Rarely do I find a product I can tolerate, let alone enjoy. As someone on the spectrum with fibromyalgia, my skin is a major sensory issue for me. If I could tolerate it, I would be barefoot all the time. Socks are horrible for me. The seam sits in the wrong spot, They get twisted or they simply aren't very soft after a few washings. Smell and temperature is also a sensory thing so for me it is typically a hard decision between options for foot wear.
I typically cannot wait for spring and summer so I can throw away the socks for a season. The older I get, the more comfortable my shoes have to be due to constant pain. By the end of season, I have worn out a couple pairs of nice, comfortable sandals simply from wearing them barefoot. Because I now have to go comfortable, that can be a hundred or so a pop.
Earlier this year, I saw an ad for Flatsocks somewhere. Yes they seem expensive but I figured I would give them a try. I must say it has been night and day. Very absorbent and easy to wash. I've washed about 8 times and there has only been minor color change.
I actually ended up buying to more pairs. I cannot feel them at all other than they feel like a normal tennis shoes.
I do not receive any promotional funding or incentives for this review. Nor do I receive any income from purchases. However, I always want to share things I find that work especially for someone with sensory issues. You can also find them on amazon.
