If you avoid buying thick running socks because they make your feet too hot, this post is for you! Thorlos dispels the myth of the ‘thick sock’ once and for all.

Did You Know? The thickness of the product is typically not what causes the sensation of hot feet. Most frequently, feet that are too hot are the result of improper fitting!

A shoe that is too tight can inhibit circulation. This can manifest in the sensation of hot feet in warmer climates, and cold feet in colder climates.  In fact, with proper fitting, a Thorlos cushioned sock fitted with a shoe that is large enough to accommodate the cushioning is MUCH better for the feet than a thinner sock product.  Here’s Why:

• A thicker sock in a larger shoe allows a more complete range of motion of the feet while protecting against friction and chafing from the inside of the shoe. With this full range of motion, your gait is more efficient and the feet do not have to work quite as hard while walking and running.

• The Thorlos anatomically-designed terry cushioning establishes a yielding surface within the shoe that help stimulate circulation in the feet (better circulation=more comfort).

• The Thorlos cushioned sock design helps provide insulation and air flow and wicks moisture, which helps moderate temperature and keeps the feet from getting TOO hot or TOO cold (warm, but not hot, and slightly moist, but not wet).

There you have it! Now you know the real reason behind your sweaty feet!
