Bamboo is one of the most cost-efficient and eco-friendly crops due to its fast growth rate (grows to 75 ft. in 45 days) and its natural ability to regenerate new growth without replanting. It also takes in 5 times more greenhouse gases and produces more oxygen than most trees. For many of us, buying choices are increasingly influenced by the impact on the earth’s ability to sustain the resources we need. Bamboo is a good choice for this reason and others.

Bamboo is also a natural product with a comfortable, airy feel. Unlike cotton, the fabric absorbs moisture and wicks it away from your body, making it an ideal fabric for socks, where wicking moisture is essential for comfort and foot health. Bamboo also contains an anti-bacterial/anti-fungal fiber perfect for wearing on feet.Test studies have shown bamboo can even cure athletes foot. If you’re in the market for new comfort socks, hiking socks, athletic socks, diabetic socks, try bamboo and do some good for  your feet and the environment.
