Socks with silver threads provide protective support by making it difficult for bacteria and microorganisms that cause fungal infections to multiply. However, they are not a substitute for medical products alone in treating existing fungal infections.

Does it cause allergies?
Silver is a naturally occurring element that is compatible with the skin. It generally does not cause allergies. However, reactions can rarely occur in people with very sensitive skin.
Do socks with silver threads have a thermodynamic effect?
Yes. Silver-threaded socks balance the heat generated in the feet thanks to silver's heat conductivity and balancing properties. This thermodynamic effect helps prevent feet from overheating, controls sweating, and reduces heat loss in cold environments. As a result, feet stay more balanced, comfortable, and cool all day long.
What is SC Lycra, used in one-size socks, and what is its purpose?
SC Lycra is a special type of lycra with high elasticity and recovery properties. Rider Healthcare's one-size-fits-all socks use SC Lycra, allowing them to adapt to different foot sizes without putting pressure on the foot, hugging it, and maintaining their shape all day long. This structure reduces the risk of slipping, squeezing, or leaving marks, supporting a comfortable and ergonomic fit.
What do ankle socks and knee-high socks mean?
Ankle socks are a short sock style that ends slightly above the ankle. Knee-high socks, on the other hand, are a longer sock style that wraps around the calf and ends just below the knee.
Can it be used while exercising?
Yes. It supports foot hygiene during activities such as walking, fitness, trekking, and cycling.
What is the silver content of the thread?
The percentage of silver thread varies depending on the model. Some Rider Healthcare socks use silver thread entirely, except for the cuff, while others use silver thread only in the areas below the ankle, i.e., the areas in direct contact with the foot. However, the percentage or ratio of silver thread alone is not an indicator of quality. ✔️ What matters? The use of silver thread in areas where bacteria and odor are at risk; application in the right place, in the right amount, and with the right technique; the quality of the thread, its processing method, and its intended use. ❌ Misconceptions: Using a very high percentage of silver thread does not provide an extra advantage; increasing the percentage does not automatically improve performance; percentage alone does not define effectiveness, comfort, or quality.
