What's the difference of towel socks? What's so good about it? Straight to the point, for sports socks, the towel bottom design plays a role in cushioning and protection. Sports socks are mostly worn during exercise, so in the process of running or playing, wearing sports socks with towel bottoms has a significant shock absorption effect.
For example, you need to wear professional basketball socks when playing basketball. Because during the process of take-off and landing, the feet will feel vibration, so socks and shoes need to have some shock-absorbing design. The terry bottom, also known as the towel bottom design, has a certain thickness, which can slow down the shock and at the same time play a protective role, which is beneficial to protect the feet.
The bottom of the towel feels very thick to the touch, so the sweat absorption effect will be better than ordinary thin socks. Moreover, professional sports socks have a good perspiration effect, and will not collect sweat on the socks after absorbing it like cotton socks. Cotton is a material that has good moisturizing properties, but it is not necessarily an advantage for socks. Wearing pure cotton socks will feel hot and humid after exercising. This is because the absorbed sweat is not diffused. The design of the towel bottom will solve this problem to a certain extent.
