The award-winning British eco-performance sock, TEKO, has introduced its latest innovation, the Achilles Wrap System to improve fit, comfort and performance in a crucial area of the foot.
The Achilles Wrap System is designed to hold the sock onto the foot in the most efficient way possible. Instead of having a ‘wrap’ just around the arch of the foot, TEKO now ‘wraps’ the arch and the ankle up to the Achilles tendon and over the instep. According to the company this stops any slippage or rubbing and feels very secure. It also helps to prevent blisters and is backed by TEKO’s 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
The Achilles Wrap System is positioned as being perfect for runners, cyclists, hillwalkers, skiers and mountaineers – ‘anyone looking to maximise comfort and performance, where poorly fitting socks can leave feet vulnerable to blisters and rubbing.’
TEKO uses eco-friendly fibres that have been developed to work in harmony with the foot and footwear in different conditions. The Achilles Wrap System works in conjunction with TEKO’s other technical features such as anatomical heel pockets, seamless toes and temperature regulating and wicking properties, to keep feet comfortable, dry and feeling fresh.
TEKO’s new Achilles Wrap System has been introduced to its full line of M3RINO.XC outdoor range, the SIN3RGI ski range and the EVAPOR8 ULTRALIGHT running, biking and cross-fit ranges. The innovation will eventually be available across the entire TEKO range.
