We take everything about our health for granted. Whether it's the food that we eat or the clothes that we wear, we carry on regardless with scant regard for the consequences of our actions. Our feet are the most essential yet little regarded part of our bodies, carrying our full weight for the most part and being the extremity of the body are often forgotten
Elasticity is a wonderful thing. Elastic has impacted on everyone's life in a small yet significant way. There aren't many items that have uses from clothing to holding money together, from closing cereal packets to holding your underwear up. Elastic always tries to regain its original form and thereby lays an interesting story
The human body works well when it is free to do the things it needs to do free from outside encumbrances. Expediency, however means that we need shoes to stop us hurting our feet on the ground, clothes to keep us warm and comfortable, not least decently attired, and looking our best at all times. The human body, particularly our circulatory system does not function well when it is constricted. Wearing socks that are too small for you for example leaves those tell tale marks around the bottom part of your leg where the elastic has cut in to the body
Elastic sewn in to the top of the sock helps hold the socks up. Problems occur though when the elastic bites into the leg. An amount of elasticity is necessary in the construction of the sock but that does not need to be made of elastic. People with medical complaints like diabetes can come to harm through allowing their blood supply to be restricted by elasticated socks
A British manufacturer of quality clothing, HJ Hall has made some wonderful socks called soft top (or softop). They are supremely comfortable, stay up all day long, and yet do not contain elastic that may restrict your circulation. A wonderful British invention that will serve you well for years. You owe it to yourself to check them out. No wonder the British businessman always seems to carry themselves with confidence; their secret weapon is hidden under their trousers
