Injury Prevention, Support, Training Tools

Capezio's Lifeknit™ Sox are great for dance, training and recovery, and offer comfort, support and compression. Compression points within the sock reinforce and lift, while the durable cushioning absorbs shock to improve performance. Wicking yarn enhances moisture ventilation and overall breathability. The signature Meryl® material prevents odor and bacteria, while distributing body heat for all day comfort through ventilation and moisture wicking. The soft Meryl® base also creates a second skin feel that fits along the arch of the foot like no other. The addition of slip-free traction at the ball of the foot and other critical contact points enhance foot-to-floor grip.
