The right socks have the power to make you feel confident, empowered and unstoppable.
According to the California Podiatric Medical Association, your feet contain 2,50,000 sweat glands which excrete about half a pint of moisture in a day. The feet also contain one of the highest numbers of dead skin cells, and when all these combines, they make an ideal place for disease-causing bacteria to thrive. If you remember biology from early childhood, you would remember that moist surroundings are the best for micro-organisms like bacteria to grow and reproduce, and that can be perfectly found inside a shoe, especially when you are wearing them all day. Not only does this increase the risk of infections and diseases it will also definitely cause a foul smell, and make your friends run away if at all you decide to let your feet out of your shoes.
