Prevent Blisters - Improve Performance
Our Extra Protection Running sock was created as a lighter, more ventilated version of the iconic Maximum Protection Mini Crew sock with PTFE yarns strategically placed only on the bottom of the foot rather than encompassing the entire foot like its Maximum Protection sibling. Prevents foot blisters during marathons and long-distance runs, and protects runners prone to blisters at lower mileages. Runners switching from conventional wicking-fiber socks to Extra Protection Running socks can run blister-free, lowering times and increasing mileage.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Machine Wash warm with like colors. To whiten socks, use bleach alternatives. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron.
Do not use fabric softeners; they leave a residual coating on fibers and fabrics, preventing them from performing as designed. To remove fabric softeners, simply launder with detergent and rinse.
Do not use Chlorine Bleach.
Do not use skin lubricants.
36% Drymax/Olefin, 22% Polyester, 12% Elastane, 4% Nylon, 26% PTFE
SPECIAL NOTICE: These socks are designed for extreme, extended outdoor use by professional mountaineers, ultrarunners, and experts to protect wearers' health and safety in very wet, extreme conditions and over long distances. It is not designed for general consumer use.
Why our ePTFE is Safe:
-
- Inertness and size: PTFE is a high molecular weight, solid, and chemically inert polymer. It does not degrade into smaller, more mobile PFAS under normal conditions and is not water-soluble.
- Non-bioavailability: Due to its size and inertness, PTFE is not bioavailable. It does not accumulate in the body, interact with cells, or be easily absorbed. This distinguishes it from smaller, more mobile PFAS that pose greater health and environmental concerns.
- Low concern for toxicity: Scientific and regulatory bodies, including the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), have classified fluoropolymers such as PTFE as "polymers of low concern" because their properties make them low risk to human health and the environment.
