I think one could consider the state of my feet a bit of a paradox, in a sense. On the one hand, my feet are almost always freezing cold, to the point that if I happen to brush up against Blaine’s leg in bed, he actually yelps. On the other hand, despite my feet having the ability to preserve frozen meat, they’re also simultaneously sweaty, all the time.
It’s an odd combination for sure.
I can manage my sweaty feet with specific socks, meaning the materials they’re made from, but Blaine, my husband, arguably has the sweatiest feet I have ever seen. His feet sweat so badly that the bottoms of them actually start deteriorating, because they’re almost always raw, and he has tried just about everything under the sun to tackle the issue without much success.
I got Blaine some socks for Christmas that I was sincerely hoping would help alleviate his sweating issue, and much to my surprise, they’re actually helping keep the sweat at bay tremendously. The socks in question are Dickies Men Dri-tech Essential Moisture Control Crew Socks, which you can order from Amazon for $20 for six pairs.
According to their page via the Amazon website, these socks offer:
- “Soft Breathable Moisture Control Fibers
- “Arch Compression Support and Stability
- “Ventilation Channels Enhance Air Flow
- “Durable Reinforced Heel and Toe.”
Prior to getting Blaine these socks, he would have to change pairs about three times a day. Wearing these ones, he can get through an entire day, so I figure that’s a win for sure.
These socks come in a variety of colours, and based on the reviews, they have proven to be effective for plenty of people who struggle with the same issue Blaine does. If you have sweaty feet and can’t seem to find anything that helps, consider giving these socks a try.
