5 pairs of light gray bamboo socks

Five pairs of grey bamboo socks in regular length

Black hides everything, and white demands that the rest of the outfit keeps up. Grey sits in between. It is the colour for anyone tired of having only black socks in the drawer, but who does not want to think about whether the sock matches the rest either. The pack contains five identical pairs in grey, in regular length, and the model is unisex in sizes 30/33 to 45/49.

Grey goes with more than you think

Grey socks work with jeans, with light trousers and with most trainers, and they have an advantage that black ones do not: they do not show lint and dust in the same way. The shade here is a mid grey that is neither so light that it looks like a worn white sock, nor so dark that it might as well be black. It looks like a choice, not an accident.

Regular length

The leg comes some way above the ankle, as a classic sock should. That means no bare skin shows between trouser and shoe when you sit down, and that the sock does not slide down inside boots or higher shoes. The elastic at the edge is soft, so it holds the sock up without constricting.

The material

The socks are knitted from 75 % bamboo viscose, 23 % polyester and 2 % elastane. The bamboo viscose is the soft part. The fibre is smooth and round, and it carries moisture away from the skin and out into the fabric, where it can evaporate. The polyester is placed where socks wear out, that is, in the heel and toe, and the elastane makes sure the sock keeps its shape wash after wash.

Fresh feet for longer

Moisture is the reason socks start to smell. Because bamboo viscose moves the moisture away instead of holding on to it, the sock stays fresh longer than a comparable one in cotton. How that connects with the properties of the bamboo fibre you can read more about under is bamboo antibacterial.

Washing

Grey is forgiving in the wash. The socks can be washed at 40 degrees together with both dark and mid light items, and they dry quickly. Avoid fabric softener, which leaves a film over the fibres and impairs the moisture transport. The rest of the advice is under washing and care.

Size

Choose the size that covers your normal shoe size. If you are on the border between two, take the smaller. Bamboo viscose gives a little with wear, so a sock that fits closely from the start ends up fitting exactly, whereas a sock that is too big folds inside the shoe.

Five pairs and onwards from there

Five identical pairs means you are never left with an odd sock after washing, and that all the pairs wear evenly, because they take turns being in use. The pack is sent as ordinary letter post that fits in the letterbox, so you do not have to collect it from a parcel shop. See how under delivery. If the drawer is to be filled right up, you will find more colours and models under socks for women and socks for men.
