Design and Engineering

Developed For Performance

Intensive Testing Proven for Success.
Conventional abrasion machine testing failed to provide an accurate picture of how our socks really wear.

Actual wear tests conducted during the styling stage confirmed superiority of our approach over conventionally designed socks.

Laboratory analysis of shrink results, crocking properties, colour fastness and peeling properties enable us to make the right decisions right at the design & engineering stage.

Engineered Fibers
Research and development by Dupont®, Monsonto® and others is increasing the availability of technical fibers. Such wonders as Coolmax®, Duraspun®, Lycra®, etc. are regularly incorporated in our designs to improve performance and comfort.


Developed For Comfort

Contoured Cushion
This concept of shaped cushion, which is strategically incorporated in many of our styles, has proven to enhance performance and comfort.

Impact Support Zones®
Strategically enforced areas (high impact and abrasion areas) in the sock has been proven to reduce friction, improve fit and add comfort.

Selective use of Lo, Medium or Hi Cushion
Depending upon the performance characteristic of the sock, the design team painfully studies and recommends the density and placement of terry cushion. The aim is to create the most comfortable environment for the active feet.


Developed for the Way People Play

Technical Construction
Socks are no longer a commodity. Techological innovations are very much at the forefront in the textile industry. Innovation in sock machinery and fiber production has opened up construction possibilities unthinkable just 5 years ago. We constantly seek out new fibers and use our technical expertise to construct socks that provide improved performance and comfort.

Developed for Easy Care and Healthy Feet

Superwash or Shrink Treated Wool
In order to satisfy consumers' desire for convenience, all our socks containing wool fibers are made from preshrunk wool (64's Quality) or treated in house to achieve fiber shrinkage.
The bottom line is, that all our wool socks are completely machine washable and dryable.

Anti-Microbial or Anti Odour Treatment
Great number of our styles have Anti-Microbial, Anti-Odour, Anti-Soil or Active-Fresh treatments. The porprietary process we use is 100% environmentally friendly. Look for the ProtectGuard® symbol on our packaging - it promotes healthy feet.

Natural Wicking System®
Our patented (pending) Natural Wicking System (NWS) with tiny ventilating holes, is unique in driving out heat and water from the inside to the outside of the feet. This wicking action (WickDry) reduces blisters and hot-spots.
