Trekking Evolution Is Here: Discover The Grip, Enjoy The Adventure

Trekking Evolution Is Here: Discover The Grip, Enjoy The Adventure

SOXPro Trekking is the new grip sports sock dedicated primarily to hikers and outdoor adventurers, but also suitable for all outdoor sports activities.

 

The innovative structure of the sock, designed in a dual version (Mid Calf and Over Calf), has been designed to guarantee maximum comfort even for demanding, multi-day tours: optimal support that, starting from the sole of the foot, is able to promote the well-being of the entire body during the entire sports performance.

Maximum support for the ankle is guaranteed by the X-CROSS YARN, a part that makes up the entire ankle area. Thanks to its multi-material composition and the presence of strategic reinforcement bands, it drastically reduces the risk of sprains and strain on the joints. A true support for the athlete’s ankle that allows a considerable reduction in muscular load and an optimisation of energy expenditure during the entire duration of the activity.

Inspired by the Kinetic Chain, we have designed a sock capable of facilitating hikers and outdoor adventurers in all dynamic and complex movements, in terms of preventing injuries and improving performance through comfort, stability and precision.

Thanks to the reduced slip between foot and shoe, there is less need for the central nervous system to activate the motor units. In addition, the Grip:IN action on the heel prevents blisters caused by the sock slipping on damp skin. The perfect mix between the containment bands and the breathable elastic bands, combined with the presence of the Grip:IN technology, will help the athlete in correct posture and the reduction of physical stress due to micro-movements. Total reinforcement of the foot, from the heel to the toe, is guaranteed by the presence of a lightweight 360-degree sponge that, in addition to preventing the formation of blisters, ensures maximum comfort while protecting the most sensitive parts of the foot. The Cushion microtechnology, which extends over the entire sole of the foot, guarantees significant shock absorption.

SOXPro Fast Break, the new grip sock from GEARXPro Sports

SOXPro Fast Break, the new grip sock from GEARXPro Sports

The new SOXPro Fast Break, designed in collaboration with emerging European basketball star Amar Alibegović, is the first grip sock designed specifically for indoor sports.

The innovative structure of the SOXPro Fast Break is characterized, in addition to the presence of anti-slip pads in the shape of an arrow, by a compressive fabric in the ankle area. The absolute novelty is represented by the introduction of GRIP: IN technology (in the world of basketball), which combined with the multimaterial composition of the sock, reduces the risk of distortion and the stress of the joints ensuring greater stability, speed and precision. A real support to the foot and ankle of the basketball player that allows, in addition to a clear reduction in muscle load, an optimization of energy expenditure during the entire duration of the activity. In addition, the Grip: IN action on the heel prevents blisters caused by the sock slipping on damp skin.

Basketball players, forced to mobilize their lower body throughout the game, can suffer ankle and foot injuries. To overcome this problem, GEARXPro Sports has designed a sock capable of facilitating basketball players in all dynamic and complex movements, in terms of preventing injuries and improving performance through comfort, stability and precision. Today, especially among professionals, we have come to the conception that the foot really needs to be inside a grip sock that not only must not allow slipping, but must be comfortable and perfectly adherent to the type of shoe used. Freedom of movement, breathability, stability, reinforcement in particular points, comfort and the right grip are the essential words to make the right choice.

Due to the stability effect, the SOXPro Fast Break reduces the risk of muscle injury. The ankle area is reinforced by a compressive fabric, while the innovative structure of the sock has been designed to ensure maximum comfort: optimal support that, starting from the sole of the foot, manages to promote the well-being of the whole body during the entire sports performance. The protection of the Achilles tendon is instead ensured by the increase of tissue (of greater thickness) strategically positioned in the affected area. The oxygen supply of the tissue improves and inflammatory substances are removed.

The perfect mix between the containment bands and the breathable elastic ones, combined with the presence of the Grip: IN technology, will help the basketball player in the correct posture and in the reduction of physical stress due to micro-movements of the game. The total reinforcement of the foot, from the heel to the toe, is guaranteed by the presence of a light 360-degree sponge which, in addition to preventing the formation of blisters, ensures maximum comfort by protecting the most sensitive parts of the foot. The Cushion microtechnology, extended throughout the sole of the foot, guarantees impressive shock absorption.

