Just received some as a chrimbo gift. Assumed it was a brand-name.... have just been schooled.

Socks.

Made.

From.

Bamboo.



Feel ridiculously soft. Will try them tomorrow. Possible revelation coming.....

So who has walked this path before me?

I hope it's more comfortable on the feet than it is under the fingernails.

Been wearing them for years. Don't last very well but I used to suffer from athletes foot now and again, on account of me being such an athlete like, and it hasn't been an issue since.

Could just be a coincidence of course

I’ve had bamboo toilet paper before. Didn’t draw blood so that’s a positive

You live at No 54?

Apparently 4 times more absorbent than cotton socks which would certainly help with your manky feet.

I have 1 pair and they are very comfortable. They do require a lot of pulling up in comparison to Pringle socks that I usually wear.

I was sent a pair FOC from BAM but from memory they seemed a little pricey for socks so I thought they can GTF

WITCHCRAFT!

I was buying socks last week and noticed most of Nexts range had bamboo in them.


Will no one think of the pandas?

They’re anti bacterial which is why they’re good for athlete’s foot and general smelly feet problems.

I’ve around 15-16 pairs of socks, 13 pairs of them are bamboo, they are indeed the business. Although I worry for the food stocks of pandas given their increasing popularity

Actually I’ve got 14 pairs, I just counted. Pandas are fucked

Pandas are pretty shit anyway. I've no idea why people try and conserve them.

If they could get it together to reproduce for long enough they'd eventually evolve into vegan communist bedwetters like zedleg and gwwareeeddd

Shit bears.

I’ll have you know I haven’t wet my bed all year.

ffs. I was looking for an amusing image in lieu of a witty response.

Don't ever search the internet for gay bears

... So the person who gave them to Mik, is dropping a hint that he has smelly feet?

Even Chris Packham is on record as saying they should be left to go extinct.

So far:

Ridiculously soft as noted - so comfortable.
Very stretchy.
Breathe very wel, but...... not as cosy. My toes are currently cold. (Sitting at home in bare socks - dont like or own slippers).

I must admit, Bamboo socks are a product I never knew existed...
