Technical Information

The Trekking Extreme Light sock by X-Socks incorporates 12 of the X-Sock technical features as below

X-Cross Bandage - Stabilises the ankle

Achilles Tendon Protector - The Achilles? tendon Protector reduces the incidence of pressure points and the risk of scraping and bruising.

Heel Protector - The heel area is particularly prone to blisters: The Heel Protector absorbs friction and thus effectively decreases the risk of blistering.

Traverse AirFlow Channel System - The traverse ventilation system insures that large areas of the sole of the foot, areas normally tightly pressed into the shoe, are amply supplied with fresh air.

Anatomically shaped footbed - anatomically-formed foot-bed protects and supports these high stress areas

ToeTip Protector - To buffer the foot from pressure the ToeTip Protector is made of a shock-absorbing hollow-chamber yarn that cushions and protects the toes and the especially sensitive tips of the toes.

Toe Protector - The asymmetric Toe Protector of Robur™ -absorbs pressure and perfectly hugs the contour of the asymmetric toe area.

Air Cool Stripes - These high-tech functional fibres cool and ventilate feet even under the sole and provide incredible comfort even on the hottest days of summer.

Instep Protector - The Instep Protector cushions and acts as a shock-absorber, significantly reducing the incidence of painful pressure points and scraping, bruising and blistering.

AirConditioning-Channel - Covering only 30% of the skin’s surface, it is constructed using a fine-knit mesh, so with every step moist air is pumped out of the shoe and fresh air is drawn back in.

Rod Type Paddings - The rod-shaped pads reduce pressure and absorb impacts.

Self-adjusting Cuff - The Self-adjusting cuff adapts to any size leg without slipping or constricting

On top of these the Trekking Extreme Light sock uses:

SkinNODOR™- (33%) is anti-bacterial and assures long term protection against foot odour.

Mythlan™ - (9%) this is a very lightweight high tech fibre that prevents the growth of odour and bacteria, is anti-allergenic and breathable

Robur™ - (35%) is extremely breathable and elastic and offers excellent protection from pressure and shock. It is also extremely durable and abrasion resistant
