It is understood that many people can recognize the importance of a pair of sports shoes for athletes, and often overlook the protective effect of sports socks on athletes. Even those who love sports, there are many people who lack awareness of sports socks, In this regard, I will brief you on the importance of sports socks for athletes.

The important role played by socks in sports is comparable to that of shoes. A pair of suitable socks can help you reduce the impact of the sole on the foot, reduce blisters, keep your feet warm, and provide certain foot protection. The common socks in the market are mostly socks made of man-made fibers (acrylic). They are non-slip, non-absorbent, and have no cushioning and elasticity. Therefore, if you are a regular athlete, you must go to a sports shop to buy socks.

According to different types of sports, the standard for choosing sports socks is not the same. Designers said that when running, we must first choose pure cotton socks, running when the soles of the feet sweat easily, and pure cotton socks are sweat-absorbent, good breathability characteristics. Second, it should be noted that the stitches at the sock point should be flat seams to prevent rubbing the toes. Third, the middle of the socks should be tightly closed to prevent the socks from slipping and affecting the movement. Finally, the size of the socks should be moderate.

The basketball sport is very strong in jumping. It is best to choose sports socks that are good in elasticity and can protect the ankles and slightly thick pure cotton socks. Football is a highly antagonistic sport. In order to protect the knee, leg shields are often used. Therefore, socks that can wrap the knee are needed. With regard to roller skating that is now more popular among young people, sports socks should be selected to have a length that is at least higher than that of the upper so that the inner sleeve does not directly contact and rub against the skin. Some socks in the ankle and other parts of the seamed leather, increase wear resistance and comfort. Yoga trainers mainly practice the flexibility and balance of the body and are generally barefooted. However, training in public places such as the gym, because people are more, plus sweating on the soles of the feet, it is easy to stain with a variety of bacteria, so it is best to wear double socks. At this point should choose the kind of softness, socks have anti-skid particles, absorbent cotton socks. It is very important for climbers' socks to be slippery. In addition, the heel of the sock is preferably thicker to reduce the impact on the ankle when the foot is on the ground and protect the ankle joint. Choosing a pair of good wool texture mountaineering socks can help you experience the fun of climbing.

In summary, basically the following five principles should be taken into consideration when choosing sports socks.

The first is pure cotton texture and good sweat absorption.

The second is good elasticity, and there can be no feeling of footwork.

Third, the thinness of socks should be moderate, and it is necessary to decide whether thinning is thick or thick according to specific conditions. In general, people who are prone to sweating should choose a little thicker, and vice versa. Some sports, such as badminton, socks are too thick to affect the foot, so buy a little thin.

Fourth, the anti-slip properties of socks are better. It is better not to choose artificial (acrylic) fibers or blended ones.

Fifth, if there is an injury to the ankle, thick socks should be worn to protect the ankle.
