Will Drymax Socks completely eliminate blisters?
Socks are not the only cause of blisters, so no sock manufacturer should claim their socks can prevent 100% of all blisters. Blisters caused by socks usually develop because the socks do not fit right, have an irritating seam or they become wet. Moisture changes the slipperiness or stickiness (coefficient-of-friction) of the skin, sock, top of the insole and the inside lining of a shoe. Blisters form when the skin rubs, sticks or slides too much inside the sock. In addition, skin tends to soften when it remains wet, making it much more vulnerable to blisters. You’ve probably noticed how your skin wrinkles and softens after taking a long bath, shower or swim.
