Everyone
loves a good pair of socks. Your feet will not only thank you, it can
literally put a pep in your step and make a difference in your
effectiveness.
Regular socks, be they woolen, cotton or more
exotic materials like bamboo, are a big step up from nylon or acrylic
blend, especially when it comes to smell. However, science has advanced
and offers some other alternatives.
After a sweaty workout, long
travel, or in the morning, you'll definitely appreciate the difference a
pair of clean dry socks makes, even more so if they're comfortable and
not stinky. Speaking of comfortable, non-stinky socks, the clever minds
behind
Glovax gloves would like to
introduce their MP Magic socks, which they claim are the "
world's best odorless socks".
These socks are made from some very unique materials. The fabric is infused with not one, not two, but
three antimicrobial metals: silver, copper, and zinc, because multiple metals can kill multiple types of odor and disease-causing microbes.
Silver is known as a great antibacterial meta used in everything from bandages to homeopathic potions,
copper can also kill bacteria and is a key component of many enzymes,
and zinc can reduce bacterial loads and thus odor too!
This
three-metal-infused technique takes existing techniques to the next
level by layering them for increased coverage and effects.
I
wear boots all day, every day, which is pretty rough for any sock. I
hike, train and work in my boots. During winter, I like to leave my
socks on because I'm very tall and my feet stick out of the covers. Even
with daily sock changes and foot washing, that takes a toll. I received
a pair of these socks and decided to try out the same pair for a week
to see how they'd hold up. I chose the ankle socks because I was purely
interested in the foot effects, and they were great!
With
these functional fabrics, you can take off your shoes without any
hesitation over worrying about their smell. After a week's worth of
almost constant wear, including a four-hour hike and a few hours of
Viking training, my feet felt great and smelled pretty good too. The
socks are breathable and even when my feet got hot and sweaty, a quick
pullout and wave-around both cooled and dried them. I think that comes
down to the metal infusion of the fabric, but the design and cut of the
sock certainly come into it. More than just a modern miracle textile,
Glovax specially designed the socks at the toe and heel area to
perfectly match the human foot shape, which makes that part super
breathable and durable!
With
their metal-infused fabric, these socks are designed to transfer heat
more efficiently and be more durable! Odorless, comfortable,
antibacterials, super durable and breathable, I gave them a pretty solid
thrashing and they bounced back well. They work well as advertised,
and are comfortable and resilient day after day.
OF NOTE: The Glovax team just finished a campaign about a set of rugged cool
work gloves which are also well worth checking out.
