Copper Clothing: Does It Actually Work As Advertised?
I enjoy trying new products and reviewing them for you to help you make educated purchasing decisions. For this specific piece of content, I got a couple different pairs of Copper Clothing socks to try out and wanted to give you my feedback on them. Copper Clothing has been somewhat of a craze so I wanted to try them for myself. These socks are designed for:
- Athletes: provides muscle support while fighting foot odor and common foot infections
- Pregnant Women: relieves swollen and aching feet
- Elderly: reduces inflammation and protects against infections
- Chronic Venous Disease Sufferers: can help skin conditions such as Lipodermatosclerosis and prevents skin on dry cracked feet from rupturing
- Travelers: helps support blood circulation to the feet especially on long flights
- Workers & Military: can help prevent skin pathologies such as trench foot and blisters from becoming infected, they also don’t need to be washed as often as regular socks
- Diabetics: can protect against food infections and diabetic foot ulcers which could lead to lower limb amputations

Copper Clothing
While I wouldn’t consider myself any of the above, the closest thing to what is listed I would have to say is an athlete. The moisture management of the Copper Clothing copper compression socks was really good. I’m fairly active so my feet sweat quite a bit and the socks actually kept them dry. And, as gross as it may sound, I put the socks to the test as they mentioned they didn’t need to be washed as often so I wore them for two days and to my surprise, they didn’t even have an odor to them.
The anti-microbial properties of the Copper Clothing socks seemed to kill microbes and helped protect my feet from bacteria. And while I couldn’t measure the blood circulation benefits from the compression, I’m a huge fan of compression apparel as a whole. The Copper Clothing socks felt nice and were incredibly soft.

One of the big claims of clothing or items that contain copper in them is the anti-inflammatory properties. Being that they were socks, they are supposed to soothe achy feet and muscles by reducing the accumulation of blood and other fluids in the legs. They also say it can help with arthritis. Again, being that I don’t have any of those types of issues, I really didn’t notice any difference.
Something else to take into consideration if wearing copper clothing is that I believe (and I haven’t looked up any studies) if you want the best results, you would need to wear copper clothing on a daily basis. For most, this might be difficult unless you purchase multiple pairs of socks or other articles of clothing.
Would I recommend copper clothing such as the socks? I don’t see a downside to them other than the price tag. If you suffer from foot pain or blood circulation issues, I’d recommend giving them a try. If you are an athlete or any other individual who falls into the categories mentioned above, I can see a benefit for them as well.
If you have tried any type of copper clothing I’d love to hear your feedback. Feel free to reach out to me or post on my social media.
