Abstract

Dressing feet is not as simple as it once was. Hundreds of types of socks-including socks for specific sports-are now available for athletic consumers. When counseling athletes dazzled by the array of options, physicians can recommend emphasizing the basics: Socks and shoes need to fit together well. Careful sock selection also can help relieve foot conditions and prevent painful blisters.
