Not all socks are created equal. And while they might be an everyday afterthought, the humble accessory can give you a boost when you’re on your feet all day. It’s why we’ve added three smart styles to the NNT workwear range for the first time. Designed with healthcare workers in mind, these new additions are set to keep you comfortable throughout the busiest shift. Here are three reasons you need to upgrade your sock drawer right now…
1. They’re cleverly crafted
Fabrication is key when it comes to comfortable socks. It’s why the new NNT designs are fashioned from soft and sustainable bamboo fibre. “Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial, which means the fibre can repel odour causing bacteria and stay fresher for longer,” explains NNT design expert, Ann Morgan. “It’s also moisture wicking, taking perspiration away from the skin to keep the wearer comfortable and dry,” she says. “Plus, it’s super soft on the skin.” Apart from its silky feel when spun into thread, the bamboo plant is also extremely efficient to grow and fast and effective to produce, making it a more sustainable option, too.
2. They’re like First Class for your feet
“Busy workers will do well with features like cushioned soles and arch support, to keep feet comfortable throughout their shift,” explains Ann. “We’ve designed these socks with healthcare workers in mind, combining the health benefits of bamboo with features such as ankle support and cushioning to take care of the feet,” she says.
3. They’re built to last
Another benefit of bamboo? It’s super easy to care for and offers superior longevity, making it ideal if you work in a demanding role. “Simply turn your socks inside out, throw into a warm wash and dry on the clothesline,” recommends Ann. “This will ensure they last for ages.” Avoiding a hot wash and drying naturally, rather than in the dryer, will keep the bamboo fibre soft, supple and naturally antibacterial for much longer.
