Tips/stratagies for amazon workers to work more "comfortably" (applies to most warehouse workers as well)

Lately I've been seeing documentaries on the physically demanding working conditions at Amazon warehouses and felt like I needed to share some tips on how to work to make it a little bit easier (maybe, Idk, but it works for me). I work at a production warehouse where its also physically demanding. These types of jobs are usually hard on joints and feet so I will target those areas.

Feet:

Buy shoes or boots that absorb stepping shock. What stepping shock? When feet hit the ground while walking or running and the vibration of that contact transfers towards your feet and knees. At my workplace we are required to wear steel toe boots or shoes. I wear leather boots because they usually last longer than shoes made of cloth or fiber, so I get most for my money in the long term (even though they are a bit more expensive. Many of you might say "but leather boots make my feet sweaty", which I will get to on my next point. There is a lot more information on my post on workboot tips on r/Boots . Get quality boots or shoes from genuine stores. NO WALMART CRAP. Don't cheap out on what your are spending most of your days on. Don't buy from facebook or pintrest stores as well. They are usually poorly made shoes made from shit material. If you cheap out on this YOU WILL SUFFER. Boots are heavy, especially steel toe, but a lot of places don't even check so I suggest aluminum, carbon fiber or composite. I own a pair of I-90 wolverines with carbon fiber toe (not very expensive btw) and it is slightly lighter than steel, but after 8 hours you feel the difference. Wolverine also makes a sole technology called durashocks that I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend and I also have a tip to enhance the absorption a little later. TALCUM/GOLDBOND POWDER IS A LIFE SAVER. Friction and sweat are not a good combo. Get some good thick cotton socks reserved for work. Sprinkle some in the sock and close the opening with one hand and swish it around and then put it on. Goldbond is also great for areas prone to chaffing like your you know whats or you know wheres. This is great if you are wearing leather boots, since they are prone to make feet sweat and blister. Insoles or inserts: DON'T BUY GEL OR AIR TYPE INSERTS. It's a fucking gimmick. "Gel" is a polymer based substance that doesn't capture shock waves, Air is even worse because it transfers shock. What you should look for is foam inserts that have dense material. Yellow memory foam inserts to me are the best because of the density. Also layers matter as well. If your shoe or boot doesn't have a memory foam insole, I suggest buying this particular insert (I know amazon link hur dur). Why this one? because it is flat and you can add one more layer. If you have more room between the insole and your heel, and you think you can fit another small insert there, do so with this one. My wolverine I-90s have a memory foam footbed, and I paired it with those dr. scholls inserts and I feel very little to nothing after 12 hours. It's also small so you can have more toe room on top of the memory foam insert. Another reason to get boots instead of shoes is that boots act as a brace for your ankle. If you are walking and making fast maneuvers in the process, there is more of a risk for your ankle to twist if it is not supported right. I recommend 6 inch lace up boots.

Joints:

Joints are the parts that are going to take a lot of damage in these jobs. Repetitive stress injuries are dangerous because they cause fatigue and one wrong movement can ruin your health. BRACE YOURSELF. literally. lol. Brace every joint that you can that is going to move the most. I brace my knees, elbows, shoulders and lower back. "But Sirmandudeguy, I don't have any pain or problems in those areas, why do I need braces?" Well, neither do I, but I found out that bracing these areas greatly reduces the strain when working. It keeps the joints and ligaments mostly in place as reinforcement so you have less of chance of something slipping and causing an injury. The sooner you do this, the more effective it will be in the long run. Here are some links to what I have: here , here, and here . I have a double of each (with the knee braces I have two pairs ) so I can wash one and have the other ready. Usually it takes two to three days until they start smelling iffy and I just put them in the washer. It's kind of an expensive investment, but as they say its better to be safe than sorry. Glucosamine with MSM (thanks Joe Rogan for this tip). This is like oil for the joints. people think it for those with arthritis, but I suggest it even if you don't have it. It's kind of an expensive supplement, but I don't take the recommended dosage and usually take one right before work, and if I do OT I take another. It lasts me about two months with the bigger bottles. A lot of them are shellfish based, but there are plant based if you are allergic to shellfish or are vegan. It takes a while to really feel the effects since it needs a week or two to circulate in the blood system.

