Hilly Marathon Fresh Anklet Socks - Blue - L

Polygiene uses silver chloride, a recycled silver salt, to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi at the cellular level. This provides a permanent and effective odor elimination solution.

The socks feature mid to low-level anatomical cushioning in key pressure zones. While providing good comfort, runners who prefer significant plush cushioning for very long distances might find it minimal. They are excellent for marathon distances for many runners, but personal preference varies.

Yes, the comfort, support, and odor-fighting properties make them suitable for various athletic activities such as gym workouts, cycling, or hiking.

The socks are designed to fit snugly. Refer to the sizing guide for your region. A proper fit means they should feel supportive without being constrictive, and the heel cup should sit comfortably on your heel.

No, the Polygiene fabric solution is permanent and designed to last the lifetime of the sock. It inhibits bacterial growth at the source.

Yes, the upper foot venting is specifically designed to allow airflow and moisture management, making them highly breathable and suitable for hot weather conditions.

The flat seam construction eliminates the raised stitching typically found in socks, preventing uncomfortable irritation and potential blisters on the toes during long runs.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the size is correct, the Lycra Sport content is designed for a snug, supportive fit. Wear them for a few runs; they may adapt slightly to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider trying a size up if available or a different sock model with less Lycra.

Check that the upper foot venting areas are not obstructed by debris or lint. Ensure socks are not overly worn, as this can affect fabric performance. Wash the socks to remove any accumulated sweat or residue that might impede airflow.

While Polygiene is effective, heavy soiling or certain detergents can sometimes mask its effects. Wash socks in cold water with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners which can coat fibers. Ensure socks are fully dried before storing.
