Prevent Foot Odour - Why Mohair Socks Are the Natural Choice
Foot odour. It’s one of those things no one wants to talk about, but let’s face it - it can affect anyone, especially if you’re on your feet all day, walking long distances, or wearing boots or trainers for hours at a time. Thankfully, there’s a simple, natural solution that many people are already discovering, mohair socks.
At Capricorn Mohair Socks, we’ve been proudly crafting socks here in the UK using luxurious mohair fibres – and one of the standout benefits our customers rave about is how well they deal with foot odour.
Why Do Feet Smell?
Before we look at the solution, it’s worth understanding the cause. Foot odour isn’t caused by sweat alone, it’s the bacteria that feed on sweat that create unpleasant smells. The more moisture your socks trap, the more bacteria thrive.
Enter Mohair – Nature’s Technical Fibre
Mohair, taken from the Angora goat, has a unique structure that makes it far superior to cotton or synthetic fibres when it comes to breathability and moisture control. Here’s why:
- Naturally antibacterial – The smooth, hollow fibres of mohair are resistant to odour-causing bacteria.
- Moisture-wicking – Mohair doesn’t hold onto sweat. It moves moisture away from the skin and allows it to evaporate quickly.
- Breathable and insulating – Keeps feet cool in summer and warm in winter without overheating.
- Quick drying – Mohair dries faster than wool or manmade fibres, reducing the damp conditions bacteria love.
In other words, mohair socks create a much less hospitable environment for bacteria – helping you keep your feet fresher for longer.
