5 pairs of mixed colored bamboo socks

Five pairs of bamboo socks in mixed colours

This is the pack for those who cannot be bothered to choose. Five pairs of socks in ordinary length, each in its own colour, gathered in one box. Instead of settling on one colour and hoping it was the right one, you get a small selection to take home and find out in practice which ones you reach for first. The model is unisex in sizes 30/33 to 45/49.

Five colours, one quality

The colours are different, but the sock is the same: the same knit, the same fit, the same softness. That means you can judge the colours on equal terms, and that all five pairs feel the same on the foot. The mixed pack is also the cheapest way to try the range before you buy a whole pack in the colour that turned out to be yours.

Regular length

The leg comes up over the ankle as on a classic sock. There is no bare skin between trouser and shoe when you sit down, and the sock stays up all day without squeezing. It is the length for everyday use, for the office and for all the shoes that are not low trainers.

The material is the main thing

The socks are knitted from 75 % bamboo viscose, 23 % polyester and 2 % elastane. The bamboo viscose is a smooth, round fibre that feels softer against the skin than cotton, and that moves moisture away from the foot and out into the fabric, where it evaporates. Dry feet mean fresh socks, also at the end of the day. Polyester reinforces the heel and the toe, and elastane holds the shape. The whole fibre story can be found under facts about bamboo.

Tested down to the smallest detail

More colours mean more dyes, and that is why the certification is worth mentioning here: the socks are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, cert. no. 976-15301. The certificate covers every single component, that is all the dyes and the sewing thread as well. What the label means is explained under what OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means.

Washing without a system

A pack of mixed colours might sound like extra work in the laundry, but it is not. The colours are colourfast and can be washed together at 40 degrees. Avoid fabric softener, which settles in the fibres, and let the socks air dry, that way both colours and fit last longest. See more advice under washing and care.

Size

Choose the range your shoe size falls into. If you are between two ranges, choose the smaller one. Bamboo viscose gives a little in use, and a sock that sits closely on the first day fits precisely for the rest of the time.

Good to travel with

Five pairs in five colours in one box is also the easy pack to take along in the suitcase. You do not have to count and pair them up before you leave, because the whole week is packed and ready, and the thin socks take up almost no room. Bamboo viscose dries quickly, so a pair washed by hand along the way is dry by the next morning. That makes the mixed pack a regular passenger for people who travel with hand luggage only.

Once you have found your colour

The mixed pack is the starting point. Once you know which colour you use most, most of them come as packs of five identical pairs, both in ordinary length and as low cut. See the whole selection under bamboo socks and the men's models under socks for men.
