DeFeet Custom Shop Can Weave and/or Print a Corporate, Golf Club or Tournament/Outing Logo Directly onto the Sock; DeFeet Socks Worn By More Than 70 TOUR Players & Multiple Tour de France Winners
Vista, California, October 3, 2005 … DeFeet Golf, a division of Global Tour Golf, today unveiled a unique customization program, offering customers the ability to place their brand and/or corporate logo on DeFeet’s High Performance golf sock line, complete with low minimums and quick-turnaround options.
The DeFeet Custom Shop can weave and/or print a corporate, golf club and tournament/outing logo directly onto the sock, offering unique customization and branding opportunities in a high performance athletic sock. Recently introduced to the golf industry, DeFeet socks feature "Air-E-Ator Vapor Zone®" technology and have been worn by multiple Tour de France winners, as well as more than 70 golfers on the PGA TOUR.
"For golf clubs, tournament organizers and corporations looking for a unique branded gift item, high performance golf socks offer a cost-effective, yet functional option," said Craig Pollard, President, DeFeet Golf. "Customization and personalization options are a growing trend throughout the golf industry and Corporate America, and we are thrilled to offer a custom program for our high performance socks."
The DeFeet High Performance Sock is a lightweight, highly ventilated anti-bacterial sock constructed with an AirEator® Vapor Zone, a mesh weave that travels all the way around the sock to aid airflow and moisture transfer, for enhanced breathability and great moisture management. The unique weave keeps feet dry and comfortable across a range of temperatures. This, combined with precisely located, super lightweight Cush padding, ensures peak performance and helps relieve pounding on feet.
DeFeet, a brand established in 1992, revolutionized cycling apparel with the original Aireator® sock. Today, DeFeet is widely recognized for setting the standard in the design and development of high performance socks for the Cycling Industry. In bringing the DeFeet sock technology to golf, DeFeet Golf has been testing the product among professionals, with more than 70 players having worn DeFeet High Performance socks on the PGA TOUR.
Additional features include En Duro Skinâ?¢ construction, which incorporates the finest merino wools and polyester to reinforce the external heel and toe puncture areas, for unmatched durability. This, along with DeFeet’s unique Sole2â?¢ System, allows the sock to be extra durable, by transporting moisture and enabling the wicking and durability to co-exist.
Further, DeFeet Golf Socks, which offer a one-year warranty, feature a holographic cuff, offering a secure, durable, and dynamic fit, while accentuating the graphic designs as the cuff stretches.
DeFeet Golf Socks are available in a variety of sizes, lengths (low, quarter and full), designs and colors for both men and women. For more information on the customization program, log onto www.defeetgolf.com, or call 800-757-7453.
