Feet
To be fit, to live a healthy life and function efficiently
throughout the day, we need a healthy and strong heart.
For our heart to work well, it is necessary to have a balanced
diet, an adequate amount of sleep and exercise.

Blisters can be avoided, circulation improved, swelling

reduced and performance enhanced with a sock that fits
the anatomy of your feet perfectly to avoid creation of
uncomfortable creases.

Exercise works well if you have the right tools such as the
right socks. Through years of research and tradition,
Vitalsox has worked toward accomplishing this goal by
adhering to the Feetness concept.Socks, a simple but a
technologically innovative item help your feet work better,
stay fit, allowing your heart and the rest of your body to
benefit, creating a general well-being.

Vitalsox has a simple objective, staying focused on the

benefits of the right features that wrap and contour your
feet like a second skin. AB-X padding has an exclusive
absorber cushioning system providing long-lasting maximum
impact absorption.

Firstly but mostly, to have the right sock, the appropriate

fibers, the best technical wicking materials are needed.
Vitalsoxs anti-bacteric Silver DryStat protect you from
external agents, keep your feet dry from bacterial growth
contributing to your overall feetness.

The plantar arch flexion is responsible for pushing back

blood from the feet extreme veins toward your heart.
Vitalsoxs patented graduated compression socks, ideal
for recovery, help vein valves to continue pushing the blood up
especially after a work-out when the plantar arch is at rest.
Vitalsox helps you achieve a fundamental objective, starting
from feetness to bring you to wellness.

silver
The use of silver as an anti-bacterial and healing agent goes
back to ancient Greece.
Long before modern pharmaceuticals, it was even used as
an antibiotic and germicide.
Understanding that polypropylene is recognized as a very
good wicking fiber, Arcos Spa developed a patented fiber,
adding silver ions in the manufacturing process, creating
Silver DryStat.
Because silver ions are built right into the core of the fiber,
they inhibit the growth of bacteria and moulds reducing
unpleasant smells and keeping biological skin balance
during athletic activities.
As we know, body temperature is crucial for comfort during
physical activity, therefore, Silver DryStat becomes
fundamental due to its extraordinary insulating powers.
The water absorption index in Silver DryStat is almost nil,
it has a low conductivity and moisture is kept away from
the skin.
So, if you are climbing the Himalayas, running a marathon
or walking in the park wearing Silver DryStat socks, then
you are assured a perfect equilibrium between temperature
and relative humidity even in the most extreme weather
conditions. Manufactured by Arcos, an Italian-based
company, Silver DryStat can withstand harsh weather
conditions, sun, sweat and humitidy. In addition, it is 100
per cent recyclable and does not pollute the enviroment.

Compression is not a new technology; it has been used

for years in medical patients with venous and arterial
insufficiency. However, the application of this technology to
athletics is relatively new. There is clear evidence to support
compression use in promoting recovery. Using compression
socks after a race or hard workout provide a substantial benefit.
These garments will help to avoid venous stasis (blood pooling in
the legs) and swelling. Compression is particularly helpful in
depended areas of the body, such as the feet and lower legs where
gravity has a greater effect on blood return. Improved blood flow after
a workout results in enhanced nutrient delivery and removal of
waste products to and from muscles. This creates a situation
optimal for muscle repair, reduced stiffness and heaviness in
the legs and possibly less soreness. Several studies have
demonstrated that post exercise blood lactate levels were lower with compression
sock use both during and after exercise. Other studies have demonstrated that
compression socks do create a major fluid shift in the body. Compression garments
are believed to improve venous blood return to the heart and allow for better cardiac
output (flow of oxygenated blood from the heart) thereby aiding oxygen delivery to
working muscles and increased endurance.

Feetness for everyone

Quality performance during our daily life depends primarily on how

good you feel mentally and physically and how efficiently you can
function and carry through the objectives you set for yourself.
As everyone knows a healthy diet, an adequate amount of sleep,
being well prepared and competent, assures good results in any
field. However, very often, small but important details for your
physical well being are ignored and this can jeopardize even the best
of intentions. In effect, in order to really function throughout the day,
one part of the body surely used but often neglected are our feet.
Athletes, doctors, nurses, pilots, to mention a few professions,
definitely know the importance of wearing good shoes to perform
their daily tasks. However, it is also important to go a step further
and pay attention to the quality of socks used. Even the best shoes
are not complete without socks and do not do the job properly, no
matter how fashionable, expensive or technological they might be.
The two, socks and shoes, work hand in hand .
