What is ESS^TM (Elastic Support System)?

"Elasticity" is the ability of a stretched fibre to return to its original size and ESS^TM incorporates the highest quality elastics available to gently lock the LifeSock^TM on to your foot and lower leg with minimal compression, no bunching or ride-down and to provide support especially under the arches. By fitting snugly to the skin, ESS^TM contributes to SeaCell^{® active} Merino LifeSocks^TM maintaining regular skin temperature therefore avoiding fluctuations that may cause chilling.

How Merino LifeSocks^TM can "treat your feet" and address common sock or foot complaints

Easy to put on with a comfortable top cuff
The double cuff, high stretch top, with lateral stretch > 240mm (approx. 9.5 inches) enables easy slide-on and ensures minimal compression around the cuff.

Well fitting with no bunching or ride down nor irritating seams
ESS^TM locks the LifeSock^TM snugly onto the foot. The seamless toe closure provides ridge free comfort; the Y heel provides an improved, wrinkle free fit and pressure point reduction. Individual shaping for each foot recognising their differences.

Anatomical cushioning avoids rubbing and friction/blisters
Naturally resilient, 100% Merino wool is renowned for its fineness, strength and durability, and provides the special base for anatomical cushioning strategically placed through the LifeSock^TM for protection with a unique double density cushion pad for bony prominences. Friction is reduced by the softness of Merino combined with that of SeaCell^{® active} when knitted with ESS^TM.

Care Instructions

For best appearance and longevity, wash the LifeSocks^TM inside out in a gentle cycle using a wool approved or mild detergent suited for natural fibres, then line dry. Any soap or detergents suited for babies/baby wear will also suit. As with other natural fibres, do not tumble dry.
