X-SOCKS Power Walking Socks

X-Socks® Power Walking Socks have more features than you can shake a walking stick at. These highly engineered socks support the rolling motion of the walking foot. Seamless padding on the instep and heel buffer shocks as well as providing protection against blister-causing friction. X-Socks have ventilation channels to keep the foot cool and dry. X-Socks come in left and right foot versions and styles specifically for men and women.

X-Socks are the most highly engineered high tech socks I've ever seen. The Power Walking version is an ankle-high sock with nine specific features. The sock comes in both men's and women's versions to fit the shape of male and female feet.

Materials: X-SOCKS are made of nylon, polypropylene and elastodiene, all fibers that can help wick away moisture. Skin Nodor® also prevents bacterial growth and foot odor.

Fit: X-SOCKS fit well without being tight on my wide feet. I have some specific problems with a bunion and normally can't wear snug socks. X-SOCKS fit without slipping or bunching, but did not irritate my bunion during a five mile walk.

Protection Features: The X-Cross bandage provides foot and ankle stability, and they also have an achilles tendon protector. Seamless padding on the sole and instep provides cushioning. The padding is thin so it will fit into most shoes.

Anti-Blister Features: The padding at the heel and toes reduces friction to help prevent blisters. The socks is constructed to not only wick away sweat, but to transport it up and out through ventilation channels.

These socks are worth a try if you have problems with blistering and tired feet and want to enjoy a well-engineered sock.