Other tips:

Melatonin supplements if you have trouble sleeping.

you can also add a bit of talcum powder on the braces if you sweat a lot.

soft sleeping earplugs if you are a light sleeper like me and work swing shift or overnight.

I hope this helps! Tell me if it does and if you have questions about work shoes or boots ask away! If you want to add please do!

Take care!

Every man must be left quite free to choose his own work. No form of compulsion must be exercised over him. If there is, his work will not be good for him, will not be good in itself, and will not be good for others. This is a drastic improvement, really. I like to think I purged from the first time I used the products. I have combo skin (oily t zone).. One day a fan was continuously riding the struggling outfielder from the stands, and Babe eventually snapped. He climbed into the seats in pursuit of the insult artist ("Ruth Turns on Blatant Fan Who Calls Him a 'Piece of Cheese'"), and the man pulled out a knife which Ruth later recalled looked "about a foot long." Someone intervened before either could get hurt. "I believe it was the very next day that I got going," Ruth said in his autobiography. For the interview wear either black dress pants/ skirt with a blouse and a blazer. Wear heels but closed toe ones. Then once you have the job it's easy to see how "casual" you can dress based on what other people are wearing. "So it is so it is," conceded Mrs. Harmon.

The Heavy Metal Toxicity Crisis, And How To Heal From It

Kim Daniela

What are heavy metals? Elements of relatively high density, or of high relative atomic weight. These elements can potentially be toxic and very dangerous, some even in low concentration. Researchers have identified that significant exposure to at least 23 different environmental metals can cause acute or chronic toxicity. However, the most commonly known are Mercury, Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Aluminium, Nickel, Uranium, and Thallium. These metals hang around in the body, especially hiding out in fat cells, and are similar to fat-soluble toxins in that they are difficult to get rid of. Body fat tries to protect the organs by trapping certain substances inside, including some metals, which causes them to linger. How do you know if you’re suffering from heavy metal poisoning? Take it from someone who has been, the symptoms are persistent, chronic, and affect so many of the body systems! Referencing Mercola.com and DrAxe.com, heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous system function, plus damage to the vital organs, such as the liver, heart, endocrine glands and kidneys. Acute metal toxicity is a lot easier to diagnose, and symptoms include: Sudden severe cramping and/or convulsions, nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, headache, difficulty breathing, impaired cognitive, motor and language skills, and tremors. At times acute symptoms can mimic those of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. Symptoms of chronic metal toxicity, however, are much more subtle, in large part because these symptoms are so common, such as: Fatigue, insomnia, digestive distress, aching joints, depression and anxiety, brain fog, difficulty concentrating and learning, impaired blood sugar regulation, skin irritation, female reproductive problems such as menstrual difficulties, infertility, miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension and premature birth. Heavy metal toxicity can also cause chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, including Lyme’s, dementia, bi-polar disorder, anemia, and cardiovascular problems. If you feel you might be suffering from toxicity, heavy metal testing is now widely available by via blood test or hair analysis (recommended). So where are these heavy metals found in our environment? The answer is everywhere: - In air pollution caused by traffic fumes, chem trails, cigarette smoke, radiation. - In a low quality diet, from consuming processed, non-organic and GM foods, along with farmed fish or those wild fish that are high in mercury - King mackerel, tilefish, swordfish, marlin, shark, ahi and big eye tuna see here. - In municipal drinking water: the water supply in many developed nations contain heavy metals, and use fluoride see here (dated at 2012), with added fluoride sourced from industrial waste by product. - In utero, heavy metals can be passed down from mother to child in pregnancy. - If you have received certain vaccinations see here, - From having mercury amalgam dental fillings. - From all manner of personal and household products, from cosmetics to antiperspirants, talcum powder, toothpastes, certain household cleaning products, pots and pans, paint, insecticides, baking