Socks are a frequently used item in our daily lives, do you know what the purpose of socks is?
1. It plays a role in protecting and beautifying the feet.
2. When socks first appeared, they mainly served as foot protection, allowing the feet to be protected from cold currents in winter.
3. Socks, as a barrier between feet and shoes, can help absorb sweat and eliminate odors. If there is no such barrier, bacteria can easily breed in the feet, leading to redness and itching of the skin.
Especially in summer, people’s feet are prone to sweating. Wearing shoes without socks, especially shoes with poor breathability such as plastic sandals and travel shoes, can cause the skin of the feet to be directly soaked in sweat. Fungi can easily grow in humid and hot environments, leading to fungal infections in the feet and inducing athlete’s foot.
So, it is very necessary to wear socks on a daily basis.
