X-Socks Trekking Air Step 2.0, Black/Green

Plus, the intricate cushioning and protector system of X-SOCKS® optimises protection. The desire for warm feet is often the reason incorrect materials are used. Wool combos can keep the foot warm but they enable an extremely high rate of bacterial growth.

Technologies:

Achilles Tendon Protector
The Achilles Tendon Protector is made of a highly abrasion-resistant and shock-absorbing material; it protects the Achilles tendon from pressure points and friction from the top of the shoe.

Aktiv-Bund® for X-SOCKS®
The Aktiv-Bund® adapts to any leg size without slipping or constricting. That guarantees for a perfect fit and wearing comfort.

Air-Conditioning Channel®
Conducts air away from the anatomically shaped footbed via the inside surface of the foot and thus ensures that moist, overheated air is pumped out of even tight fitting shoes with every movement.

Instep Protector
Buckles and laces can become a problem in sports that are reliant on leg-power. Pressure points and chafing aren’t unusual.The Instep Protector minimizes the problem. A soft cushion spreads out the point pressure and provides for a pleasant feeling in the shoe.

Heel Protector
The heel area is particularly prone to blisters: the Heel Protector absorbs friction and thus effectively decreases the risk of blistering.

Toe Protector
Who wants to be top needs, to take care of his toes. The asymmetric Toe Protector absorbs pressure and perfectly hugs the contour of the asymmetric toe area.

ToeTip Protector
Everyone knows the unpleasant feeling when a toe constantly bumps up against the shoe. After a while, you have a painful sore spot. The chances of this problem occurring while doing sports is quite high because the continuous movement can cause the foot to slide forward in the shoe. To buffer the foot from this pressure the ToeTip Protector is made of a Robur that cushions and protects the toes and the especially sensitive tips of the toes.

Traverse AirFlow Channel System
The three-channel cross-ventilation system helps to conduct warmth and moisture into the Air-Conditioning Channel®. The traverse ventilation system ensures that large areas of the sole of the foot, areas normally tightly pressed into the shoe, are amply supplied with fresh air. For this, the pumping action of the arch of the foot is mobilised. When you step down, the flattening of the arch forces fresh air around the entire sole of the foot and, when the arch lifts again, air is drawn out of the shoe.

X­Cross® Bandage
Our feet depend on the finely tuned interaction of tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. One careless step can be enough to destroy this experienced team. Therefore the ankles require extra protection without inhibiting the foot’s freedom. This is why we invented the X-Cross® Bandage. It is a cross ankle bandage knitted from an elastic material, which stabilises the ankle and optimally supports the foot’s function without limiting the freedom of movement.
