Case Study on Bamboo Socks

We had one friend in particular that had unpleasant feet problems, that is, he suffered from excessive moisture and swelling of the feet, creating quite a bit of discomfort and foot odor. As a result he changed his socks on a regular basis - two to three times a day. We already knew how comfortable our bamboo socks were, but giving them to our friend to try would be the ultimate test.

We asked him to try a pair of our bamboo socks. After the first day of wearing them, even we were surprised when we got the phone call. He stated that the difference was “night and day”. He asked us what was in the socks that could make such a dramatic difference? He further went on to say that while he knew his feet were sweating…somehow the socks were not wet. Additionally, he experienced no swelling in his feet as he always had before. We asked if he would mind wearing them for 3 straight days to really put them to the test, and he agreed to do so. The results at the end of day 3 were truly astonishing! Not only did his feet lack their usual perspiration, the socks were dry, his feet were softer and, (drum roll please) no foot odor!