An extraordinary feeling of stability during the entire duration of the activity.

GEARXPro Sports & The Total Player: SOXPro Performance Study

GEARXPro Sports & The Total Player: SOXPro Performance Study

In search of optimal athletic performance, in the last ten years the influence of innovation has grown exponentially within the professional and amateur sports market. Modern GPS measurement devices now show how athletes perform significantly greater high-intensity explosive actions, which include acceleration, deceleration, direction changes and high-speed running, and we understand how vital these actions are to sporting success.

The collaboration with The Total Player, a real leader in athletic training in the football field of professional players, has allowed us to analyze through specific tests, the potential benefits that SOXPro anti-friction socks can have on the acceleration, agility and reaction performance of professional footballers of both genders: masculine and feminine.

 

 SPRINT PERFORMANCE STUDY

 

Protocol – Numerous studies confirm that the average distance of the sprint carried out in a professional football match is between 18 and 20 meters. The 20-meter sprint was therefore chosen as the appropriate means to accurately examine the acceleration of the players’ performance.

Champion – The 23 athletes who took part in the test were a mix of professional players, men and women, currently serving in various clubs in the professional divisions of European football. With an age between 18 and 27 (average age of 22).

Equipment – The equipment used for this test consists of a high-precision “Photocell Timing Gates” by Exsurgo Technologies – Gsprint. Exsurgo’s accompanying software EPS (Exsurgo Performance System) was used to monitor the athletes’ performance and record data. Additionally, Catapults’ GPS One sensors were used on all athletes to accurately measure the highest speed recorded in the 20m.

Test – The athletes, after familiarizing themselves with the test protocol, were given three attempts to run their fastest time (without the use of SOXPro socks). The athletes were given 3 minutes between one test and the next, for a large recovery of the dominant energy system. After that, they received the SOXPro socks and were instructed to repeat three more trials at maximum effort to record the fastest possible time.

The results of the “Sprint Performance Study” test show that the average acceleration time in 20 meters without the use of SOXPro socks was 3.13. With the use of SOXPro socks, however, it is 3.07. A consistent and significant improvement, of 6 hundredths of a second, for such a short anaerobic test. SOXPro socks, therefore, play an important role in reducing excessive movement of the foot inside the football boot and consequently improve contact with the foot (increase in reactivity).

 

AGILITY PERFORMANCE STUDY

 

Protocol – The 5-10-5 Pro Agility Test was used for this study, also used by the NFL and NHL to measure athletes’ agility. This short test measures the athlete’s ability to accelerate, decelerate and change direction. The athlete is positioned on a central signaling cone, and has two other signaling cones to his left and right 5 meters away from each other. The athlete begins the exercise with a sprint of 5 meters to the right of him; after touching the first signaling cone he must turn and accelerate in the opposite direction, covering 10 meters to touch the other cone; finally he turns around and returns to the starting point. he limitation of this protocol is that it does not effectively determine reactive capacity, a fundamental component of agility. The test is therefore more suitable for analyzing the athlete’s ability to change direction.

 

Champion – The 23 athletes who took part in the test were a mix of professional players, men and women, currently serving in various clubs in the professional divisions of European football.  With an age between 18 and 27 (average age of 22).

EquipmentBlazepods were used to conduct the Pro-Agility-testBlazePods are specifically designed to glow with bright LED lights, generating vibrant visual cues. Athletes had to touch each Pod (capsule) at each change of direction; if they didn’t, the test would be repeated.

Test – The 23 athletes were informed of the test protocol and each made one test attempt.  They were then subjected to three attempts of the 5-10-5 pro agility test (without the use of SOXPro socks) and the best of the three times was taken. The athletes were given three minutes of rest between trials. They were then instructed to repeat the test protocol three more times with the SOXPro socks, following the same procedure.

