Just as some shoes have a thicker spongier sole for dampened impact our brand new black Shock Absorb sock follows the same principle in material form. Using our traditional highly-ventilated mesh on the top of the foot this long distance endurance sock adds large extra thick pads to sensitive areas to keep your feet cushioned & comfortable all day long. The ankle & sole are padded with extra-thick sweat wicking microfibre panels for a springy fresh feel. Thicker-than-average 3D. Dots on the lower leg & ankle absorb a maximum of shocks & vibration from the ground to reduce aches. On the mid & forefoot sections more 3D. Dots stimulate blood flow & increase grip in the shoe while a 360° arch support prevents the material from twisting & increases stability. The reduced movement of the foot combined with optimised sweat evacuation not only improves comfort but also contributes to less blisters & raw skin on long runs. Specific fibres act as hot spot preventers to ensure feet do not overheat & remain cool while the toe box is particulary reinforced to prevent an assortment of colourful toes & lost nails whether youre on the road or the trail. KEY BENEFITS Cushioned impact & increased comfort thanks to large extra-thick microfibre pads in sensitive areas as well as a reinforced toe box. Increased stability & proprioception for a reassuring supportive feel & hightened foot awareness in all sports activities. Specific muscle support & injury prevention thanks to targeted compression & reduced vibration in the ankle & lower calf.
