Bamboo Sports Socks – For Running and Training

Short answer: Bamboo sports socks keep your feet dry during training, because bamboo viscose moves the sweat away from your skin. Dry feet mean less friction, fewer blisters and less odour, and that is why bamboo beats both cotton and pure synthetics for everyday exercise.

Why is the material so important in sport?

Cotton soaks up the sweat and becomes heavy and wet, and wet socks give you blisters. Bamboo viscose instead moves the moisture away from the skin, so your foot works dry. Read the full comparison in the article on bamboo for training.

The right sock for your workout

For running and fitness, short styles work best. See bamboo tennis socks for men and bamboo tennis socks for women, which sit firmly in your sneakers without slipping down. Women can match them with the rest of the range in bamboo activewear for women.

After your workout

Change your socks right after exercise and wash them at 30-40 degrees. Bamboo dries quickly and does not smell sour, even after many training sessions. If you generally struggle with sweaty feet, read the guide to bamboo socks for sweaty feet.