The results of the “Agility Perfomance Study” test show that the average time of the 5-10-5 pro agility test with non-SOXPro socks was 4.88 seconds, while the average time recorded with the use of SOXPro socks was state of 4.82 seconds. An average improvement of 6 hundredths of a second.  While this may seem like a relatively small improvement, considering the test protocol, this is an important result. A small but substantial improvement in a short protocol such as the agility test could equate to a more noticeable and significant improvement in the change of direction over longer distances.

 

REACTION PERFORMANCE STUDY

 

Protocol – To accurately measure how SOXPro socks can affect a football player’s ability to react, the “Quick Feet” exercise was used with the Blazepods. Four pods (capsules) were placed in line on the ground 30 cm apart. The athlete is positioned in front of the pods (capsules) about 30 cm apart.  When one of the four pods (capsules) lights up at random, the athlete must react and turn off the light with the nearest foot. The athlete’s goal is to turn off as many pods as possible and record the highest score within 30 seconds.

Champion – The 23 athletes who took part in the test were a mix of professional players, men and women, currently serving in various clubs in the professional divisions of European football.  With an age between 18 and 27 (average age of 22).

Equipment – Blazepods were used to conduct the “Fast Feet” exercise.  BlazePods are specifically designed to glow with bright LED lights, generating vibrant visual cues.

Test – Once the athletes were familiar with the test protocol, they were subjected to an attempted “Fast Feet” exercise with the Blazepods. They were then subjected to three tests (without the use of SOXPro socks) to record their highest score, with a 3-minute break between the tests. They were then instructed to repeat the test protocol three more times with the SOXPro socks, following the same procedure.

The results of the “Reaction Performance Study” test show that the average score in the “Fast Feet” exercise with SOXPro socks was 36, with an average reaction time of 0.532.  While the average score in exercise without the use of SOXPro socks is 35.26 with an average reaction time of 0.542. A standard decrease in the reaction time of one hundredth of a second, which denotes in the complexity of the test an improvement in the ability to react due to the use of the SOXPro socks.

What is the point of Grip Socks?

What is the point of Grip Socks?

Non-slip socks, a sporting revolution. What is their story?

Grip Socks, what is behind their story? Where do they come from? In pursuit of optimal athletic performance, the influence of innovation has grown exponentially within the professional and amateur sports market over the past decade. Modern GPS measurement devices now show how athletes perform in significantly high-intensity explosive actions, which include acceleration, deceleration, direction changes and high-speed running, and we understand how vital these actions are to sporting success. One of the most important interactions during human movement is the relationship between the foot and the ground.

During foot contact, energy is transmitted directly through the kinetic chain to allow the athlete to push or decelerate the body against gravity at maximum speed with the shortest reaction time. As a starting point for energy transfer, each individual step requires a stable base to efficiently initiate and thereby maximize force and energy production along the kinetic chain. With the idea “you are as strong as your weakest link”, the reduction in shoe slippage promotes greater comfort, stability, proprioception and reactions that ultimately lead to a feeling of increased strength and confidence during each step.

Today, especially among professionals, we have come to the conclusion that the foot really needs to be inside a grip sock that not only doesn’t allow slipping, but must be comfortable and perfectly adherent to the type of shoe used as well. Freedom of movement, breathability, stability, reinforcement in particular points, comfort and the right grip are the essential words to make the right choice.

 

THE REVOLUTION OF GEARXPRO SPORTS GRIP SOCKS

The collaboration with an independent laboratory has allowed us to analyze muscle performance and speed through specific tests by measuring the performance of athletes with and without SOXPro grip socks. 

The tests carried out show how the SOXPro non-slip socks allow significant muscle savings. A muscle saving that affects not only the improvement of performance, but also and above all the prevention of injuries and post-activity recovery. The reduced need for the central nervous system to activate motor units thus solves the problem of slipping between foot and shoe in certain movements. In practice, all this demonstrates an improvement in execution times, giving athletes greater performance.

The vision we intend to pursue, and which we place at the center of our being, is: “Research, Develop, Design and Create new products to improve the playing experience of athletes”. We continue to firmly believe that every athlete, increasingly at the center of our choices, regardless of his level, must have the opportunity to fully enjoy the sporting experience.

