Fortisocks are ultra-thin inner socks, worn under athletes conventional sports socks which act as a "second skin" and contour to their feet. This promotes breath-ability around the foot, reduces foot sweat and in turn, stops the friction often experienced in high intensity activity between athletes feet, socks and sport shoes. A reduction in this friction leads to heat on the surface of the foot being minimized which stops blisters and other foot ailments in their tracks. Fortisocks have been specially designed to be worn during high intensity activity where the foot is commonly placed under high friction forces. The hydrophobic properties of these materials reduce moisture build-up on the foot as a result of their ability to transfer sweat from the surface of the foot to the outer sock. By reducing moisture build up on the foot, the skin is less susceptible to blister formation, as it is well known that excess moisture softens skin, increasing the risk of blistering.
