Classic socks organic cotton and hemp

Organic cotton (58%)

Why prefer organic cotton products over classic cotton?

• conventional cotton cultivation has a negative impact on the environment and farmers
• cotton fields occupy less than 3% of the world's arable land, but consume about 25% of all insecticides and 10% of all herbicides
• chemicals that are banned in food production are used extensively for cotton cultivation
• cotton is one of the most genetically modified plants, especially to tolerate above-average doses of chemicals
• about half a kilo of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are used to make one T-shirt and one jeans
• in the cultivation and production of organic cotton, the use of toxic chemicals that cause poisoning of agricultural workers and damage to the environment, as well as genetically modified organisms, is prohibited
• certified organic cotton farms strive to build a biologically diverse agricultural system and maintain soil fertility in a natural way
• organic cotton is grown alternately with other types of plants, farmers grow 70-90% of rain irrigation during cultivation
• organic cotton consumes up to 10 times less surface water resources
• organic cotton, unlike conventionally grown cotton, does not cause allergic reactions, so it is suitable for children, allergy sufferers, eczema and people with sensitive skin
• organic cotton products are easily degradable in nature and do not harm the environment

Hemp (32%)

Hemp is one of the ecological materials of the future. Hemp textiles do not contain the drug THC. When grown, it consumes up to 3 times less water than cotton, and at about twice the yield of 1 hectare, it does not contribute to soil wear. The plants are undemanding to solar conditions, which allows them to be grown and processed directly in Europe, they grow well even without the use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Hemp fibers are longer than cotton and work better as a UV filter. It is an antistatic material (does not attract dirt) with naturally antibacterial properties. Hemp fabric is very strong and tensile-resistant, compared to cotton, it does not wear out so much when washed or worn, so hemp clothing lasts a long time. It is thus a textile material with enormous potential, which was used in clothing since a thousand years BC and can therefore be considered long-term tested.

Polyamide (8%)

Polyamide is the name of a group of synthetic fibers. Like most man-made fibers, it is sensitive to high temperatures. Polyamide clothing is durable and dries quickly.

Elastan (2%)

Elastane is a synthetic material that gives your clothes flexibility and elasticity. Thanks to the elastane, the clothes hold their shape and do not pull out so easily. Clothing with elastane easily adapts to the shape of your body. Elastane also appears on the market under various trade names, such as Lycra or Spandex.

How to extend the life of your socks?

1. After cutting the toenails, always grind with a fine file! Sharp edges on the nails in combination with the wrong size of the shoes are the most common reason for piercing the socks in the toe. If you want sharp toenails, wear kevral socks, not cotton.
2. Do not wear socks in smaller sizes. You may wear them, but excessive tension on the knit reduces the life of the socks and makes them easier to wear.
3. Wear shoes in the correct size, which is at least 5mm larger than the size of your foot. The small size of the shoes causes more intensive contact of the sock with the shoe in the area of ​​the toe and heel, where the socks are subsequently abraded faster.
4. Quality socks in low quality shoes will not have a long life. Watch the wear of the inner parts of the shoes and change the shoes in time.
5. The perforation of the socks in the heel area is 80% caused by the abrasion of the sock against the worn (rough) inner part of the shoe.
6. Store the socks in the wardrobe in an unfolded state. The popular twisting of a pair of socks into a ball and fixing with the hem of one sock reduces the elasticity of the hems over time.
