When Tech Sox ™ launched a line of technically superior socks designed to maximize comfort and increase performance for athletic footwear their high quality products quickly secured a market foothold and now, the Canadian company’s TECH SOX™ GOLF www.TechSox.com sock has been endorsed by the PROFESSIONAL CADDIES ASSOCIATION ( PCA )www.PCAhq.com . In 2004, Tech Sox Inc., acquired state-of-the-art machinery, combined it with the latest advancements in the yarn/fibers industry and pioneered features that keep feet in the ultimate comfort zone during sports and they remain the only manufacturer in North America capable of supplying apparel with these sophisticated features.
Advanced design and sophisticated Elas-Tech synthetics are spun to provide a custom blend of stronger fibers that create a superior arch support, energize the foot and secure the sock. The extreme high performance garment is specifically constructed to eliminate painful pressure points, rubbing and irritation, minimize slippage inside all types of golf shoes and eliminate bunching and sagging. Superior support and padding eliminate dead spots in the shoe and increase stability shielding the foot from shockwaves that send wear and tear up the legs. The high impact padding results in more comfort and enhanced functionality as the advanced fiber compresses to conform to the foot. Feet sweat excessively during sports because their pores are 7 times larger than other body pores and toes sweat more than any other part of the foot. Our custom blend of durable fibers and special cooling vents over the toes maximize wicking capacity inside the shoe pulling more sweat away from the skin more efficiently than ever before, allowing feet to breathe easier and excess heat to escape from the shoe. By adding more silver to the yarn, greater ant-microbial properties are achieved and bacteria destroyed to keep the feet fresh and dry. When feet are well ventilated, they are warmer in cool weather, cooler in warm weather and drier in the wet weather – qualities that are the key to great golf and conditions one encounters on a golf course.
No one spends more time walking on a golf course than a caddie and PCA’s 10,800 certified caddies and their members of this strong organization, the largest of its kind in the world, agree that Tech Sox™ Golf, the sport sock with the dress sock look, dramatically increases comfort and performance levels for caddies and players alike. ” We now are on the way to dress the ultimate caddie starting with the best foundation .. the feet and TechSox’s HI-Quality Sox. ” Stated Dennis Cone, Founder/CEO of PCA. Walk a better game and boost the value of your golf shoe by putting it next to the world’s best golf sock. Enjoy the most comfort and support available between your feet and your footwear. Although we started the company making boot socks for motorsports, there was a demand from our clients for a sock they could wear with their shoes. This combined with a love of Golf, soon developed into a technically advanced sport sock that was designed as a more sophisticated “dress” sock in the 3 styles preferred by golfers. We did some initial testing at key consumer Golf shows and the response was excellent. ” Because we know our technology greatly reduces foot fatigue and caddies spend more time walking a course than any golfer, we approached the PCA. Once they got our product on their feet it was a prefect fit. We are thrilled to be the official sock of the PCA and we know that caddies influence the direction of the game – Caddie on! ” Stated Nancy Mayer
The average pair of athletic socks has a running time of 2 ½ minutes on the knitter. The Tech Sox™ Ped/Ankle Cut model, for instance, uses 5.43 km of high performance carbon and hydrogen filament yarn and 5 ½ minutes running time per pair. The ultra light yarn is the only commercial synthetic fiber in existence with such a low specific gravity. Its outstanding cooling and insulating capacity and its abrasion resistance make TechSox™ the ultimate longwearing footwear for extreme conditions and high performance. The hydrophobic fiber dries in minutes and carries moisture away from the skin. After washing, the socks actually dry more quickly on one’s feet than they do hanging up as the water is wicked away from the skin with astonishing efficiency. Tech Sox™ Elite Golf (is this the proper name?) socks are available in five sizes and in the three styles preferred most by golfers.
