I love a nice pair of comfortable socks. Even better if they are functional for a specific purpose. I was surprised a few years back after buying a pair of bamboo socks, to find how soft and comfortable they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My favorite socks are now my bamboo socks for everyday use and exercise. If I go on a longer hike or am cold, I put on my wool socks, and they always help my feet stay warm and blister-free. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The nice thing about bamboo and wool is that they are sustainable fibers and odor resistant. The wool from sheep is good at wicking moisture and so are the fibers of the bamboo plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good socks are well constructed and use a variety of types of fibers to increase wear and sock strength. Some sock brands now have a one-year guarantee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When hiking, I will use my bamboo socks for a short hike up to two hours (unless it’s a rough rocky trail) and use my wool sock for anything over an hour since more moisture and rubbing will start to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n
