Wool is a poor conductor of heat, so woolen socks are good at insulating and retaining heat. This makes them a popular choice for keeping feet warm in cold weather.

What happens when you rub a sock on the carpet?

Rubbing a sock on the carpet can create a build-up of static electricity on the sock. This happens because the friction between the sock and the carpet causes the transfer of electrons, leaving the sock with a negative charge. This can lead to the sock sticking to other surfaces or giving a mild electric shock when touched.


Why is cotton sock better at slowing heat loss compared to no sock at all?

A trapped layer of air.Air is a poor conductor of heat. If you can keep a static (non moving) laver of air next to your skin then that layer of air will keep you at a more comfortable temperature. To keep warm natural fibers/fibres like wool trap air next to the body. Now many synthetic fibers do the same. That means the body warms that layer of air that is trapped and the body stays at a comfortable temperature even if it is cold outside. We are always colder in wind that stops us from holding that trapped layer of air close to our skin. We button up or zip up our jacket trying to keep our air layer intact.The reverse is also true. Wearing loose cotton clothing in extremely hot weather means that the trapped layer of air stops you from feeling the full strength of the outside heat. Usually in hot weather we like a breeze to blow away the air near our body and evaporate the perspiration on our skin. The evaporated water carries away heat from our skin.Cotton is a natural fiber that will trap air next to your skin and keep your feet warm.

Mass between shoe and sock?

The mass between a shoe and a sock is primarily made up of the foot itself, which contains bones, muscles, skin, and other tissues. The shoe and sock provide support, protection, and insulation for the foot, helping to distribute the weight and impact of movement. Additional factors such as moisture, temperature, and shoe fit can also influence the overall comfort and health of the foot within the shoe and sock.

How long it takes for a sock to break down?

A cotton or woolen sock (natural fibres) will break down in a warm moist landfill in a matter of weeks. A sock made of man-made fibres (rayon, nylon etc) will really never break down. It may break into tiny pieces (which animals and insects may eat) but it will still remain rayon and nylon etc for ever. (It is possible that a chemical reaction, or radiation from the sun, may change its composition.)
