Introducing the Black Robin Designs Bamboo Socks!
For maximum comfort and protection of sensitive skin, the sandals should be worn with smooth, soft, close fitting socks. Our Black Robin Designs socks have been designed specifically for use with sandals.
A common cause of problems for children wearing foot braces for prolonged periods of time, especially those with sensitive skin is inappropriate socks.
Single Layer
The single layer comes with all the benefits of bamboo in a thinner sock style. Children who have less sensitivity and do not suffer from blisters and sores may benefit from using the light single layer sock. In warmer climates, children may find a thinner sock easier to tolerate.
Double Layer
The Double Layered bamboo sock is inspired by the type of socks used by long distance runners. The outer and inner sock layers move freely over one another, minimising rubbing forces between the skin and soft tissues. A well made double layered sock massively reduces skin friction, which is the major cause of blisters and sores.
