(Jump to discount code↓) I've shared a lot of my diet and workout routines lately, I've also answered and explained some of your questions. In order to do something well, you have to have the appropriate tools. So here I am, sharing some accessories that make working out much more enjoyable.
I mostly workout at home, even when I don't wear socks or shoes, I still think that my feet smells of sweat after a 30-minute workout. I would shower immediately after, but I somehow still find it... gross. Plus, if I workout without socks and shoes, the sweat would get on my yoga mat and stink that up. Which is terrible because it's not like I can chuck my yoga mat in the washing machine. Sometimes, when I go hiking with Ares, I also feel like I can't take a break once we get home. I have to rush into the shower and wash my feet! I trust that people who play sports or go to the gym can relate even more.
I looked around online and saw that both the first and second organic searches for tennis socks on Google were breakpoint's Life Performance Odor-Free Socks. They also won the Sports Entrepreneur Award issued by the Sports Administration in 2020. Using a special anti-odor fabric, they not only resolve the problem of smelly feet, but also provide additional support to your feet, which reduces tiredness when walking.
Anti-Odor Socks Review–Heat Dissipation and Odor-Free
One of the biggest problems with sweaty feet when working out at home is that it becomes slippery even with a yoga mat in place, which makes working out difficult. Socks that are odor-free and not too warm are extremely important.
breakpoint's anti-odor sports socks uses iodine odor-free yarn that is SGS and ITS certified. The properties of iodine together with melt spinning technology effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria and the ammonia, acetic acid, and isovaleric acid that are produced along with sweat. This helps prevent bacteria from festering on your feet post-workout and naturally stops it from smelling. Did you know there are tests regarding anti-odor functions? I didn't know this until I was going through their official website either! breakpoint's odor-free socks passed the FTTS-FA-018 deodorization test. Additionally, they passed the JIS L1902:2015 antibacterial test and have been proven to be 99% effective at sterilizing common bacteria including S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, and E. coli even after being washed for 50 times. They also fully suppress the growth of trichophyton mentagrophytes, a kind of fungus commonly found on feet, so you can workout without worrying about getting athlete's foot.
Plus, breakpoint's odor-free sports socks have a striped design on the bottom which works likes an air cushion and quickly send the hot air upwards. They are also thinner on top and thicker on the bottom, which cleverly uses the law of physics to aid heat dissipation.
The first time I wore them, I felt that they had a certain thickness and pressure to them. I was worried that this would make my feet feel stiff and hot while I was working, which would honestly be the most uncomfortable thing in this world and lead to additional sweat. But It wasn't like that at all! They were even more comfortable than thin socks and unlike most socks, they didn't feel damp even after sweated. When I took them off before my shower and after my workout, they didn't smell of anything. Usually, I can't stand the faint stink of sweat on my feet after I workout and absolutely had to shower before I had my first meal. Because breakpoint's anti-odor sports socks took care of the problem, I am able to take a break and have my first meal before showering, which allows me to promptly supply my body with protein and nutrients, which really helps with my recovery post-workout.
I also did this really extreme test. There has been a lot of afternoon showers lately so it's very hot and humid here in Taipei. One day, I wore breakpoint's odor-free sports socks and decided to wear them with a pair of terrible shoes I got off Taobao. Let's talk about these shoes. Yes, they are cute, but they feel like plastic, they aren't airy, and my feet always feel trapped in them. It's simply mind-blowing, no matter if I wore them in winter or summer, with or without socks, they never fail to cook my feet and make me feel awkward when I take them off. But when I got to Ares' place that day, covered in sweat, I was relieved as I took off my shoes. My new socks did not disappoint me! Though my feet still felt hot while I was biking because of my amazing shoes, there was no sweat, no dampness, no stickiness, and no odor at all. It's like I just washed them, I could even smell my lotion.
Anti-Odor Socks Review–Arch Support and Increased Grip
breakpoint's anti-odor sports socks are shapped differently before you put them on. There's this dip in the center, almost as if they were wearing cinches. When you put them on, this lands right where you arch is. The unique design and weave create support for your arch and increase blood flow on the bottom of your feet, making it easier for you to stand or sit for long periods of time. It also helps you have warmer feet in the winter. First time I wore them, I could distinctly feel the pressure around my arch which created a soft support when I was standing, it was as if I was wearing very thin air shoes.
Back to my impressive Taobao shoes, they have another problem. Surprise, surprise. The bottom is completely flat, they are very uncomfortable to walk in and I get tired easily or feel pain in the center of the bottom of my feet. But when I was wearing them with breakpoint performance socks, I got support from the socks and it was much easier to either walk or bike.
The striped grooves on the bottom has the additional function of helping distribute and pass on force (not THE force), which increases your grip and saves energy when walking. I feel that this is not only helpful when standing for a long time, hiking, and shopping, it's also very helping when it comes to doing resistance training at home. It's especially great when doing push-ups and mountain climbers because they keep my feet in place, which allows me to train properly in the correct position. There is a lot of fast running and jumping involved in my high-intensity interval work outs, and better grip makes it safer and at the same time lets me concentrate on my workout without feeling like I'm about to fall.
