• Exclusive THOR•LON® construction for resilience, durability and better wicking.
• X-Static® -The Silver Fiber is knitted into the foot area to provide permanent anti-microbial and anti-odor benefits.
• Moderate cushioning in ball/heel for reducing shock, impact, shear and blisters.
• Flat knit at instep and thin cushioning in the arch improves fit.
• Exclusive THOR•LON® corespun yarn promotes circulation and helps keep sock in place.

• 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.

X-Static is a silver-coated textile fiber that enhances products with permanent and natural anti-odor, anti-static and thermodynamic properties. Silver is recognized in the medical community as the most effective antimicrobial agent available. X-Static uses pure silver to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi. X-Static is also the only product that binds with and neutralizes odor-causing ammonia and denatured proteins. Silver conducts electricity; and X-Static dissipates static electricity charges that are created by two non-conductive materials rubbing together. X-static also has thermodynamic properties that help feet stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. X-Static is made with pure silver, contains no chemicals, and is safe for people and the environment. The silver bonds permanently to the fibers and will not wear off. More than ten years of testing and research have demonstrated the effectiveness of X-Static in a variety of high performance textile products.
