Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and ski touring all place added demands on your body, and in particular, your lower legs. For instance, a descent of X-Socks’ native Switzerland’s challenging, world cup-level Lauberhorn requires skiers to remain in the crouched position for 4,500 metres (some two and three-quarter miles) – even experience and athletic stamina won’t stop those calves erupting and burning - but X-Socks Ski Advance Skiing Socks support will certainly help. X-Socks Ski Advance Skiing Socks guarantee perfect contact with the skis, thanks to the new Effektor footbed, shaped to send specific stimuli to the brain, which then increases its production of messengers, stimulating circulation in the foot and enhancing the supply of important nutrients.Although sharing many characteristics with the company's X-Socks Ski Race Skiing Socks (also available here at SockShop) X-Socks Ski Advance Skiing Socks have a high silk content along with the Merino wool and SkinNODOR yarns to maximise comfort. Among their 16 patent and technology benefits, X-Socks Ski Advance Skiing Socks are strategically cushioned from self-adjusting cuff to protected toe tips with hollow core Robur, and are both allergy and bacteria-resistant.