powder, some canned foods, aluminium foil and plastic. Note that glyphosate, the herbicide most commonly known as Monsanto’s RoundUp, heavily toxic in it’s own right, also works synergistically with aluminium, causing it to be more toxic. I know this information might seem scary, but before jumping on the fear train let’s look at all the solutions that are available, if you’re ready to make the necessary changes to heal.. 1. Detoxing: there are various methods of heavy metal detox available, it is recommended to be under the supervision of a holistic or functional medicine practitioner, particularly if undergoing a more extreme form of detox. Chelation Therapy in particular, is a medical procedure that involves the administration of chelating agents via intravenous to remove heavy metals from the body. This can produce some severe side effects. You can take DMSA orally as a binding agent, similarly zeolite, pharmaceutical grade bentonite clay, activated charcoal, or a spirulina/chlorella/barley grass combo. Compliment these with high dose vitamin C, and if you can access a pharmaceutical grade glutathione. Taking a good probiotic is also necessary. Sweating is very important in this process! Cardio exercise, saunas or steam room sessions, detox baths with bentonite clay, or using the power combination of sea salt, epsom salt, apple cider vinegar, baking soda and a few drops of your favourite essential oil, are all recommended. 2. Diet: Is one of the most imperative elements of both minimizing the intake of heavy metals, and in detoxifying them. The Weston A Price dietary recommendations see here, written in 1920 hold just as true today. Optimal nutrition is essential in this process, because if you’re deficient in essential minerals, your body will use toxic metals as stand-in’s instead. Leafy greens, cilantro/coriander, foods rich in vitamin C, garlic and onions, soaked chia and flax seeds, and bone broth are all wonderful detoxes and healers. While detoxing, avoid non-organic foods, farmed fish, food allergens, processed foods/foods with additives, and alcohol. 3. Hydration: drink plenty of good quality water! A simple guideline is to drink half your body weight (pounds) in ounces of water. For those on metrics, do a conversion. When detoxing, you will want to drink even more than the recommended amount. Find a good quality water filtration system. I also use a water structurer. See one of my past articles here. In general, limit your exposure to heavy metals by: 1. Using glass, cast iron, titanium and enamel cookware. Replace all teflon and non-stick pots and pans as they leech toxins and heavy metals into the foods while you cook. Also remove or heavily limit the use of aluminium foil in your kitchen, and replace plastics with glass or enamel for food storage. 2. Avoiding cosmetics with aluminium bases, lead, and mineral powders that contain bismuth. In general, I recommend switching your traditional cosmetic products to mineral make up, due to the level of toxins contained within them. 3. Trading in anti-perspirants and traditional deodorants for their natural, heavy metal-free alternatives. 4. Using natural household cleaning products in place of chemically laden ones (also covered in this article). 5. Avoiding vaccinations that inject mercury or aluminium directly into your bloodstream! 6. Avoiding amalgam fillings, or if that’s too late for you, having them removed by a dentist that practices the SMART technique. 7. Avoiding stainless steel orthodontics. 8. Sleeping in a bed that doesn’t have a metal frame, and by having no metal furniture in the bedroom. 9. Avoiding smoking, and second hand smoke. Follow these guidelines and you can heal from heavy metal poisoning. Even if your symptoms aren’t acute but you feel you may need a detox, listen to your inner wisdom and do it! Warning, the quality of your health and with it your life, may transform..

for anyone who has dolls with bad glue seepage, Use goof off, rinse, then use Matrix Biolage Normalizing shampoo, then rinse again. Makes your Doll’s hair soft as a baby’s butt and makes it smell so nice.

If you want a more permanent solution, some talcum powder inside the head will absorb the oily glue and prevent seepage. But if you don’t mind washing your dolls heads from time to time, the goof off/shampoo combo is very good.

Beach Hacks: To Make The Summer A Blast

When the weather is hot, hitting the beach is a popular way to spend the day. When we imagine about the beach, the hot sand, the cold water of the sea and a good tan comes in our mind. But sometimes unpleasant thing can occur even on a trip to the beach and they can spoil your holiday.

Here are some tricks to make your beach vacation pleasant, safe and fun.