 

SOXPRO GRIP SOCKS: MORE THAN JUST A SPORTS SOCK

The continuous investments in Research and Development, sustained in recent years, have in fact favored process and product innovations, allowing the discovery of new production techniques and the development of ‘New to the world’ product lines in the grip socks market.

 

The SOXPro Non-Slip Grip Socks have been designed to offer maximum traction inside your shoes. They are characterized by the presence of non-slip pads in the shape of an arrow. The arrows are made with high quality silicone and generate a Grip: IN action that does not allow any slipping inside the shoe. The fine silicone arrows are present not only on the sole of the foot but also in the strategic area of the heel. In this way they prevent the annoying lateral and vertical movements that occur inside the shoe when practicing 90% of sports.

  • Greater comfort and protection of the foot and its arch;
  • Extraordinary feeling of stability while running;
  • Greater speed and explosiveness in the change of direction;
  • Reduction of distortions caused by lateral displacement;
  • Reduction of micro-movements that occur when practicing any sport;
  • The Grip: IN action on the heel prevents blisters caused by the sock slipping on damp skin.

The specifications presented are certified by the Plus X Award jury which awarded the SOXPro Grip socks in the category ‘High Quality, Functionality and Ergonomics’. A great international recognition that underlines our brand’s commitment to guaranteeing the athlete quality, comfort and performance improvements thanks to the innovative SOXPro Anti-slip Grip Socks.

Improve Your Tennis With the New SOXPro Ankle Support FF

Improve Your Tennis With the New SOXPro Ankle Support FF

We officially present the new SOXPro Ankle Support FF, the first grip sock thought of specifically for racquet sport designed in collaboration with Italian champion Fabio Fognini.

The constant support of an athlete of international level like Fabio Fognini (most successful Italian tennis player ever), the first and only Italian winner of an ATP Tour Master 1000 (Monte Carlo 2019), has allowed us to design a unique product of its kind, able to improve the performance of the tennis players in terms of performance, injury prevention and post-activity recovery.

The Ankle Support FF, unlike the Classic and Ultra-Light sisters, represents the new generation of sports sock designed to completely improve the experience in the world of racquet sports (Tennis, Padel, Squash). A combination of comfort and perfect performance, which will allow the athlete to take full control of their body. An optimal support that, starting from the sole of the foot, promotes the well-being of the whole body during the entire sporting performance: free to move, jump and change direction on any playing surface.

Inspired by the Kinetic Chain, a coordinated sequence of activation, mobilization and stabilization of the body segments to produce a dynamic activity, we have designed a sock capable of facilitating athletes in all dynamic and complex movements, in terms of injury prevention and performance improvement through comfort, stability and precision. The benefits presented, confirmed by scientific studies and tests carried out by independent laboratories, qualify the SOXPro Ankle Support FF as a Class 1 Medical Device, like the entire range of socks in the GEARXPro Sports family. The perfect mix of containment bands and breathable elastic bands, combined with the presence of Grip:IN technology, helps the athlete stay in correct posture and in reducing physical stress caused by micro-movements of the game.

The total reinforcement of the toe is guaranteed by the presence of a light 360-degree sponge which, in addition to preventing the formation of blisters, ensures maximum comfort while protecting the most sensitive parts of the foot. The absolute novelty, the first time for a GEARXPro product, is represented by the innovative use of Cushion microtechnology, extended to the entire tip of the foot to best meet the needs of a sport where footwear is more rigid and double, having to resort more frequently to additional reinforcements and more robust soles.

The X-Cage part that makes up the entire ankle area, thanks to its multi material composition and the presence of strategic reinforcement bands, drastically decreases the risk of sprains and the stress of the joints. A real support for the athlete’s ankle that allows a significant reduction in muscle load and an optimization of energy expenditure during the entire duration of the activity: the goal is to shorten recovery times between races as much as possible.

The structure of the SOXPro Ankle Support FF is characterized by the presence of anti-slip pads in the shape of an arrow that allow an increase in performance in agility and speed. Thanks to the reduced slipping between the foot and the shoe, the central nervous system reduces the need to activate the motor units. In addition, the Grip:IN action on the heel prevents blisters caused by the sock slipping on damp skin.
