This paper explores the influence of textile, physiological, and sensorial parameters on
sock comfort. Comfort parameters of sport socks were evaluated in two different sport
exercises by a non-trained panel. The criteria of the sensory evaluation were perceived foot
temperature, fabric dampness, and pain. No rating scale or common lexicon was needed for
the sensory evaluation. Foot temperature and humidity were measured during the sport
exercises by sensors integrated in the footwear, while coefficients of friction between sock
fabric samples and a mechanical skin model were measured using a previously developed
Textile Friction Analyzer. The influence of textile, physiological, and sensorial parameters
on the sock comfort was statistically investigated. Significant correlations were found
between physiological and sensorial parameters as well as between the fabric friction and
perceived comfort. Perceived comfort depended on the fibre content of sock fabrics and on
the perceived dampness and temperature of the feet. Surface roughness and water content
of the textiles had no influence on sock comfort. The new approach of sensory evaluation
using a non-trained panel is suitable for the assessment of sock comfort. Using test
parameters simulating the contact conditions between foot and sock in sport activities, the
Textile Friction Analyzer is an appropriate device to determine the fabric friction which is
related to the sock comfort. The results of this research represent a first step towards a
better understanding of the influence of different parameters on sock comfort.
