FAQ

About TabiSocks

★Feature 1★ Tabi-style support socks

A first for basketball?

Tabi-style support socks

The 3D construction means there are no seams between the fingers, allowing the fabric to stretch and preventing pain between the toes.

Apparently, this technology is surprisingly rare, and in sports such as marathons where stress is placed in the same direction for long periods of time, wearing socks with seams between the toes can result in bloody spaces between the toes.

In basketball, the player frequently kicks sideways and braces himself, making it difficult to predict how much strain will be placed on the foot. For this reason, we have adopted tabi-style socks that allow the player to brace themselves firmly without putting too much strain on the toes.

Regular use of tabi-style socks is thought to have the effect of naturally strengthening the sensation in your toes, so we encourage you to move beyond your prejudice and take a step into the world of tabi socks.

*Effects may vary from person to person.

★Feature 2★ Heel support (heel lock)

Securely fasten to prevent injury

Heel lock for tabi-style support socks

Basketball is a sport in which many players suffer from foot injuries such as sprains and knee injuries, but I think there are many players who end up with unstable ankles due to excessive ankle sprains.
When such athletes wear these socks, they may notice that their heels are gently supported.

By providing support to the heel, it is possible to reduce wobbling when landing, and the synergistic effect with the arch support described below is expected to also reduce fatigue.

*Effects may vary from person to person.

★Feature 3★Arch cross support

Not too tight and not too loose

Arch Cross Support

"Too much support can actually lead to a lower arch."

If you rely too much on support, you won't need to use this part of your body, and your muscles will weaken and become unable to be used. On the other hand, if you don't have any support at all, they will remain unable to be used.

Therefore, we have made arch support "necessary" and "minimum" so that players can train their own arches.

Along with heel support, the cross arch supports the shoes, providing a secure and comfortable fit.
However, because they don't feel too tight, you can play for long periods of time without feeling any pain or discomfort. (Naturally, they are also recommended for everyday wear and other sports.)

*Effects may vary from person to person.

★Feature 4★ Braided anti-slip

Fasten your feet and socks, socks and shoes

Tabi support socks with knitted anti-slip

When we first started making it, we had a prototype stick-on anti-slip mat made and tested it, as it was said that stick-on anti-slip mats are effective for sports.

When I tried them on for practice, I found that the anti-slip coating was very strong and provided excellent grip.


but····

It's true that the shoes and socks don't slip, but because the grip is so strong , I felt like the socks and the soles of my feet were slipping, which really bothered me.

I was very bothered by the feeling of my socks slipping off the soles of my feet, so this time I decided to try adding a knitted anti-slip material to increase the coefficient of friction between my feet, socks, and shoes.

It was the first time I realized that there is a difference in the "sense of stopping" between sports played on sand or grass and sports played on a floor court, and it was a learning experience for me.
I feel that there is still room for improvement in this anti-slip feature.

*Effects may vary from person to person.

★Feature 5★ Foot cushion

Special weaving method achieves twice the shock absorption of conventional products

Tabi Support Socks' sole cushion

When you get it, first turn it over.
You will surely see an amazing sight!
You will be amazed at the amount of layers of yarn used on this cushion back.

It provides twice the shock absorption of conventional pile knitting.

The appearance is astonishing, but the comfort is also excellent, and you can feel the amazing technology developed through Econoleg's research and attention to detail in the socks.

This technology allows us to add cushioning where it's needed, without making the socks themselves thicker.

I would like you to try them out and experience the difference in comfort and support compared to sports socks, which are made thicker overall.

*Effects may vary from person to person.

About sock sizes

If you are unsure about the size, we generally recommend going for the smaller size.
For people with a height of 22cm, use 20-22.
For people with 25cm, 22-25

My shoe size is 27.5, but 27-29 socks from other companies are too big, so I wear 25-27... (In this case, I recommend 25-27 socks as well.)

If you wish to sell wholesale

We will only discuss wholesale sales with those who own stores such as chiropractic clinics, osteopathic clinics, salons, etc.
