MERINO SHIN-TECH RUNNING SOCK
Long compression sock in merino wool well suited for the runner who wants to perform at their best, every time. This compression sock is not only constructed with quality merino wool, but is also equipped with an innovative silicone pattern along the shin, which stimulates blood flow and can help prevent shin splints. Furthermore the anti-slip sole helps ensure a better footing in your footwear, so you can avoid blisters and runners’ toes. It is particularly well suited for running and sports with changes of directions.
The many advantages of merino wool
The sock is produced with 24% merino wool. Merino wool generally possess the fantastic characteristics of warmth and breathability. Merino wool is, at the same time, also extremely efficient at moisture wicking, which helps regulate the body temperature.
The sock stimulates blood flow and reduces fatigue
The compression sock improves circulation in the lower leg, which can reduce fatigue and discomfort during or after intense physical activity. Using state of the art weaving techniques, the sock ensures optimal support around foot, ankle and shin, which provides you with the necessary comfort to perform at your highest level.
Achilles tendon compression
The sock is designed to give an additional support for the achilles tendon, which is often exposed to continuous vibrations under activity. By providing an additional compression directly at the achilles tendon, potential pain during and after activity can be reduced, as well as minimize possible swelling.
Arch tendon support
On the inside of the sock you will find a reinforcement in the fabric, which stretches from behind the ankle to the middle of the arch. This reinforcement is designed to provide support for the inside of the arch and prevent pronation during running, which is the natural shock absorption for the foot. Exaggerated pronation can strain the ligaments and muscles, which keep the foot stable, and is a common cause of pains in foot, ankle, lower leg and knee during running. The MERINO SHIN-TECH can help prevent this.
Focus on pains in the shin
On the inside of the sock, you can find a pattern of silicone elements on both sides of the shin, placed specifically where pain from shin splints are most often found. This silicone pattern is designed to stimulate muscles and tendons near the shin, which helps reduce pains related to running. These pains often occur most notably when landing, and especially when on a hard surface. The sock’s combination of aimed stimulation and compression reduces tissue vibrations, which can help alleviate pains in the lower leg.
Anti-slip sole
The MERINO SHIN-TECH sock has a sole with the point by point silicone pattern, stretching from the toes to the back of the heel. This silicone increases friction to the sole of the shoe, which provides you with a more stable footing and a better contact with both shoe and surface.
The sock has been produced in a material which transports sweat away from the skin in a more effective way than cotton or regular synthetic fabric. This keeps your foot dry and combined with the anti-slip sole reduced the risk of getting blisters.
