A real drawback about keeping one's feet warm in winter is the possibility of smells and and overheating so that bacteria thrive. Not so with Carnation Silversocks which contain pure silver. The textile fibres have been coated with silver which has many properties including controlling temperature, eliminating odour and inhibiting growth of odour-causing bacteria.I found the socks extremely comfortable to wear and and they kept my feet nicely warm throughout the coldest weather.
My only reservation is that they come in only two sizes and the smaller ones were were slightly large on my size three feet.
Apparently these socks bring relief to people who suffer from chilblains, diabetes, epiderolyis bullosa and circulation disorders but as I'm lucky enough not to have any of thses conditions I couldn't comment on how effective they are.
Carnation Silversocks are priced £8.17 for adults in black sizes 3 to 7 and 6 to 11 and pink or blue in children's sizes priced at £6.95.
