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.