Freeze your water bottles instead of bringing ice pack to keep your snacks cool. Your water will be extra cold for hours and the snacks will be fresh too.

Save a plastic peanut butter jars to store your phone and keys in while you’re at the beach.

How to avoid getting a headache: The sharp change in pressure which occurs when you dive underwater can give you a headache. Thankfully there’s a way to prevent this. Before going diving pinch you nose, close your mouth. This will create some pressure in your head for 5- 10 seconds. Repeat this process 2 more times and your body will adapt to the new pressure and you won’t end up in a headache.

If your ears become blocked: if you’ve got all the water out of your ears but they’re still blocked after sometime at the beach you need to restore the natural pressure in your inner ear. Pinch your nose while blowing a balloon. During this process you’ll hear a weak click sound indicating that the pressure in your ears is back to normal.

Turn your beach towel into a towel/pillow combo. This will make your summer beach trips a dream come true, it rolls up nice and tight.

Cool the Burn: At some point during a beach trip sunburnt is a common problem. To help cool the burning sensation don’t use moisturising lotion – use an aloe gel. Lotion will only trap the heat from a burn, prolonging the pain instead of relieving it.

Put your iphone in a plastic sandwich baggie when you go to the beach. The touch screen still works through the plastic, so you can use your phone without running it in sand and water.

Cool flip- flop: To avoid burning your feet while wearing sandals kept in the sun for hours; just keep them turned over when you’re not wearing them.

For a kiddie pool by dig a hole and line it with a cheap shower curtain liner. You can get them for a buck at the Dollar store so you don’t even have to bring the liner back, just toss it in a trash can before you leave.

To get rid of the sand stuck to your feet, use baby talcum powder to remove wet sand from your skin before you leave the beach. The talcum powder will absorb all the moisture and the sand will fall away easily leaving your legs and feet clean and smooth.

A mesh laundry bag is the perfect container for your kid’s beach toys. All the sand will be sifted leaving it at the beach instead of trailing it into your car and home.

Make sure you are fully prepared for the sand, sea and sun with this hacks.

10 Critical Reasons Why You MUST Wear Socks with Shoes

See 10 Critical Reasons Why You MUST Wear Socks with Shoes in its original form on Our Official Site or check it out here if you prefer.

The “bare ankle” trend that filtered down from the catwalk to the sidewalk may look stylish, but medical experts warn that wearing shoes without socks carries a health risk.

As a matter of fact, the sans socks trend has sparked a fungal epidemic among young “trendy” men.

Other than the sweat and the smell, wearing shoes, sneakers, and training pumps without the soft furnishing of protective socks, ultimately develops into gross foot complaints and lessens the shelf life of your footwear.

Furthermore, foot fungus means, itchiness, soreness, tenderness and other irritating sensations you can well do without. Foot infections and fungal growth are widespread, but you can reduce the risk by wearing socks at appropriate times and taking good care of your feet.

However, there are times when it’s best not to wear socks, too.

What Are the Benefits of Not Wearing Socks?

Biomechanically speaking, the human body is designed to walk around barefoot. The shape of your feet is designed to stretch, and your ankles, knees, and hips respond to the dynamic feedback from your feet.

When you are in the house, garden, beach or other environments that are conducive for walking barefoot without causing pain or injury to the soles, going shoeless and sockless provides your feet with benefits – not to mention helping you to connect to the natural energy lines of the earth.

Although one of the principal functions of socks is to soak up moisture secreted from the sweat glands in your feet, the warmth socks provide can also make your feet sweat. When feet are unable to breathe, they are at risk of developing fungal infections.

Skin also needs to breathe, and a shoe and sock combo is suffocating. To take the best care of your feet, it is good practice to remove your shoes and socks when you get the opportunity so the skin can be cooled and replenished with oxygen.

However, your feet are going to sweat regardless, and it is not always possible to walk around barefoot.

Importance of Wearing Socks

On average, your feet sweat about half a pint a day. With the combination of stuffy shoe fabrics to sop up some of the moisture, shoes create a breeding ground for germs and bacteria.

