Trainer socks for the summer

Short answer: Trainer socks are the shortest type of sock and are worn with low shoes in summer. They cover least and therefore take up the least moisture, which means a daily change.

Ending below the shoe edge

The trainer sock should end just below the edge of the shoe to be invisible. See bamboo trainer socks for women.

Heel grip

A silicone edge at the heel keeps the sock up. Without it, it slips down easily.

Moisture

Because there is little fabric, the trainer sock takes up less moisture than an ordinary sock. Change daily.

For men

See the corresponding models in bamboo trainer socks for men.

The alternative

If you would rather see the top of the sock, the ankle style is safer. See all bamboo socks for women.

Smell

The foot gives off the same amount of moisture whatever the length of the sock. See socks and smell in shoes.

Washing

40 degrees and air drying, so the silicone edge holds. See the washing guide.

How many pairs

Worn daily all summer, one pair wears out fast. Seven pairs mean you can wash once a week. See all bamboo socks for women.
