The expert pointed out the benefits for the skin of wearing socks with sandals
Vasilina Mironova, an expert on healthy skin and co-head of the cosmetology clinic, pointed out the medical justification for wearing socks with sandals.
In conversation with aif.ru On Tuesday, May 20, the specialist explained that such a habit can be beneficial for the health of the skin of the feet, as well as prevent the development of fungal infections.
According to Mironova, sweat glands and nerve endings are located on the skin of the foot, as well as on other parts of the body. The skin has a thin protective acid film, and when in contact with shoes without socks, this protection is damaged.
"When the bare foot rubs against the inner surface of the shoe, the protective film is destroyed and the receptors are irritated. As a result, sweat is released, which evaporates and leaves organic substances on the skin and in shoes — a breeding ground for bacteria," explained Mironova.
According to her, it is socks that help reduce this risk, as they minimize friction, absorb moisture and create an additional barrier.
The healthy skin expert also noted that in a number of countries, including India, wearing socks with sandals is considered the norm or even mandatory etiquette.
Earlier, Elizaveta Korzhinyuk, an image stylist, recommended wearing only bright socks with sandals in an interview with RIAMO. According to her, if you really want to wear socks as a way of self-expression, then you need to take the choice of a pair very seriously. It is worth giving preference to bright colors, prints and inscriptions, notes 360.ru .
In November 2022, Steve Jobs' old sandals were sold at auction for $218 thousand. The shoes also come with an NFT photo of Jobs' feet in selling sandals and a book by photographer, businessman and collector Jean Pigozzi, who was personally acquainted with the founder of Apple.
