The Top 5 Benefits of Toe Socks
Toe socks are popular with runners and hikers as they are designed to match the natural shape of our feet to optimize natural function, prevent skin-on-skin rubbing and improve breathability. This gives a wide array of health benefits from toe socks such as preventing blisters, skin redness and compressed, sore toes.
What are toe socks?
Toe socks are socks with separate toe sleeves that work with your natural foot shape and anatomy. Socks, in general are bade to create a barrier between our feet and shoes to help wick away sweat, minimize friction and rubbing and all in all, protect our skin. Toe socks take this a step further by making that barrier wrap and protect all the skin on our feet, including that between our toes. With new and better technology, toe socks can be stitched with strong, light weight yarn with little or no seams at all, making them a very real alternative to the standard tube shape socks and no longer an uncomfortable, bright colored gimmick.
