Wearing shoes without socks may be trendy, but you might be putting your health at serious risk.
Socks are designed to keep your feet safe from uncomfortable friction, bacteria and infections. Wearing shoes without socks can lead to perspiration in your feet which is absorbed by your footwear, setting up the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi to thrive, leaving your feet at risk.
So, the first thing to protect your feet is a sock. Socks provide an ideal environment by aiding in temperature and moisture control.
Here are reasons why shouldn’t wear shoes without socks.
1. Keep you from smelly feet
Socks help absorb sweat from your feet when they’re enclosed in shoes. Without the socks, feet sweat has nowhere to go, and the first noticeable symptom is the smell. smelly feet are almost the most noticeable symptoms when you don’t wear socks with shoes.
2. Protects your skin
Socks also protect the skin of your feet from rubbing on the soles of your shoes. When your feet continuously rub against the inside of your shoes, you can get blisters.
The first fight against blisters is the correct fitting of socks and shoes.
3. Saves your shoes
If the shoes you’re buying aren’t cheap, then you should protect them. When you don’t wear socks with your shoes, you expose your shoes to dirt that gets stuck to the bottom of your feet into your shoe. The shoes of the non-sock wearer will be black and dirty on the sole.
