When people talk about foot health, shoes usually take centre stage. Yet in clinic, I see every day how socks act as a quiet but powerful tool — protecting skin, regulating moisture, and supporting long-term comfort. Choosing the right pair can reduce friction, improve hygiene, and help prevent common problems like blisters, fungal infections, and skin irritation.

Brands such as Sockshop and Happy Bits, which offer bamboo-rich yarns and gentle, skin-friendly designs, can be valuable options for patients looking to upgrade their day-to-day foot care.
