Football socks are an indispensable basic equipment for every player. They not only provide protection and support, but also have functional and trendy attributes. So, how to choose a pair of football socks that suit you? What details should be paid attention to in use and care? Let's find out together.
1. Professional player version socks are generally made of lycra cotton, but the disadvantage is that the price is too high; generally speaking, towel-bottomed socks have the best cost-effectiveness. There are no real pure cotton socks for football socks. Generally, the cotton yarn content of football socks is about 60% to 85%. Socks need a certain degree of elasticity, which requires a certain amount of elastic fiber (usually spandex) to be added during the weaving process. For example, Lycra (actually a kind of spandex from DuPont) is the best material for skin contact. Generally, the whole pair of socks will not be made of Lycra (many socks are marked as only for the sock opening). In order to strengthen and elasticize the sock toe, heel and cuff, synthetic fibers are often used, and the two together account for about 15-40%. So what we call pure cotton (all-cotton) socks refers to the yarn that is all-cotton except for elastic fibers and hanging threads.
2. There is no necessary connection between the thickness of socks and blistering. Wearing two layers of socks is more likely to slip, and the feet are naturally more likely to blister.
3. It is best not to use a washing machine to wash the socks, which will make the socks lose their elasticity, and do not soak for more than 20 minutes.
