Conventional sock wisdom dictates that you can either have padding for protection and comfort or two layers for reduced friction. Padded socks are thick, double layer socks are thin. The 1000 Mile Fusion Sock breaks that mould with innovative design and material technology to provide a sock that offers everything: the 1000 Mile double layer sock's blister-free guarantee, but with padded comfort and protection, including full-length Achilles tendon padding.
The Fusion Sports Sock from 100 Mile offers a Blister-Free Guarantee. This feature is a double-layer construction which eliminates friction between the shoe and sock, therefore reducing friction between the sock and the foot. Because of this, the skin should not be rubbed by the sock, meaning no wear out for 100 miles of use and no blisters. The sock lining is made from a Tactel fabric which is a dynamic speciality fibre which creates a soft, supple, smooth and breathable fabric. According to rigid testing, Tactel fibre is at least twice as soft and 20% lighter than most commonly used fibres. This fabric also allows cool air to flow through the garment at the same time as releasing warmer air from the inside of the sock, creating a cool environment for the foot. The Heel zone is fully padded and extends to protect the Achilles tendon. The padded area offers additional support and helps to protect the Achilles. The warmth provided by the padding keeps the tendon supple, increasing the blood flow, reducing swelling and aiding recovery. A bracing system has been added around the arch area to offer additional support in this key area and will improve the fit, keeping the wearer comfortable and supported at all times.
