Comfort is a fundamental and universal need of a human being. Broadly there are four basic elements of clothing comfort, namely thermo-physiological aspect, sensorial or tactile aspect, physiological aspect and fitting comfort. The thermophysiological comfort concerns about the heat and moisture transmission characteristics through clothing, i.e. transmission of heat, air, and moisture (liquid and vapour). Different properties of the fabric have different effects on its comfort characteristics. For human, comfort is mandatory for entire body from chest to feet. Feet comfort mainly depends on foot wear and socks which prevent our feet from evaporating moisture. Sweat generation in feet depends on gender, age, activity level and environment.
