Foot Odour: Silver fibre in BEST4FEET® will eliminate 99,9% of bacteria within one hour resulting in an instant reduction of foot odour. Foot Perspiration (Hyperhidrosis) Silver will enhance the evaporation of moisture, therefore foot perspiration is reduced. A dryer foot climate is created. Blisters and swollen skin can be prevented. The silver fibre becomes more effective in a warm or wet environment. Cold Feet: Silver minimises the radiative heat loss by actively reflecting 95% of the body´s energy back to the skin. BEST4FEET® socks with silver fibre are therefore much warmer when compared to conventional socks. Silver has one of lowest radiant heat loss rates and therefore keeps warmth longer. Heat not reflected to the body is stored. BEST4FEET® keep warm in winter, cool in summer. Athletes Foot: The organism Mycosis (fungus) responsible for Athletes Foot will spread in a humid environment and with temperatures conditions below 33° C. The silver in BEST4FEET® is anti mycotic and will destroy the living base of the fungus. This is achieved by regulating the temperature (to body core temperature of 37° C) and reduction of perspiration (by evaporation management). Heavy Legs: Silver in BEST4FEET® long socks activate blood circulation by creating a magnetic field. Reduce oedema and prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT or Economy Syndrome). Ideal on travel. Prevent bacterial infections of the skin. Static Charges: Silver has the highest electrical conductivity rating therefore static electricity can be extremely efficiently dissipated resulting in ESD* safe socks suitable for use in EPA** environments.BEST4FEET® are proven medical products, free from any hazardous substances tested to OEKOTEX 100 standard. They are being applied in medical Podiatry, Dermatology, Diabetic Treatment and for Occupational Medical Purposes. Also suitable to use for Dermatitis, Hyperhidrosis and Eczema.
Can be machine washed without loss of effect.
