Cupron Antifungal fibers are EPA registered to kill 99.9 percent of Athlete's Foot fungus on the sock
This fiber has copper in it, copper is a natural antifungal material.
Wearing them for 12 hours a day can get rid of athletes foot infections. But of course not in a single wearing. You still have to wash and dry your feet everyday.
You can find these socks online at at a few stores. Dr. Scholls is one of the brands that is making them.
Using public showers does have a risk of picking up the fungus. Of course shower shoes help.
I don't like tight ankles on my socks so I buy diabetic socks. I noticed that Dr. Scholls is making that type of sock with Cupron fibers.
There are also some companies making wool blend socks that have Cupron fibers in them.
I suspect these types of socks will become more commonly available in stores over the next few years.
I did learn one other thing recently about feet. I think we all realize they get quite sweaty. But your underarm antiperspirant can be used on the soles of your feet to reduce that issue. Good to know in the summertime! The rule for applying antiperspirants under your arms or on your feet is you must put them on clean, completely dry skin. They work by blocking up the sweat pores and they can't do that if the skin is already sweaty.
