Tracing the advent of socks takes us back to ancient cave paintings showing cave dwellers wearing some kind of fabric on their feet. Socks provide protection, moisture control, temperature regulation and comfort. They ease friction between the foot & the shoe thereby preventing blisters. They promote foot health by absorbing the moisture through sweat that is released on the feet constantly. If this dampness sits inside your shoe it may lead to fungus growing on your feet. ZODIAC socks have moisture wicking properties and are crafted from 2 ply mercerized 100% pure cotton which is treated with an “Anti Bacterial Wash”. After being treated with antimicrobial agents ZODIAC socks will resist the growth of odour-causing bacteria, keeping your feet fresh and odour-free throughout the day. The welt, toe & heel of ZODIAC socks are made with Elastane (spandex) so that they stay pulled up and retain their shape
