3 pairs of navy blue bamboo tennis socks

Three pairs of navy blue bamboo tennis socks

The tennis sock is the workhorse among socks: a mid height leg, a thick underside and built for days when you are on your feet from morning to night. This pack contains three pairs in navy blue, a dark blue that works like black but suits blue and denim coloured clothes better. The model is unisex and comes in sizes 30/33 to 45/49.

The thick underside

What separates a tennis sock from an ordinary sock is the sole. The underside of the foot is woven extra thick, so it works as built in cushioning between foot and shoe. If you stand or walk for many hours a day, in a warehouse, in a shop, in a kitchen or along hospital corridors, that is the difference your feet will thank you for at the end of the day. The cushioning takes the edge off hard floors, and it does not wear flat after a few washes.

Navy instead of black or white

Tennis socks usually come in white or black. Navy is the third choice that many overlook. It is dark enough to hide dirt and signs of wear, but it has more life than black, especially with jeans and with blue workwear. If you wear a uniform or a fixed colour at work, navy is often the sock that fits in most naturally.

The leg sits mid height

The leg comes up over the ankle without reaching far up the calf. It keeps the sock securely in place, also in boots and higher shoes, without the tight feeling a long leg can give. The rib at the edge is elastic and keeps its grip wash after wash.

The material

The socks are knitted from 75 % bamboo viscose, 23 % polyester and 2 % elastane. The bamboo viscose draws moisture away from the skin and out into the fabric, where it evaporates, and on long working days that is precisely the property that decides whether your feet feel fresh or clammy. The polyester gives strength in the heel, the toe and the thick sole, and the elastane holds the fit. The properties of the fibre are described together under facts about bamboo.

Tested for harmful substances

The socks are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified with certificate no. 976-15301, and the certificate covers every part of the sock, including the dye in the navy blue colour. The background to the label can be found under what OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means.

Washing and everyday use

Wash at 40 degrees with your dark laundry and leave out the fabric softener, which settles in the fibres and hinders the transport of moisture. The socks dry quickly on a drying rack and are ready again the next morning. Three pairs are enough for a small rotation, where one pair is on your feet, one is in the wash and one is ready to go.

A unisex model

The tennis sock is the same whoever wears it, and the size range from 30/33 to 45/49 covers everything from children's feet to large men's sizes. If you are buying for a whole household, the same model can therefore be used by everyone, just in different sizes. It also makes sorting the laundry easier when all the socks are built the same way. The full overview for both sexes can be found under socks for men and women.