The vast majority of modern shoes are made from fabrics that prevent your feet from breathing adequately. This is particularly the case in men’s shoes which typically have leather or suede fabrics and lining made from synthetic materials.

When your feet sweat but are unable to breathe, the moisture, heat, and bacteria become trapped inside the shoe. This is what causes your shoes, and your feet to smell.

Important: The College of Podiatry has issued a warning that not wearing socks with shoes increases the risk of developing foot-related ailments such as infections and fungal diseases like athlete’s foot.

The extent of potential foot problems depends on the amount of sweat you produce. Ironically, not wearing socks makes feet perspire more which creates more moisture and can leave your feet vulnerable to fungal infections. It is therefore vital to wear socks that are designed for sweaty feet.

What is important to note is that your feet are going to perspire regardless. If you don’t wear socks, the sweat that comes pouring out of your shoes leaves residue in the shoe lining. This makes your shoes smell and breeds bacteria. This creates more havoc for your feet.

There are also financial implications. When perspiration is left to manifest in your shoes, it makes them smell and degrade quicker, this you need to replace them more regularly. Socks absorb sweat, and this slows down the wear and tear process.

Wearing Sneakers without Socks

The feet have 250,000 sweat glands that secrete an average of half a pint a day. This amount is increased when you are engaged in physical exercise. Most sports footwear is ill-prepared to manage the amount of fluid that spills from your feet despite the claims made by sports manufacturers.

While sneakers that are specifically designed for running and other sports activities are made from fabrics that intend to ventilate the feet and absorb moisture, they are not equipped to manage the amount of sweat intake you generate if you’re wearing sneakers without socks.

All sneakers need replacing eventually of course, but wearing socks protects them from accruing sweat which dry’s out and stiffens in the lining. This makes the sneakers bend out of shape and aggravate your feet, which in turn, has a negative impact on comfort and performance.

Not only will wearing sneakers without socks cause damage to your feet, but they also look unsightly. When the sweat stains cling to the inside fabrics, they are difficult to wash out and eventually develop mold. This not only looks unsightly but causes a terrible stench that, in certain situations, would be somewhat embarrassing.

What's the Point of Socks?

The debate between sock or no sock dragged on for several years before tests conducted by the college of podiatry laid to rest the claims of the no-socks brigade.

Even though it is clinically proven that socks help to protect your feet from fungal infections and other foot ailments, the question regarded the need for socks is a persistent one.

In a sense, the question is understandable. Socks are an enigma; the patterns, colors, and fabrics are a fashion statement, but not wearing socks with shoes is also regarded as a fashion statement.

Some men find the European tradition of wearing shoes sans socks a stylish and trendy statement. And there is an argument that no-socks do look better at times – such as with shorts, for example.

It also feels unnatural to wear socks in warm weather. Is the point of socks not to keep your feet warm? Surely wearing sock is the summer will make your feet sweat even more.

Well, yes and no.

In hot weather, your feet sweat even more than usual, and as medical research concludes, socks are needed to absorb perspiration. They ultimately provide your feet with the protection they need to prevent you from developing fungal infections and denigrating your shoes.

Different types of socks also perform various functions. For example, compression socks aid blood circulation and allow blood to flow back to the heart. This will reduce swelling, aches, and fatigue in the legs and eliminate the potential for contracting cramp.

Socks made with soft natural fibers work best such as merino wool and cashmere. Cotton is also a suitable material for everyday wear, but not when playing sports or other strenuous activities such as hill walking.

Although natural fabrics are more expensive than socks made with artificial fibers, the natural materials perform better when absorbing perspiration thus are most useful for everyday wear.

Furthermore, socks made from natural materials protect the lining of your footwear from gathering too much moisture which makes them easier to clean and stay fresh for longer.

Some shoes, especially when new, rub against the contours of your feet, particularly near bones such as the big toe, little toe, heel, and ankle. This can make shoes very uncomfortable to wear and cause painful chafing, bunions and ingrown toenails.

Wearing socks with new shoes protects your feet from scuffing and reduces the chances of you developing blisters, not to mention the sweaty feet syndrome you’ve mustered by the time you get home.

