Frequently asked questions about functional socks
Functional socks for safer steps
A well-thought-out functional sock provides support for the foot, reduces friction, and keeps the skin dry all day long. This is especially important for sensitive feet, diabetics, the elderly who want to feel safe, professionals who stand for long periods of time, and people with osteoarthritis. Here you will find models where fit, material, and smart details work together. Merino wool and technical synthetic fibres wick away moisture and even out the temperature, so that the foot feels dry and comfortable. A seamless toe reduces the risk of chafing, while soft elastic keeps the sock in place without restricting blood flow. Padded zones can relieve pressure on the heel and footbed, and anti-slip underfoot provides a firmer grip on the floor.
