We have sold Bamboo socks for the past few years at our clinic, and I am asked why? This blog will answer this question. I would like to thank Bamboo Village for this information, as they wrote this more succinctly than I every could, and I will add my own little story at the end.
People sometimes wonder why those who try our bamboo socks often refuse to wear anything else but our great bamboo socks afterwards. There are many reasons why people fall in love with our bamboo socks, not least because they are genuinely better for your feet. Here’s why:
- Walk in greater comfort – The superior comfort really treats your feet beautifully – wave goodbye to rubbing, chafing and discomfort. The high quality bamboo socks that we supply are gently cushioning, as if the wearer is walking on thick carpet. This helps maintain wonderful comfort levels for your feet throughout the day.
- Enjoy the right temperature -Unlike other fabrics, this comfort can be maintained in all kinds of temperatures, thanks to the thermo-regulating fabric. Feet need to ‘breathe’ to stay healthy and the bamboo fabric allows feet to stay cool in the heat and stay comfortably warmon colder days.
- Avoid moisture – Feet should stay dry to avoid fungal infections and other uncomfortable conditions. Bamboo fabric helps wearers keep pleasantly dry feet thanks to the hollow structure of the fibres which makes it super-absorbent. This means that the material effectively wicks moisture away from the skin. Bamboo is very breathable and far better in this respect than cotton or wool socks.
- Eliminate odour – Most people would like their feet to remain fresh and odour-free. Our bamboo socks are composed of naturally anti-bacterial bamboo fibres which drastically reduce foot odour. In fact, tests by the Japanese textile industry have shown that this bamboo fabric eliminates over 70% of introduced odour-creating bacteria. Naturally, this is a very pleasant benefit in addition to the superior comfort of the socks.
- Care for your skin – Sensitive skins are well looked after by the bamboo fabric, which is hypo-allergenic. The eco-friendly bamboo fibres are more gentle than many manmade fibres and do not irritate the skin in the same way. Better still, the bamboo we use is 100% organically grown, so there are no traces of pesticides or other chemicals close to your skin.
When we first started selling this product, I must admit I was a little dubious about the claims. But I had the perfect guinea pig to try this on. I had a long time patient who had many issues with his socks and foot odour. This lovely guy was working 2 jobs to support his family. He usually did close to 15 hour days, and wore work boots. When he came in for his feet to be done, his skin would always be waterlogged, it was whiteand mushy, and the smell was incredible. Now I have treated patient for 25 years, and have smelt a lot of feet, but this poor guy won first prize! It even made me sick when he took his shoes off!
Now this guy was not dirty, was not really a sweaty type, but because he had his feet encased for 15 hours a day in boots, they would sweat. He would change socks at least twice a day, and use every type of anti-perspirant known to man to deal with this, but to no avail!So I got him to change to the bamboo socks, there are a range of socks from business socks, to work socks, etc. We got him the workmen ones, and saw him in another 2 months.
2months ticked along, when he arrived, he had a big smile on his face, took off his shoes, and NO ODOUR! I kid you not, there was no cloud of foot odour hanging around in my room, and his skin was perfect, no white, mushy pitted skin that I was always trying to debride, and it cut like rubber, so I could never get a nice smooth finish. His feet were perfect. Needless to say, this will not happen in every case, but we found out once this product was used by this patient, he actually didn’t have any foot conditions for us to deal with. So he has now drifted into the sunset, with beautiful, dry and odour free feet!
We decided this month to offer a special on our Bamboo socks to see if they can help your foot problem, as you can see from our flyer, it is a great offer, but remember, we have limited stock, and this ends at the end of May, so first in best dressed.
Thanks for reading, Narelle

Log in to ReplyBamboo is a good option for keeping the feet free of moisture. I am wondering if these were tested for anti-bacterial protection in the lab, with the most common types of bacteria. 100% organic all-natural antibacterials are another option.
Some of the newer socks like Care Remote’s advanced textiles have moisture channels that move moisture up and away from the feet, for evaporation.
We also have to think about the weave and the sock’s design. Here are some examples of anti-odor socks that maintain dryness throughout the day:Great article!

Bamboo socks have gained popularity due to their numerous benefits for foot health. These socks offer exceptional comfort, temperature regulation, moisture-wicking properties, anti-odor features, and care for sensitive skin. Here's a breakdown of the concepts and terms mentioned in the article:
-
Comfort: Bamboo socks provide superior comfort due to their gentle cushioning effect, akin to walking on thick carpet. This comfort helps alleviate rubbing, chafing, and general discomfort associated with other fabrics.
-
Temperature Regulation: Unlike some fabrics, bamboo maintains comfort across various temperatures. It allows feet to stay cool in warm conditions and warm in colder weather, thanks to its thermo-regulating properties.
-
Moisture-Wicking: Bamboo's hollow fibers make it highly absorbent, effectively wicking moisture away from the skin, keeping feet dry. This feature helps prevent fungal infections and discomfort caused by moisture accumulation.
-
Odor Elimination: The naturally antibacterial properties of bamboo fibers reduce foot odor significantly. Tests by the Japanese textile industry demonstrated that bamboo fabric eliminates over 70% of introduced odor-creating bacteria.
-
Hypoallergenic and Skin Care: Bamboo fabric is hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. Its eco-friendly, organic growth ensures no traces of pesticides or harmful chemicals that might irritate the skin.
The anecdotal evidence provided in the article also demonstrates the effectiveness of bamboo socks in addressing specific foot conditions. A patient with persistent foot odor and moisture issues saw significant improvement after switching to bamboo socks. The socks helped maintain dry, odor-free feet, and resolved the skin problems caused by prolonged moisture exposure.
Moreover, there are some inquiries and additional information shared in the comments section:
- Rahima Patel asked about obtaining workmen bamboo socks in the UK.
- Gail Taylor inquired about anti-slip features in the socks for an elderly person with hammer toes.
- Several comments shared links and recommendations for other bamboo sock providers or alternative sock technologies emphasizing moisture control and antibacterial protection.
The article's conclusion invites readers to take advantage of a special offer on bamboo socks to address foot problems, emphasizing the limited stock and the offer's deadline.
So, whether it's addressing foot odor, moisture-related skin issues, or seeking comfortable, hypoallergenic socks, bamboo socks seem to offer a comprehensive solution. The comments section also reveals a broader market trend with various providers offering similar products and alternatives.
