I had my feet checked out last week and overall they were quite good, however apart from the varies creams and lotions to apply daily he suggested bamboo socks.. So not knowing much about them and also wondering if they really exist or was he making a cheap joke I bought half a dozen pairs (have not yet arrived) anyway question is Has anybody used them and what benefits have they given?
 
Hi @John987, I have some socks made from bamboo. I live in a hot summer (up to 40 degree C) and cool winter (usually above 0 degrees C). I also wear socks of cotton and elastane/wool but not outright synthetics (too sweaty) in summer and jot warm in winter). I find not difference between the bamboo and the other types of sock I wear.
I tend to wear hiking boots for walking and wear two sock on each foot, the inner of wool/elastane ,the outer of cotton. That way any friction tends to be distributed between the sock layers rather just between my skin and the inner lining of the boots.
 
I was wearing them for a plenty of time. At first I was trying to convince myself they're better, more organic (like really?) than other socks, I read an article about bamboo materials for clothes and was pretty impressed. But now I feel they are mostly overhyped

OMG yes! I love them, have every single one, even that help me with treatment of my feet. I believe that socks are an essential part of every person. I always look at socks to determine either person is good or no.

Hello Crystal, my name is Glen. I'm T1 diabetic.
 
I bought 12 pairs from Amazon and they're great - warm, soft, comfortable. What more could you ask?
