Runner's Foot Care Guide: Hygiene and Comfort with Silver Thread
The Runner's Foot Care Guide: Hygiene at Every Step
"LAB-tested hygiene at every step."
During running, each step of the foot carries an impact equivalent to 2-3 times the body weight. Sweating is intense, and moisture buildup accelerates bacterial growth.
Impact and Humidity at Every Step
In a 10 km run, the foot takes approximately 8,000-10,000 steps. Each step involves impact, friction, and sweat.
Contribution of Bamboo Fiber to Running
Bamboo fiber provides natural moisture management — it quickly absorbs and wicks away sweat. When combined with silver yarn, it offers both freshness and antibacterial protection.
Pre- and Post-Training Support
Pre-run concentration, during-run hydration, post-run recovery — a three-phase support approach contributes holistically to running performance.