Pro Tip: According to Healthline, wearing socks at night has benefits too. They help keep the core temperature of your body cool, moisten the feet to improve crack heels and increase blood circulation to decrease the risk of a Raynaud’s attack.

Although medical experts recommend wearing socks, on occasions where you don’t want to, there are measures you can take to reduce the amount of sweat your feet emit.

Putting talcum powder on your feet and spraying heavy-duty antiperspirant in your shoes and on your feet will help reduce the amount of moisture, and inserting dry tea bags on the instep and lining overnight will absorb some of the perspiration. It is also recommended to give your shoes at least 48 hours to dry out, so don’t wear shoes for two consecutive days or more.

Is It Better to Run with or without Socks?

Any professional athlete or experienced fitness enthusiast will tell you that the first step in a training program is to have appropriate footwear with a comfortable fit. The purpose of this is to protect your legs and feet from injury and help improve your performance.

Socks are equally important because of their ability to protect your feet and give your foot more support in the running shoe. However, experts also say that in sporting environments, it is pertinent to wear the right type of sock.

The first rule is no cotton socks or foot gloves made from artificial fibers. Although cotton socks absorb sweat, they do not dry out and can cause a slippy-grip underfoot. Synthetic socks made of acrylic or lycra work best.

Depending on the activity and the surface, the type of socks you are wearing can make an impact.

Cross country runners that like to go off-track through rocky hills and uneven terrain with thorns and nettles are wise to wear woolen socks that protect the balls and heels of your feet together with your ankles.

Although most running shoes are lined with ventilated fabrics that allow your feet to breathe, they are not resistant to a build of sweat.

Running without shoes will, therefore, degrade the inner lining of your running shoes and cause the material to break. The holes will then rub against your feet, ankles, and heels and cause chafing, blisters, and corns.

Furthermore, by running sockless, your feet produce more sweat which ultimately increases the chances of you developing a foot fungus, such as athlete’s foot.

Is It OK to Exercise without Shoes?

Exercising without footwear may feel liberating and in the right conditions is healthy for your feet. However, the decision to wear shoes or not depends on the activity you are doing.

Although it is natural to go barefoot when playing football on the beach, for example, you endanger damaging your feet by kicking a leather ball and chafing your foot with gritty sand. This can cause a rash, and your feet will feel uncomfortable when you do put shoes on.

Point of Interest: In the 1980’s, South African athlete Zola Budd inspired people to run without shoes. Some modern physiologists are inclined to agree with her. Evolutionary biologists argue running shoes alter the stride and create an unnatural heel-first gait.

Wearing shoes also weaken the arches of the feet. Exercising barefoot is shown to strengthen the muscles and improve arches.

It is also believed that people that exercise without footwear suffer fewer strains and injuries such as shin splints and plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the heel. However, more research is needed.

Barefoot exercise does come with risks, though. Without the protection of shoes, there is a higher risk of cutting and puncturing wounds in your feet which carry the threat of infection.

Research has also shown that exercising barefoot causes bone marrow edema and stress fractures over the long term.

Walking on soft surfaces every day is an effective way of toughening the soles of your feet. Light exercises such as stretching, yoga, tai chi and qi-gong are best performed without shoes, but sports that involve running or applying heavy pressure to your feet such as tennis or badminton is hard on the bones and more likely to cause injury.

10 Reasons Why Wearing Socks with Shoes Matters

Now we’ve established that socks should be worn with shoes and sneakers and appropriate footwear is advisable for most exercise activities, let’s take a brief look at the reasons why you should wear socks with shoes.

Protection from Germs

Public places are breeding grounds for germs. Walking barefoot in swimming baths, changing rooms, airports and office carpets can attach to your feet and infest your skin or open wound.

UNF biologists have found fungus, virus, staph and even ecoli lurking around public spaces where people are often barefoot. Ecoli is caused by feces and if the infection gets into an open sore can be very nasty.

Protection from Injury

Wearing shoes not only keeps your feet safe from germs but also from debris that could cause a cut or puncture wound. Socks protect your feet and ankles from debris that might get into your shoes such as small pieces of grit or broken glass.

