Five-toe socks have these advantages!

What is your impression of five-toe socks? Do you know its health benefits?


There are two styles of five-toe socks: "single shoe", which is worn with one pair; and "stacked shoe", which is worn with multiple pairs. This time, we will introduce the charm of toe socks and recommend toe socks suitable for various occasions.

The function of five-toe socks

1. Improve sensitivity to cold and swelling

Ordinary round-toed socks can easily cause poor blood circulation because the toes are placed together, making it difficult for each toe to move. In contrast, five-toe socks allow the toes to move freely and allow blood to flow easily to the toes. This improves the flow of lymphatic fluid, which prevents and improves sensitivity to cold and swelling. To improve sensitivity to cold and swelling, we recommend wearing a set of layered socks

2. Easy to hold

The foot is held securely as force is distributed to each toe in a balanced manner. It also improves the body's balance, which improves posture and prevents sprains and falls in older adults. Five-toe socks are also very suitable for sports and are very popular among athletes. (Our socks are not suitable for sports). For situations where you want to emphasize the sturdiness of your feet, such as when you walk a lot and go out, it is recommended to wear five-toe socks made of sturdy fabric alone.

3. Prevent odor and athlete's foot

The areas of the feet that are prone to sweating are between the toes. The 5-toe sock wraps around each toe and absorbs sweat so you don't get stuffy inside the sock. Since it improves stuffiness, it prevents the growth of odor bacteria and athlete's foot bacteria. Since the toes are spread further apart, it also prevents bacteria from transferring to other toes. We recommend wearing antibacterial stockings, or if you want even better results, a pair of versatile stockings.

What are the disadvantages of five-toe socks?

1. It doesn’t look cool

There are more and more popular styles recently, but many people still think they are not popular because they are not mainstream yet. If you’re concerned about your appearance, it might be hard to get your hands on it. In this case, you can wear round-toe socks over five-toe socks, or choose socks that have separate inner sides for each toe. When going out, we recommend a 2-piece suit that can be worn in several layers.

2. Difficulty in dressing

Since each toe is separated, it takes a little effort to put it on. Also, if the sizes don't match, the toe tip will be left behind. Even so, once you put on the toe socks, the comfort is immediately noticeable! If you wear them all the time, you get used to them and can wear them quickly.
