Technical Visibility-Enhancing Socks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'ReflecToes' Reflective Socks Keep Wearers Safer

— November 7, 2019 — Lifestyle
The 'ReflecToes' reflective socks are a premium accessory option for athletes that will keep them safe when heading out to train in low-light scenarios. The socks are accented by a series of reflective components at the ankle that will shine brightly when any kind of illumination is nearby. This will help runners to stay visible when on city streets and further enhance the safety of cyclists by reflecting headlight illumination to ensure motorists always see them.

The 'ReflecToes' reflective socks are also characterized by their technical functionality, which includes a mesh upper section that will allow heat to quickly dissipate for a more comfortable fit. A heel-locking design and arch support round off the socks as being ideal for a range of physical activities.
