I just got a pair of these and I think they’re pretty great. Not really a new idea but a new application of wearing to pairs of socks. In their system each sock is dedicated to a specific purpose. The inner sock basically is there two wick away moisture in the outer sock offer support to the arch into the ankle compression.
I know Tennis Warehouse has just picked up the line and if anybody has had trouble with blisters, foot fatigue, calluses, moisture issues, or stability within the shoe from their socks being too thin or to thick maybe the ELSO socks DSS could be the answer. I was very impressed.
In a nutshell this is the theory behind the ELSO system:
Understanding our Double Sock System and its Importance
Wearing shoes and one pair of socks creates two interfaces: the skin-sock interface and the sock-shoe interface each having a certain level of friction. This measurement is the coefficient of friction (COF) which is a number usually less than 1. High friction between both interfaces is a contributing factor for blisters. To alleviate this problem, the wearer should create an extra interface by wearing additional socks. If the sock-sock interface COF is lower than that of the other two interfaces, the two socks will slide across one another before there is movement elsewhere. That will reduce shear (and therefore blisters).
Double Impact socks were structurally designed to help with this issue and more. The Double Impact Socks assist in the prevention of blisters on the feet, athlete's foot, and shin splints as well as the reduction of friction between the soles of the feet and the shoes. The Double Impact Performance Socks provide additional support to the ankle, reducing the possibility of an injury.
