The Challenge
Naked feet don't sweat. But in shoes they do. X-SOCKS keeps them dry, thereby restoring the optimum performance and comfort conditions. Needless to say, protective clothing, especially for the feet, is a necessity. Mankind’s conquest of the world and his advance into its cold, harsh climates, made socks and shoes essential. The naked foot could no longer sufficiently protect us. And this is the challenge. How can we perfectly protect and support our feet and recreate the natural, dry barefoot climate at the same time?
The Solution
We positioned the Air-Conditioning Channel® under the arch of the foot, the area that normally does not touch the ground. It begins there and then moves along the foot up to the cuff. 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. An optimal air circulation system for the foot is now a reality: fresh air can even be circulated within a snug-fitting shoe.
