Question from Larry
All the socks I like to workout in have a decent percentage of nylon included in them.I’ve heard nylon is also quite toxic. Do you, or readers, know of a good, sock to run and/or workout in without nylon or is nylon ok to have in small percentages when buying socks?
Lisa’s Answer
Pure nylon is relatively non-toxic. It is the finishes that are toxic. Nylon used in socks are probably free of finishes. Read more about additive and finishes in plastic here. I wear cotton or wool socks when I am not working out or for hiking but I do use socks with nylon for other exercise. It is a minor exposure. Readers, have you found workout socks that have 100% natural fibers?
Cottonique.com has socks in 100% organic cotton with no elastic. They are a medium weight. I love them and it’s all I ever wear.
seem they are out of stock do you know when they are restocking?