Fungal Toenails

Fungi are present alongside various bacteria and thrive in warm, moist environments.

Wearing shoes without socks creates a breeding ground for bacteria which can cause a fungal infection of the toenails (onychomycosis).

Athlete’s Foot

Fungal infections also cause athlete’s foot which is the most common type of foot complaint in people that wear shoes without socks.

Signs of athlete’s foot start with itching and peeling skin between the toes but can spread to other areas and cause a red, scaly rash that is sensitive to the touch and causes stinging, itching and burning. Start using the best athlete's foot cream as soon as possible.

Smelly Feet

When feet are confined to tight-fitting shoes, sweat does not evaporate properly and seeps into the lining of your shoes. The perspiration then becomes infused with bacteria which creates fatty acids that give off an unpleasant odor.

When you don’t wear socks, your feet release more sweat, and without soft fabric to soak up the moisture, the sweat is absorbed into the fabric of the shoe which precipitates back into your skin.

Once the bacteria are in your skin, eliminating smelly feet becomes more difficult, and subsequently more embarrassing.

Body Heat

Along with the head and hands, the feet are a primary outlet of heat for your entire body. Keeping your feet warm in cold weather also helps keep the core temperature of your body warm.

Blisters

Blisters are a reaction to rubbing, friction, and burns. They are the body’s natural defensive mechanism to protect the skin from further damage and promote healing.

Wearing shoes without socks are typical causes of blisters because the fabrics rub against the exposed skin which is too tender to cope with persistent rubbing.

Corns and Calluses

The constant friction of bare skin against footwear makes the skin dry, cracked and chafed. Not only does this irritate the skin and cause pain, the prolonged rubbing of shoe fabrics against bare skin results in corns and calluses.

Corns are a build-up of hard skin around the toes and calluses are a skin abnormality on the heel or sole of your foot. Both are painful and unsightly, but can easily be avoided by wearing socks. This can help to prevent foot calluses due to the persistent aggravation of your skin.

Performance

Fact: There are 250,000 sweat glands in the feet. During exercise, the glands are working overtime because of the amount of heat you are generating. The feet are one of the centers for controlling body temperature.

If you are engaged in a sporting activity that requires a lot of energy, your feet will produce a lot of sweat which then soaks into the fabric of your sneakers and eventually creates a slippery surface underfoot.

As a result, your grip is weakened which ultimately impacts on your performance, especially when playing sports that require you to be quick off your heels such as tennis, football or basketball. Even when you’re out walking, a sweaty shoe can make you lose your footing.

Comfort

Socks keep your feet snug and warm, protecting your skin from chafing or paddling round in a shoe full of sweat. Wearing socks helps keep moisture levels to a minimum and maintains comfort levels for longer.

Do Socks Make Feet Sweatier During the Summer?

In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Podiatrist Dina Gohil says wearing socks that are appropriate for the environment, weather and activity will help reduce sweat during the summer season. Ideally, the material should be a synthetic blend.

One of the causes of sweaty and smelly feet is wearing the wrong type of footwear and sock in warm conditions. Shoes with plastic or synthetic fabric linings are not a good option because they do not allow sweat to evaporate normally, nor do they absorb perspiration.

You will experience the same problem with synthetic socks. Cotton and nylon socks do not absorb much moisture before becoming sodden, and all-woolen socks tend to become clammy.

The solution is to wear socks made from 60% wool and 40% man-made fibers. If you are playing sports in the summer, buy socks with ventilation panels that are specifically designed to absorb moisture. There are specialist antifungal socks that you can wear.

The summer heat will naturally make your feet sweat more. You may, therefore, want to consider investing in some anti-bacterial, fresh-feet socks that contain chemicals to discourage odor-producing bacteria.

While socks won’t prevent your feet from sweating more in the summer, they are needed to absorb perspiration. By not wearing socks you are inviting bacteria to make a home in your shoes and create foul-smelling odors.

On occasions where you feel socks are not needed, treat your feet with antiperspirant and talc to absorb the moisture, and leave teabags in your shoes overnight to absorb the excess moisture. And always change your socks every day.
