Autumn weather and men's socks, what goes on your feet

Short answer: In autumn the weather swings between mild, wet and cool, so your feet need to stay warm and also be able to dry. Bamboo socks for men are soft and breathable, and they suit the days when you do not know what the weather will bring. Here is what to think about.

Why is autumn difficult for the feet

Autumn is changeable, and it can be cool in the morning and mild by midday. You walk through damp leaves, get caught in the rain, and the shoes get wet on the outside. Your feet can quickly turn clammy if the sock does not let moisture away, and then the whole day feels colder than the temperature suggests.

Why bamboo socks for men suit changeable weather

Bamboo viscose is soft against the skin and takes up moisture, so it suits days that are both rainy and mild. In the collection you will find socks for men in several lengths, which you can choose by the shoes you wear. You can match the thickness to the temperature.

Choose the thickness by the day

On mild autumn days a thin or medium sock is often enough, while a thicker sock suits cold and raw weather. Think about how long you will be outside and how much you move. If you are active you warm up quickly, and a sock that is too thick can cause sweat inside the shoe.

The height must suit your shoes

If you wear boots or higher shoes, a longer sock that covers the ankle and protects against cold shafts is a good fit. If you wear sneakers, a shorter model may be right. Also think about whether your trousers are long enough to cover the cuff, so there is no draught around the ankles on cold days.

Keep your feet dry in the rain

Wet socks are the surest way to cold feet. If you have been out in the rain, change your socks as soon as you get home or to work. Take a spare pair in your bag if the day will be long, and let wet shoes dry completely before you wear them again. A little newspaper inside helps them dry faster.

Fit matters more than thickness

A thick sock in a tight shoe quickly gets cold, because there is no air around the foot. Try the sock in the shoe, and check that there is room for your toes. Often a thinner sock in a shoe with a little air is warmer than a thick sock in a tight shoe, so choose the fit first.

The rest of your clothes count too

Your feet will not warm up alone if the rest of your body is cold. Soft basics such as bamboo boxer briefs and bamboo T-shirts for men work as a base for thicker layers. When your body stays comfortably warm, your feet find it easier to cope with the cold.

Washing and care in the wet season

Wet autumn shoes and socks need a little extra care. Wash the socks according to the care label and let them dry completely before you put them away, so they do not smell stale. Avoid high heat so the shape lasts. With several pairs you can rotate, so each pair has time to dry between wears.
