What socks to wear in summer when it's very hot?
Sweating is a completely normal mechanism that helps regulate our body temperature. But in the summer, when it's very hot, excessive sweating of the feet can be very uncomfortable. Socks can trap heat and moisture, creating an environment conducive to the proliferation of bacteria and the appearance of blisters. To keep your feet dry, it is important to choose the right socks. At Maison Broussaud, we had to offer you a selection of suitable socks. While wearing socks in the summer may seem counterintuitive, it is actually an excellent way to keep your feet cool and dry.
Why wear socks in summer?
In summer, our feet make us suffer because we are first hot in the extremities. We might be tempted to get rid of our socks to "free" our feet. However, it is essential for the health and hygiene of the feet to continue to wear socks with your closed shoes even in summer to:
- Absorb sweat: Socks absorb sweat from your feet, preventing it from soaking into your shoes. This helps reduce unpleasant odors and prevents bacteria from growing.
- Regulate temperature: Contrary to what you might think, wearing thin socks in summer can help keep your feet cool. Indeed, breathable materials allow air to circulate and wick away moisture.
- Protect your feet: Socks protect your feet from rubbing in your shoes and thus prevent blisters and irritation.
What sock material should you choose when you don’t want to sweat?
When it's very hot, opt for natural and breathable materials like cotton, linen, merino wool or bamboo. These materials wick away sweat and dry quickly, allowing your feet to stay fresh and comfortable all day long. Discover our Maison Broussaud selection of women's cotton socks and men's cotton socks made in France in our workshop in Haute-Vienne.
Avoid wearing socks that are too tight.
Socks that are too tight can compress your feet and prevent good blood circulation, which can increase the feeling of heat and promote sweating. Choose socks that are the right size with a comfortable fit, which hug the shape of your foot without squeezing it. At Maison Broussaud, we prioritize quality and comfort in the manufacture of all our sock models to allow you to be comfortable in your socks and therefore in your shoes. We also offer a non-compressing sock model , available in beige or black, for maximum comfort.
Low socks, a summer essential
Opt for summer socks that are preferably thin and short, such as invisible socks or low socks. Avoid mid-calf socks because they tend to retain heat. For maximum freshness and freedom, low socks are the queens of summer . They adapt to all styles and all shoes depending on their height, from sneakers to loafers. Discover our low socks for men.
Light-colored socks repel heat
Finally, choose light colors because these are colors that reflect heat. Conversely, dark colors absorb it. So choose white, gray or beige socks for this summer, to get urgently from your French manufacturer Maison Broussaud !
