Thorlos Padded Sock – No Ordinary Socks

Specific Thorlos® are scientifically designed to protect your feet. "*Ordinary socks" are designed to fit into a price range and are only fashion accessories. We have spent millions of dollars to study the "destructive forces" between your foot - your Thorlos® - your shoes and the surface. We have developed special yarns and technologies. Last but certainly not least, we have developed and continued a dialogue with THOR·LO's consumers, whose real needs drive our business decisions.

Q: Why is sock a misrepresentation of Thorlos®?

Ordinary socks have always been purchased for what they are - price competitive fashion accessories. Research suggests that three out of four people experience chronic foot pain, and we all know that the majority of these people are wearing *ordinary socks.* Specific Thorlos® purchased as a component of a protection system have been scientifically proven to help your feet feel better and to enhance performance.

Q: What do you mean by Preventive·Foot·HealthTM?

The state of America's feet is horrible. Americans spend a lot of time and money keeping their skin healthy, their teeth cavity-free and taking vitamins to prevent colds, but we always forget about our feet. We cram our feet into shoes that are too tight with "*ordinary socks" and continue to complain about foot pain. Foot pain is preventable. We have proven this scientifically, and from a more important source, our loyal THOR·LO consumers. They constantly tell us that we have kept our guaranteed promise and their feet really do feel better. We were the first hosiery product awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Our commitment is to help the public become more aware that foot pain is preventable at a relatively low cost.

Q: What about shoes? Don't they protect people's feet?

Yes, shoes protect feet from the ground or surface, but they cannot adapt to the uniqueness of people's feet because no two feet are exactly alike. There is no such thing as a correct and comfortable fit using only a shoe. Also, shoes alone cannot protect you from the shoe itself or other factors like moisture, pressure, shear, circulation, temperature and posture to which your feet are exposed. Specific Thorlos® are scientifically designed to protect your feet from these destructive forces. "*Ordinary socks" are not designed for this and simply cannot protect your feet. They only cover your feet.

Q: What about other "padded socks?" Can't they protect as well as Thorlos®?

Our anatomical design is patented. Our machinery is exclusive to THOR·LO. Our raw materials are made to custom specifications. We have spent years and millions of dollars studying the issues around foot protection, comfort and health. No other "*ordinary padded sock" has produced any research that supports their copy cat claims. If you want or need to take care of your feet you need Specific Thorlos® and a Comfort·Fit®'.
