You’re probably familiar with the unpleasant smell of sweat from socks and sneakers. Even when they come fresh out of the laundry, socks soon start to smell anything but fresh. We naturally combat odors with our socks made from wood.

The cause of the smell isn’t sweat itself, which is usually odorless. Rather, bacteria that convert the proteins and fats contained in sweat into butyric acid are responsible. And this is exactly where our wood-derived fiber comes in.

Our wood-fiber socks deprive bacteria of this breeding ground by absorbing and transporting moisture away extremely quickly. The result: fewer bacteria, less odor, and fresher socks for longer. Studies show that synthetic materials promote up to 1,000 times more bacterial growth than our wood fiber—even cotton is still 10 times higher.

Socks should fit well without constricting, prevent friction, and have no irritating seams. In short, the perfect sock adapts optimally and provides maximum comfort. Our socks are not only expertly cut, but also made from an especially soft fabric. The wood fibers have a very skin-friendly, smooth surface that feels gentle against the skin instead of irritating it. In short, the soft fabric helps significantly reduce friction. In addition, the extra-soft footbed provides a cloud-like walking experience.

Our socks made from wood already save hundreds of liters of water during production compared with cotton. While cotton plants require extensive artificial irrigation, trees grow without additional water consumption. In addition, producing our wood fiber saves up to 75% in CO₂ emissions.
