The Sugoi Race + Recovery (R+ R) Knee High has performance and health benefits that were quantitatively verified at Hong Kong Polytechnic. With features like progressive support, structured cushioning at the footbed and dense cushioning at heel and toe where maximum impact occurs, the R+R Knee High is designed to reduce slippage, and each sock is anatomically correct for left and right foot construction.
No ordinary sock, the Race + Recovery (R+ R) has been developed based on medically proven and tested technology to promote vasal support and speed blood circulation. The sock is designed to reduce fatigue by minimizing wasted muscle motion through its graduated support starting at the foot with separate zones, matching the lower extremities, up to the knee. The R+R sock foot bed also massages the foot while reducing stress where maximum impact occurs. With features like thermo-regulating mesh channels, reverse Lin-Toe®, a lace pad, comfort band, and sculpted terry comfort foot bed with a reinforced heel, the
Sugoi R & R Knee High is designed to reduce slippage and also to eliminate chaffing. Additionally, each sock is anatomically correct for left and right foot providing an even better fit. . Made with nylon-Tactel® and Polypropylene yarns, the sock has a seamless feel, provides superior moisture transfer, as well as durability with an extremely low thermal conductivity to keep feet cool and dry.
Compression socks, once the domain of
diabetics and frequent flyers, have slowly trickled their way into endurance
sports. We have seen Paula Radcliffe wear them for the last few years; long
white knee high socks - quite a fashion statement. Having used
CW-X products
for years now, I really believe in the benefit of compression technology.
Like CW-X tights, compression socks or
compression sleeves are designed to compress the muscle to reduce muscle vibration. This
reduces muscle fatigue, cramping and more evenly distributes muscle strain.
The socks use a graduated pressure that is heavier near the foot and reduces
pressure towards the knee, which aids blood flow back to the heart. The idea is
to let fresh oxygen rich blood return more efficiently to the legs and feet. In
Kona this year, 25% of the racers wore them.
