There are a lot of unsupported claims in that report. Bamboo may well have chemicals that are anti-fungal and deter insects, but that doesn't mean that the extracted fibres carry the same property. They may be soft, but so is wool and silk,both well used natural products. I do get eczema, but never on my feet. I've never had athlete's foot, or any other fungal infection on my feet. And currently, my criterion for socks is not what they are made of, if they won't go on my device for putting my socks on (I can't do it without help) then they are thrown out.
I got some to try as they have a soft grip so I don't get any compression lines round my legs.
I had the same problem, but I stopped wearing socks altogether, my feet have been ok In fact they have Improved, no more cramp, no more numbness or pins and needles, I think that is more down to a change In diet more than not wearing socks! but It works for meI got some to try as they have a soft grip so I don't get any compression lines round my legs.
