Women’s Ankle Sports Socks – Soft Compression for Running

Common questions

How do cooling sleeves and towels actually work?

By evaporation. Wetting them and moving through air is what produces the cooling. In still humid conditions the effect is much weaker, which is why they feel best while you are moving.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

It means the fabric blocks about 98 percent of UV radiation reaching the skin beneath it. Unlike sunscreen it does not wear off, though a stretched or worn fabric protects less.

Why do studios require grip socks?

The silicone dots stop your foot sliding on a reformer carriage or studio floor. Most Pilates and barre studios now make them mandatory, so they are worth owning before your first class.
