This time we would like to introduce the round model (rounded tip) of the "Ultimate SHR" which is designed for sweat absorption and quick drying.
* Five-finger type also available.
This model was created in response to strong requests from people who have difficulty using five-finger gloves.
This is the thinnest model in the traditional ULTIMATE series , but it also offers a softer feel when worn.
[Recommended for these people]
- Those who don't like five-toed socks
- Those whose soles of the feet easily become soggy
- Those who use it during hot seasons such as summer
- Those who are troubled by peeling skin
- Those looking for socks that can be used for daily training, running, and exercise
Now, let's get started by introducing the Ultimate SHR.
*The product functions are the same as the five-finger type.
Pursuing sweat absorption and quick drying
The Ultimate SHR was developed with people who wear these shoes in hot weather and those who are concerned about the softness of the soles of their feet and the peeling that can result from this in mind.
Unlike previous ULTIMATE series socks, the base material is a polyester material with a special irregular cross-section , which increases water absorption and quick-drying properties .
This is a bit technical, but conventional polyester does not allow moisture to penetrate into the fibers, and the moisture content is close to zero. Therefore, when water or sweat comes into contact with the fabric, it immediately diffuses and evaporates. However, because moisture does not penetrate into the fibers, although it has excellent quick-drying properties, it also has poor water absorption and can cause sweating .
However, the polyester material used this time has a special irregular cross-section, which means there are areas where moisture cannot get in and areas where it can get in. Therefore, in addition to diffusing and evaporating the moisture , it is also able to absorb water and sweat well, reducing the humidity inside the socks .
By combining quick-drying and absorbency, which previously were not possible together, we have been able to reduce the sticky feeling on the skin and maintain a smooth, comfortable fit .
These socks are sure to be extremely useful for trail running, long marathons, and even mountain climbing and trekking, which require walking or running long distances.
This also leads to a soft feel when worn.
By changing the base material this time, they were able to achieve a thinner fabric and a softer feel that was not available in the ULTIMATE series. The development team says that this has worked well as one of the characteristics of the material, while still retaining the compression function that reduces fatigue .
However, as a developer, I need to be able to effectively explain the "soft feel" in words, but since it's difficult to express well, I would encourage people to try it out and compare it with other products.
Highly durable yet lightweight and thin
The Ultimate SHR also achieves both durability and driving performance, and while it uses highly durable fabric, it is also characterized by its light weight and thinness, so much so that you almost forget you are wearing it.
Although it does not use the CORDURA® fabric material used in the Ultimate and Ultimate ASO, it uses high-strength nylon on the toe and heel, which makes it less likely to tear even during intense exercise or long runs .
In addition, the fabric is made to be extremely thin, making it lighter and more comfortable to wear, similar to being barefoot.
Ultra-grip power perfectly integrates your feet, socks and shoes
The soles of the feet are made of "Nanofront," a nanofiber developed for the first time in the world by Teijin Frontier Ltd., which provides ultra-grip properties that other fibers cannot achieve .
The super grip of Nanofront makes the foot, sock and shoe completely integrated. Your feet will stay in place during trail running, running or trekking (mountain climbing) with lots of ups and downs, allowing you to run with your feet firmly planted on the ground .
This concludes our introduction to the Ultimate SHR (round type).
These socks have unique features, such as sweat absorption and quick drying, which are particularly effective when wearing them during sweaty feet or in the summer, high durability that makes them difficult to tear even during intense active situations, and grip, lightness, and thinness that allow them to be completely integrated with your shoes.
Although these are high-performance socks, they are highly recommended for a wide range of situations, from top athletes to those using them for fast hiking, light trekking, citizen marathons, and diet walking.
