• Exclusive THOR•LON® and Coolmax® construction for wicking, keeping feet cooler.
• Moderate cushioning in the ball/heel for reducing shock, impact, and blisters.
• Light cushioning in arch for better fit and comfort.
• Full padding around toe for maximum protection.

• This 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 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, Thorlos engineered cushion fabric helps replace the function of the natural pads.

• Cotton, wool and silk (all natural fabrics) absorb moisture ["Absorption" is defined as retention]. Wool claims to "wick," which is not true.
• Inside the shoes, natural cushion sock fabrics become ineffective and even harmful to the feet: They absorb moisture, become saturated and collapse. Result: no protection.
• 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.
• Acrylic 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.

THOR•LON® trademark acrylic yarns are exclusively developed for our Thorlos construction. "Trapped" perspiration in the shoe environment tends to "flatten" or crush common acrylic yarns. THOR•LON® acrylics are specially spun to maintain both softness and resilience, which maximizes foot comfort, blister protection and product durability.
