Technologies and manufacturing processes

• Suppronation® XX-Cross® Bandage

  A sensitive system of tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints - that is our foot. And with just one unfortunate step, this "well-rehearsed" team can go to its knees in pain. That's why the ankle area in particular should be cushioned and stabilized without restricting freedom of movement. The unique Suppronation® XX-Cross® Bandage is knitted from elastic material and gives the stressed tendons, muscles and joint apparatus optimum support and maximum stability without restricting freedom of movement.
  Stabilizes the ankle joint.
  The Suppronation® XX-Cross® Bandage is a cross ankle bandage knitted from an elastic material, which stabilises the ankle and optimally supports the foot's function without limiting the freedom of movement.

• Air-Conditioning Channel® for X-SOCKS®

  No question: Shoes and socks are indispensable. Because in the course of his evolutionary history, man has ventured further and further into regions for which the bare foot no longer offers adequate protection.
  Fresh air supply for a barefoot climate.
  Air-conducting 3D structures and high-tech special yarn promote intensive ventilation of the feet.

• Active-Bund® for X-SOCKS®

  The Aktivbund® adjusts to any leg circumference without slipping or constricting. This guarantees optimal fit and wearing comfort.
  Slipping socks? Never again.
  The Aktiv-Bund® adapts to any leg size without slipping or constricting. That guarantees for a perfect fit and wearing comfort.

• Heel Protector

  At the heel, pressure easily causes blisters. The protector dampens the friction here and thus effectively reduces the risk of blisters.
  Tread 10 years of research underfoot.
  The Heel Protector absorbs friction and thus effectively decreases the risk of blistering.

• ToeTip Protector

  Everyone knows the unpleasant feeling when the foot inevitably slips forward in the shoe again and again and the toes hit the shoe. In the long run, this results in pressure pain. To buffer this pressure, the asymmetrical ToeTip protector is made of a shock-absorbing Robur hollow-chamber yarn. It cushions and protects the toes at their pressure-sensitive tip.
  Protects the pressure sensitive toes.
  To buffer the foot from this pressure the ToeTip Protector is made of Robur that cushions and protects the toes and the especially sensitive tips of the toes.

• Lambertz-Nicholson Achilles Tendon Protector 4.0

  The special Lambertz-Nicholson Achilles tendon protector provides reinforced protection: The protector is designed with an omission. The sensitive Achilles tendon is not stressed because it is protected in the opening of the pad. Pressure and friction are avoided because the shock-absorbing pad keeps the shoe at a distance.
  Relieves the Achilles tendon.
  The special Lambertz-Nicholson Achilles Tendon Protector prevents strain on the sensitive Achilles tendon because it is protected by a surrounding cushion.

• AirFlow Ankle Pads

  Often the ankle rubs in the footwear and if there is an injury to the foot in a fall, it is usually the ankle that is damaged.
  Gives the ankle the greatest possible protection.
  A sickle-shaped arrangement of the AirFlow ankle pads gives the ankle the greatest possible protection during sports such as biking, skiing or motorcycling.

• Instep Protector

  Buckles and laces become a problem in strongly "leg-oriented" sports. Pressure points and skin abrasions are not uncommon here. The instep protector significantly reduces the risk. A soft padding compensates for the punctual pressure and provides a pleasantly soft "interior" in the shoe.
  Distributes pressure and protects against pressure sores.
  The Instep Protector minimizes the problem. A soft cushion spreads out the point pressure and provides for a pleasant feeling in the shoe.

• Air Guides®

  Outerwear can lie heavily on the body and hinder the thermoregulation through functional underwear. In order to maintain the ventilation function, it is necessary to keep a distance between the functional and outer garments.
  Work like spacers and side stops along the Air-Conditioning Channels®.
  Work like spacers and side stops along the Air-Conditioning Channels®.

• Anatomically shaped footbed

  Our foot only bears the entire body weight in a few places. These highly stressed areas are protected and supported in the best possible way by the anatomically shaped footbed, which is adapted to the "L" left and "R" right foot.
  Nature shaped your foot. Your sock should know how.
  Our entire body weight is borne by only a few small areas of the foot. Using the best technology available today, the anatomically shaped footbed aligned to "R"- right and "L"- left foot, protects and supports these high stress areas.

• Traverse AirFlow Channel System

  The Traverse AirFlow Channel System is a 3-channel ventilation system that transports moisture and heat into the receiving area of the Air-Conditioning Channel®.
  Cross ventilation under the sole.
  The three-channel cross-ventilation system helps to conduct warmth and moisture into the Air-Conditioning Channel®.
