MARGINAL GAINS

The doctrine of marginal gains states that in any area of a given sport – no matter how small or apparently insignificant – you should look to make all possible improvements.

We believe that footwear, in particular socks, is a specific area where marginal gains can be not only captured, but also felt.

RAPID MOVEMENT

Rapid movement in sport, twisting, turning or a change of pace shifts pressure from one foot to the other. At this crucial time slips can happen that lead to a loss of balance or even worse, injury. VYPR:5™ foot stability technologies secures your foot inside your boot/shoe reducing the chance of slippage. VYPR:5™ technology is effective in both wet & dry conditions.

ANATOMICAL SHAPING

Blisters on the feet most commonly result from excessive friction and pressure. For example, if a sock is pinched between the shoe and the skin with repeated rubbing, a blister will develop. Our anatomical shaping for the perfect athletic fit helps prevent twisting or rucking in the sock reducing the chance of blisters. .

STRUCTURED COMPRESSION

Good socks with some form of compression have long been used to help reduce swelling caused by medical conditions. That same principle can also benefit athletes. Anything that impedes blood flowing back through the heart can result in blood pooling in the veins of the lower legs or feet, leading to leg swelling, achiness, and fatigue. VYPR:5™ KURV sock has structured compression around the whole foot and leg area that can not only help reduce injuries but also help blood in the veins return to the heart.

DRI-RELEASE TECHNOLOGY

Wet socks are a problem and can increase the friction between the foot and the sock. If it’s not taken care of, it can lead to sores and blisters on your feet. Our dri-release technical material dries 4 x faster than cotton keeping feet drier and cooler, further reducing the chance of blisters..
