Pitted keratolysis (PK) and bromodosis have negative impacts on the quality of life especially for military personnel. The antibacterial efficacy and safety of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) make them a suitable additive for textiles. We aim to establish the ability of ZnO‐NP‐coated socks to prevent PK and bromodosis in a real‐life setting.
