As the main force bearing part of the human body, the comfort of the foot directly affects the health of the whole body, and socks have a role that can not be ignored. When purchasing and using socks, the following suggestions are made:
1. It depends on whether there are instructions for use (i.e. product identification) on the product and its packaging, including whether there are Chinese marks, whether the manufacturer's name and address, product name, product model or specification, fiber composition and content, maintenance methods, product standards implemented, and the safety category of the product are indicated. The contents of different forms of identification should be consistent.
2. Select appropriate materials. There are many kinds of socks on the market, which should be purchased according to the purpose and wearing object. For example, the daily wear is mainly comfortable and breathable, and the socks mainly made of cotton fiber plus an appropriate amount of elastic fiber are preferred; Soft and wear-resistant socks should be worn during sports. Those with sweaty feet should choose socks that are both breathable and moisture absorbing; Children's socks should be simple in structure, light in color and smooth in surface.
3. Check the structure of socks. The sock mouth and sock tube should be properly tightened, the sock bottom should be loose, the heel of the sock should be large, the sock surface should be smooth, the rib should be flush without deflection, the stitch pattern should be clear, and the pattern, sock head and sock heel should not have exposed needles.
4. Select the appropriate size. The size of socks is marked according to the foot length suitable for wearing, and consumers can choose according to their own foot length. In addition, we should also choose socks with appropriate tightness, especially for infants and young children. The skin is delicate, while the blood circulation of the elderly is slow. If the socks are too tight, the blood circulation will be impeded, causing discomfort.
5. When purchasing, you can smell whether the product has a special smell. If it has a special smell, it may contain harmful substances, so you should be careful when purchasing.
6. When washing socks, do not rub them hard to prevent the socks from slipping out or breaking after strong friction; The water temperature for washing socks should not exceed 40 ℃, otherwise the socks will shrink after being heated, the soles will become smaller, and even the socks will become hardened and deteriorated. In order to maintain the original luster of socks, it is best not to use soap containing too much alkali. Just rub it with your hands, rinse it with water, and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade.
