About Thorlo Socks
Thorlo Socks are engineered to protect the natural fat pads that protect your feet. Fat pads protect our feet but we destroy them by walking and running on hard surfacesThis loss of fat pads is due primarily to damage from shearing forces from walking and running on smooth, unyielding man-made surfaces (concrete, asphalt, hard floors).The damage is compounded by poorly designed and poorly fitted socks and shoes.
Thorlos socks protect the fat pads from shearing forces by transferring these forces from the fat pads to the cushion fabric of the Thorlos; and where fat pad degradation has already occurred, Thorlo's engineered cushion fabric helps replace the function of the natural pads.
Acrylic "wicks" moisture ["Wicking" is defined as transmission or movement of moisture by capillary action], moving it to the outer materials of the shoe where it is released into the outside environment. Thorlos cushion sock fabric maintains resiliency and provides a more natural yielding, forgiving, dynamic environment for the foot (like walking barefoot in grass or sand).
Result: More protection, more comfort.
