【Why do socks shed cotton? Inferior quality? 】
Many people, busy working for their lives, are accustomed to overtime work. They walk up and down countless times a day, and those who work in the service industry standing for long periods of time or those who sit in an office all day may feel lonely, but for the sake of their future selves, most people choose to buy sports socks with towel cushioning. These socks can accompany you in your daily struggles, giving you more energy and comfort at work, and gradually leading you towards a better life.
After a busy day, when you take off your socks that you've been wearing for a while, you may find that the socks shed cotton. You may think you bought a pair of bad socks, but that's not the case.In fact, you should be happy because it proves that the socks you bought have a higher cotton content, rather than low-cotton sports socks.Especially for socks with towel loops, which are short-fiber cotton, they may break and shed fibers due to friction after wearing them, and the shedding conditions vary from person to person. If the sole of the foot is sweaty, the fibers may stick to the sole or between the toes, and the chance of this happening is highest when wearing new socks without washing them. However, after several washings, the effect will improve and will not have any impact. The cotton yarn will slowly shrink back and become harder, which is also a characteristic of natural cotton yarn.
So why do cotton fibers gather near the toes?This is because when you are exercising or walking, the toes produce friction, causing the cotton fibers to break, and when combined with sweat on the sole, the cotton fibers will stick to the area around the toes.This is similar to when wearing a sweater or knit jacket made of natural fibers such as wool, silk, and linen. The pants may get tangled with the fabric of the sweater or knit jacket. Natural fibers have a higher moisture content and are more prone to shrinking, deformation, and wrinkling, so they require more careful care. This is only true when wearing products made of natural fibers. On the other hand, if the socks are mostly made of chemical fibers such as nylon, polyester, and acrylic yarn, this situation is less likely to occur, but the problem of pilling is more common with chemical fibers.

In conclusion, I hope that every busy person can have a moment of rest and take a break. Resting is for walking a longer path, so give yourself a pair of socks that can walk a long distance. When purchasing socks with towel bottoms and loops, I hope that you will not think the quality is bad anymore. It may be a little troublesome for those who wear sports socks for the first time, but this is a normal phenomenon！
