Bamboo Fiber Work Boot Socks

12 PAIR $74.00

Quite Simply ‘The Best Socks A Bloke In Boots Can Wear!’

If you always thought that bamboo was that stuff that grows like crazy, makes a mess of rockeries and paths when it gets out of control, and is really hard to get rid of once it’s established – You’re Right!

But bamboo has some enormous redeeming qualities which the Chinese have known about for thousands of years, but we Westerners are only just ‘cottoning onto’ (sorry about that!?) – One of the more recent discoveries about the humble bamboo plant is that the crushed and treated residue from specific varieties of the harvested plant, can be used to produce an amazing textile fibre.

So What’s So Special About Bamboo Fibre?

It’s an amazing fibre, simply because it’s got some amazing properties which are not found in the ‘one package’ in any other textile fibre! – This makes it the perfect choice for many items of clothing!As well as having superior strength, shape, washability, colourfastness, and shrink fastness properties, bamboo fibre is unbelievably soft and comfortable against the skin – described as having a similar feel to cashmere!

Perhaps even more impressively, bamboo fibre :

Has natural bacterial inhibitors.

– Is highly absorbent (60% more than cotton), and breathable.

– Is thermo regulating – cooling in summer, warming in winter.

– Is produced without the use of harsh insecticides, serious pollutants or land degradation, and manufactured with minimal chemical input!

What Does All This Mean For A Humble Pair Of Socks?

Apart from a fantastic pair of thick, soft, hard-wearing, easily washable socks to bring comfort to your feet all day – There’s one more huge redeeming feature :

“NO MORE SMELLY FEET!”

Anti-bacterial Properties

Bamboo has been grown for thousands of years in Asia without the use of pesticides. It is rarely attacked by any pests and is not susceptible to disease. Scientific studies have found that the reason for this is a unique anti-bacterial agent within bamboo named ‘bamboo-kun’. This substance, combined with the tight molecular structure of bamboo fibres, gives it its anti-bacterial and bacteriostatic properties – which do not diminish after 50 or more washes. It is also quite different from chemical additives which can often cause skin irritations and other problems.

Various scientific tests have been performed at laboratories around the world studying the anti-bacterial properties of bamboo fibre. One recent 24 hour analysis found that bacteria introduced to bamboo fibre had reduced to less than 0.2% of the original, whereas the same experiment with cotton showed a bacteria increase of 550 times the original! (Refer :- www.bambrotex.com/second/bc_abt.htm)

What Does This Mean?

Body odour results from gases produced by bacteria which live on the waste which is exuded from our bodies – sweat, and dead skin cells which our bodies give off constantly as a perfectly natural part of living.

When a bamboo fibre is worn against the skin :

– Any moisture (sweat) is immediately absorbed and taken away from the skin.

– The powerful natural anti-bacterial properties of the bamboo constantly keeps bacteria populations in check.

Some people are particularly susceptible to smelly feet because they shed more dead cells from their feet than others, or they have specific personal bacteria which give off that offensive smell. Though no less hygienic than others, their feet just pong! It is rare to find anyone who has not been instantly cured of this condition through wearing bamboo socks.

Washing work socks every day is a natural thing because they do get smelly regardless of who you are, however, although we don’t recommend it, bamboo socks, with their natural anti-bacterial properties can be worn for several days or more and still smell fresh!

So Don’t Muck Around – Give Them A Try!”They’re Not The Cheapest Socks You’ll Ever Buy, But They’ll Be The Best You Ever Bought!”

GETTING YOUR SIZE RIGHT!

Please view the Size Chart for the Brand of boots you are purchasing in the Listing Images.

All
Of The Footwear We Sell Is (Australian) UK/AU Sizing. Which Is The Same As UK Sizing. So, for example if you know your Men’s US Size, compare it to
the UK/AU Size in the Chart . . . and that’s the size you order.

Please know that the size chart supplied is to help you confirm your size. The Boot Warehouse cannot be held responsible for incorrect size selection

Whenever
buying footwear online
it is important to have a very good understanding of your own shoe size
for the
country where you live. If you know your size in either UK, US, EU or
(Australian) AUS/UK Sizing, then you should have no problems ordering
your correct size.

MEASURING YOUR FEET

If you are unsure of the Size you normally wear in any of those ‘Sizing Types’, then measuring your feet length will provide a guide as to what size footwear you need to order.

Following the simple guide below, measure ‘both feet’. You will most likely find one foot is slightly longer than the other, which is quite normal. Then find your boot size on the Oliver Size Chart by comparing your foot measurement.

Please be aware that all boot and shoe manufacturer sizes vary slightly,
and sometimes even vary between styles from the same manufacturer. So using
this information is not foolproof and should be used as a guide only.

1. You’ll Need A Large Piece Of Paper.

2. Stand With Your Heel Against A Flat Wall

3. Mark The Longest Distance From Your Heel To The Tip Of Your Toe. – Then Measure It

MEASURING TIPS

• Always do
  both feet as quite often one foot is slightly longer than the other. (Use the
  longest measurement)

• Always
  measure with socks or stockings on if shoes or boots are to be worn with them.

• If the
  measuring result you get is ‘in between’ – go up a size.

• If your
  feet have an unusually high instep or you have wider than normal feet, take the
  time to send us a message via ‘contact the seller’ before placing your order.
  We will be able to provide more information and advise you of
  alternatives.

If you still get it
wrong, don’t worry. We will always exchange for
your correct size. However a few extra minutes spent checking now
(and then double checking!), could save you delays, unwanted postage
costs, and frustration later in.

FINALLY, SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HALF SIZES

All Australian Boot Manufacturers produce their ‘half size’ boots at exactly
the same length as the preceding ‘full size’. As an example, a Size 9.5 boot is
the same size in length as a Size 9 boot – The difference is in the girth (the
width across the forefoot), which in the half sizes, is manufactured several mm
wider than the preceding full size. So the half sizes ‘feel’ bigger, and are
recommended for people with wider feet.
