are all made with dyed yarn, so we ensure that the color is not lost after several washes.

 

The size and fit of the sock
Does the sock come in different sizes? Good quality socks come in different sizes and in the best case are ergonomically shaped for a perfect fit. Socks that are available in universal sizes may be unsuitable for your feet.
