Copper-infused socks help reduce bacteria and fungi that cause odor.

Copper bracelets have been popular for years, but the healing and purifying qualities of copper have been touted for thousands of years. What IS new is the idea of marrying special copper ions to the yarns in socks to help reduce 99.9% of the bacteria and fungi that cause odors...

A trial of that belief may have come in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped in a mine in Chile for more than two months. The miners were delivered high-tech, anti-microbial, copper-impregnated socks; and when they surfaced after 69 days deep underground, their feet were clean and free of fungus and other infections that might have been expected to develop. Now firstSTREET is pleased to offer our customers socks made using the same copper-infused yarn technology as the socks provided to the miners.

Embedded into the fibers of these non-binding athletic crew socks are subtle but important copper ions -- important because of the anti-microbial properties that can help reduce 99.9% of the bacteria and fungi that cause odors. For walkers, runners and other athletes, those are long-awaited benefits!

Other special features include hand-linked flat toe seams for extra comfort and extra cushioning from heel to toe, elasticized arch support, and a Moisture-Guard™ wicking system to keep feet healthy, cool and dry. We think you will agree with us: These are the most comfortable socks you’ll ever wear! Available in black or white.
