The difference between athletic socks and normal socks

What is athletic socks?

Athletics socks usually have breathable mesh, ribbed to keep the socks from slipping off, and fur rings on the soles of the feet. The athletic socks developed for safety reasons. Today, many athletics have a version of their own sock, from soccer socks that accommodate shin guards to football socks that pass the knee. There are basketball socks so specialized they are actually right/left foot specific. Many sport goods brands will produce their own athletic socks.

Professional custom athletic socks make you safer

Excellent athletic socks can really protect you from getting hurt while exercising. The soles of athletics socks are thicker than regular socks, which makes them more durable. Athletics socks usually add threads, which makes them less loose and safer to move. The sanitary layer was important because in the early 20th century it was thought fabric dyes could pose a health hazard to exposed wounds. Football’s knee sock was meant to protect the player’s legs from turf burns. A basketball sock can have cushioning for the ankle, padding for the ball of the foot and heel, and ribbing for support over the instep. All designed with respect to the jumps, cuts and slides in the basketball player’s footwork.

Because of its permeability and sweat, so in the summer wear will not be very hot. The most important consideration is probably moisture. Moisture can be so detrimental that there is a hazardous condition named for athletics, Athlete’s Foot. A fungal infection that can cause pain and impair function, clean socks and dry feet are an imperative to keep Athlete’s Foot at bay. The hydrophobic tendency of wool made it the best natural moisture wicking fabric prior to the late 20th century. Now, synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon are superior choices for using the fluid dynamics of capillary action to pull sweat from the body to the evaporative surface of the sock. Whether it’s fungal infection, or infections from excessive rubbing of blistered wounds, foot health for the professional, and amateur, athlete has never been better. Custom made socks allow you to choose more sweat-absorbing materials for yourself.
